We have found that the perfect person must not only possess knowledge of the area’s real estate market and be equipped to help us navigate through its many twists and turns but more important, someone who’s patient, kind and willing to listen to what our desires were for our new home, regardless of how insignificant they may seem.

"
I can’t stress enough the importance of working with a realtor that gives 110%. Alison’s work ethic and determination are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amazing qualities she possesses as a realtor and as a person. Our home buying process took a few unexpected turns along the way, but Alison never let up on her commitment to helping us find our perfect home. Even at times when we felt discouraged, Alison’s positivity and dedication made us feel confident that everything would work out. Every question we had along the way, Alison had an answer for us. Every house we wanted to see, Alison took the time to show us. Every time we needed her she made time for us. The amount of time and effort Alison put into explaining all of the important details about everything along the way made us feel like we were VIP! She really gives you that type of experience. The home buying process is stressful, so to know you can rely on the person you’re putting your trust in brings a sense of comfort that is invaluable. I highly recommend using Alison for any real estate needs and look forward to working with her again in the future." - Kevin C.
"I have worked with Alison to both purchase and sell home properties in Sarasota. She is a complete professional whom is extremely informed and knowledgeable of all market factors, very responsive, always "there" to answer questions and provide guidance, is excellent at seeing and addressing all the details and next steps in the sale or purchase of a home, and is a very strong negotiator of contract details. I've always felt that Alison has "been in my court" to advantage my position as both a buyer and a seller, and I would highly recommend her as an agent that every client would be very glad they partnered with Alison. Whether it be an early morning or late evening question, Alison has always been available and prepared to answer and address any questions or concerns. I am so very thankful that I have her not only as my agent, but also as a dear friend who is a true professional, but also as a person that cares for, and goes way past the "extra mile" to ensure successful transactions for her clients. Alison is absolutely the very best agent I've ever worked with, and I'm so thankful and fortunate for the very positive experiences I've had working with Alison." - Jonathon E.
"To say that we benefited greatly from her involvement, vision and hard work is a gross understatement. She was always optimistic, supportive, and dedicated to our needs and requests. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and helped us get the best deal on both ends of the transactions.” - Jill G.
"Alison is an extremely competent real estate agent. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience working with her. She definitely goes the extra mile and makes things happen that truly impressed me. Alison is also an absolute delight to work with. She's far more polished than the average realtor, yet completely down to earth. In such a competitive industry, excellent customer service, knowledge of the local market and a wonderful and warm personality make all the difference. Alison is also a very impressive person. Ask her about her firs"t career and education when you work with her. I think you'll be impressed, too." - Mario L.
"I want to wholeheartedly recommend Alison Stottlemeyer for your next real estate transaction! If you decide to hire her you will be met with a friendly and approachable personality which makes everyone involved feel comfortable! Alison is an outstanding real estate professional who grew up in the area and is exceptionally knowledgeable about the local market trends, comparable sales & neighborhood insights that helped us make a confident, well-informed decision concerning our new home in Bradenton. We never doubted that she was looking out for us. Whether navigating inspections, negotiations, or the complexities of financing and contracts, she demonstrated expertise and a calm, professional approach that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Well that last part isn't true. It was extrememly stressful but Alison helped steer the process to a satisfying close despite various land mines. Her presence was critical to us closing on our dream home! So to sum up....If you don't hire Alison Stottlemyer you will have bypassed someone from whom you would have received dedication, expertise, and genuine care and with it the excellent results you should expect." - Scott M.
"An agent with integrity and empathy. Alison is very knowledgeable and professional agent. Alison did a great job working with us evaluating the pros and cons of the properties that we toured. We were under a time pressure and ran into hurdles throughout the process - bad lender, outbid on 2 homes and an arrogant seller’s agent. We ended up in our dream home and I am listening to the waves hit the shore and we are absolutely thrilled. Alison got us here - we highly recommend her services." - Sally M.

