If you want to sell your home Walter is the guy. He went above what I wouldve expected and took care of everything. We live a 12 hour drive from our condo but Walter looked after our condo and with the trying times were in he sold it.
Walter is by far the most professional realtor we have ever worked with. We were relocating from Kentucky and had little time to look for a home while on a trip to Florida. He listened to what kind of house we were looking for and pulled a number of listings for us to review in advance of our trip. He scheduled all the showings to maximize our time and while looking at each property, he listened to our comments and adjusted the list of homes to match our criteria. Because of Walter's efficiency, market expertise and regional knowledge, we found the perfect home in 5 days. And, he negotiated a great deal for us! Once under contract, Walter expertly guided us through the many steps to closing and was onsite for us for the inspections, repairs and final walkthrough. He identified local resources for the home repairs, pool service, insurance, utilities, pest control and landscaping. Walter personally reviewed that all the repairs were completed properly and even delivered the required documents to the water company. Because of his attention to detail and commitment, we were able to close on the Florida home from Kentucky. His communication skills and responsiveness to emails, texts and phone calls is outstanding. He initiated communications whenever he thought there was something we needed to know or do and we could always rely on his prompt reply to our questions. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in this area, Walter will provide you very professional, comprehensive and outstanding service!
Walter was absolutely phenomenal!!! My husband and I live in CT and were interested in purchasing a second home in Florida. Walter narrowed his search based on our criteria and sent us listings. We found the perfect home!! Walter made the entire process so easy! We didn't even have to go to the closing! He provided mortgage company options, attorney information, insurance options, property mgmt. Information, homewatch services information and MUCH MORE. He helped us by sending information on how to set up utilities, cable etc. He truly has been a godsend and we couldn't have done it without him. If you are searching for a home in Florida your first phone call should be Walter Shepherd!

Walter Shepherd was our representative in looking for a home and selling our current home at the time. He was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. He did exactly as he said he would. Walter displayed exemplary customer service. Walter is very easy to talk with and makes you feel very comfortable in what could be a stressful situation. He was there for us ever step of the way. I highly recommend Walter.
Walter is a true professional whose expertise was helpful in preparing the home for the pictures shown in the listing and for preparing the home for clients interested in purchasing our home. He hosted a preview showing for other realtors and brought back to us their input. He gave us fair warning for clients to come and view our home. And when the home was sold he helped us find a mover and a roofer to make a small repair found on the inspection report. Overall, Walter is an absolute joy to work with. He's always positive even when you are getting down. He has remained a good friend!
Walter was recommended to me by friends who live in Lakewood Ranch. I worked with Walter on a home search in Lakewood Ranch last summer and continue to use his services for my eventual move to Florida. He is professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Walter always goes above and beyond to assist with any needs including design expertise and negotiating with the sellers.He is one of the few realtors who responds quickly to emails and phone calls. I enjoy working with Walter and highly recommend him to anyone.
Walter Shepherd, PA was recommended by a friend of mine. Mr Shepherd was the broker when her sister purchased a home in Venice Florida. When I purchased my home, also in Venice, he helped me every step of the way. Being a first time buyer, I was unsure and nervous. He assured me I was making the right decision. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsible and respectful.Thanks to Walter, the house I purchased is the perfect home for me.I would highly recommend Walter Shepherd to anyone in the market buying or selling a property.
He worked very hard to find what we wanted and represented our interest to the builder. We feel that he is very honest and he followed up on all that he said he would. Best we have ever worked with and we have purchased over eight properties in our years.
Walter is an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first time we connected to the day we closed on our home, Walter held our hand through the entire process. His knowledge of the surrounding area and helping us to find the perfect home, in the perfect location, made all the difference in the world! I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice area to contact Walter immediately!
Walter did an outstanding job helping us find and buy a new home in February 2020. He asked all the right questions to develop a profile of our likes and dislikes and based on that, researched the market and compiled a list of possibilities. From that larger list we were able to view those homes on the internet and narrow the search down to to approximately 10 finalists. Walter then quickly and efficiently arranged for us to see the homes on that short list and narrow it down further to the top three and finally the winning home. We are thrilled with our new home and all the credit goes to Walter for expertly guiding the entire process.
In our transaction, communication was of the utmost importance and Walter was always extremely responsive and thorough in all communications. This, along with his excellent knowledge and service made the whole process a terrific experience. We would work with Walter Shepherd again without question!

Walter was amazing to work with! He listed an investment property I was selling and had the house under contract in 5 days! He is so thorough in everything he does and his skills when listing a home are top notch! His pictures of my property, marketing materials, and advertising really went above and beyond. I will definitely use him again in the buying and selling process. In fact he just assisted me in buying my second investment property and he was once again the best! I have worked with many agents over the 30 years that I have bought and sold properties and he is by far the best!