A Final Sale in Sarasota
We've had the pleasure of working with Alison to buy or sell six times in Sarasota, which says everything about how much we love her grace, her professionalism, her extensive information base on both the legalities and the neighborhoods, and her incredible optimism. She is the master of the deal but also the master at closing with everything as it should be. She has the patience to wait until you see the home that makes your toes tingle, and the eye to know when an offer can be pushed to a better level. On numerous occasions, she reminded us when to push and when to pull back, when to let go and when to let her work her magic. We highly recommend Alison to anyone who needs a realtor, and in fact have done so several times. We know that her excellence isn't a one-time thing but a lifetime of honing her skills and working with hundreds of clients. We know, with absolute certainty, that she will be as good for you as she was for us. Our realtor relationship is at an end as we move to another state, but our friendship will last for a lifetime. Thank you, Alison.

"Seamless, Smart, and Seriously Impressive. Alison is the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. Her communication is proactive and clear. She’s incredibly responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and if there was ever a question she didn’t immediately have the answer to, she found it quickly and thoroughly for us. She kept everything organized and made the entire transaction feel seamless. Three weeks later, we closed on our dream beach condo — and we truly couldn’t have done it without her.
Ease of reaching staff
Very easy"

"Wonderful experience. Alison helped us navigate our way through the process of buying a 2nd home!
Alison was so very patient with us as we hadn't been through the process of buying a home in 30 years! She understood what our requirements were and helped us navigate through all of the options on the market. She was very knowledgeable about what was available and, once we found "the one", she walked us through the process, step by step. She was, most certainly, our advocate and helped us get a fair price (for both parties) for our dream retirement home. Her negotiation skills came into play when a leak was found in one of the bathrooms during inspection. She went above and beyond, getting several contractors to get estimates so she could effectively negotiate with the seller for a fair credit. Because we were in another state, Alison would volunteer to video a walkthrough for us anytime we found a place we wanted to see. She always kept us in the loop and communicated often and was always available if we needed to talk to her. We are loving our new place and couldn't have done it without Alison's guidance! We would not hesitate to recommend Alison to others in need of a knowledgeable Real Estate agent in Sarasota or Longboat Key." - Anita D.
"My 2nd Time enlisting Alison Stottlemyer as my Realtor
I have had a number of real estate agents, including a very duplicitous one. Whereas most have been pleasant, they have not been outstanding or remarkable. I am not the sort of individual who brags about anyone who has provided a service for me...with one exception: Alison Stottlemyer is Outstanding!! I have referred her to several friends who have also been equally impressed with her & her abilities in selling their homes & with very good reasons. I have a partner who had never met her. He too now is not only equally impressed with her skills, dedication & attention to the most minute details, that he too is going to have her list his house. She is one in a million & no one who enlists Alison to sell or buy a home, will be very satisfied at how incredibly smooth she makes things flow & lowers the stress level by many, many degrees. And she's an incredible delight deal with, to boot!" - Gisele P.
"Alison Stottlemyer is a very knowledgeable and competent agent. Whether it is buying or selling a home, hire Alison if you want to get top dollar for your house or the lowest price possible if you are buying your next home. Do not waste time with other agents, go hire the best. Alison is the best." - Ray R.
"Knowledgeable, Patient and Supportive. Alison provided the patience and guidance to support a cross-country relocation that was a journey, not a sprint. Timing is key and Alison "brought it" when it came time to close. I appreciate her so much for delivering on many requests for viewings and accommodating our unique needs. She delivered on closing activities with experience and professionalism. Highly recommend for your next relocation!" - Gaylene G.
" Alison was recommended to me by a friend who is a realtor in another part of Florida. My friend did me a huge favor!
We thought we would need about a month to get our house ready to sell and picked an MLS listing date with Alison. Getting ready didn’t take as long as we thought, so we told her that if she had any in house prospects, she was welcome to bring them by. Surprise, surprise, one showing and we had a full price cash offer! The sales process has been very smooth. Alison is open, outgoing, perceptive, warm, intelligent, and knows the market. We would highly recommend her for your real estate needs." - Nancy R.
"I don't know if I have enough kind words to describe how wonderful it is to work with Alison Stottlemyer. She was fully invested in me and my search for a new home in Sarasota. As I am moving from another state she and I had multiple discussions, prior to my arrival, to check out the properties in the area. She worked late into the night to accomplish the task of finding my new home. She also took as much pride and joy as I when I found my new place. After I left to return to my current residence she continued to work tirelessly taking it upon herself to find roofing estimates for minor repairs and even personally dropping off my application for the new HOA. You will not be disappointed by Alison. She definitely goes the extra mile. Consider yourself very fortunate to have Alison as your realtor." - Judy H.
"To say Alison went "above and beyond" would be an understatement. From the staging, marketing, follow-up with prospective buyers, constant communication with us, checking on the house and meeting with various third parties after we moved out of state, she was exceptionally resourceful and helpful. What could have been a very stressful process for us was honestly seamless thanks to her involvement. It honestly felt like we we were her only client even though we knew she had many others she was helping at the same time. Her market expertise was spot on and her deep connection in the community and with many local contacts made a big difference as well in ensuring we had steady interest, despite going through two major hurricanes during the listing process! Plus I truly believe that her sunny personality, kindness and honesty encouraged potential buyers and agents to want to work with her. All around a great experience and we are so thankful she got our house sold for a good price and within our desired timeframe!" - Leanne M.
"Saying goodbye to our childhood home was an emotionally difficult process and Alison was a gift from above to help our family navigate each tough step. An intuitive communicator, Alison patiently waited for our right timing, then swiftly guided us toward every best next move. We were inspired by the unexpected artistry of the experience. Who knew real estate could be such an art form! Alison wisely highlighted our property’s best qualities with effective branding, vivid descriptions, and creative, detail-oriented focus. Our property was owned by four people, so Alison needed to collaboratively support the whole through inevitable problems while getting us to the finish line. Her integrity, real estate knowledge, extensive local network, and experience were of critical necessity to the success of our first offer becoming our best and final. Thanks Alison, for sharing your talents with our crazy crew. We are forever grateful!" - Jodi M.

Alison's guidance helped us make informed decisions throughout the process. What truly sets Alison apart is her exceptional communication skills. She was always available to answer any questions, address any concerns, and provide regular updates. Her promptness in responding to emails, calls, and texts demonstrated her commitment to keeping us informed every step of the way. Alison's attention to detail is remarkable, taking time to understand our preferences, needs, and budget, and meticulously curating a list of properties that matched our criteria was amazing. Alison also has a keen eye for spotting both the potential and flaws of a property which was invaluable during our house tours. We truly felt that Alison had our best interests at heart, guiding us towards the right home rather than just closing a deal.
Finally, Alison's network of professionals, including mortgage brokers, home inspectors, and lawyers, was top-notch. She provided recommendations for reliable and trustworthy service providers, which made the entire home buying process seamless and stress-free. Overall, we cannot recommend Alison highly enough.

"My husband’s job brought us to Florida. Having lived in Iowa our whole lives, it was a completely new adventure for us and completely daunting. We knew no one and nothing about the area. Alison took us under her wing, answered all of our questions, really listened to our needs/wants, and drove us all over various towns.
Having lived here for years, she is a wealth of information, most importantly, honest and if she didn’t know an answer, responded quickly with an answer! She is so dang efficient and forthcoming with information. I absolutely love her! Alison is involved in her community and is always giving back, just another reason to love her! I can’t recommend her enough for all of your realtor needs!" - Julia H.

"I cannot say enough good things about Alison. We worked with her during the sale of our home in summer/fall of 2022. We initially thought our home would sell quickly, but the combination of a changing market and lots of plot twists with buyers made it a more complicated process than we anticipated. Through it all, Alison remained positive and always had solutions. We felt as though we were her only clients, though I am sure she was quite busy with others as well. She always went to bat for us in negotiations and gave us good advice. When the house sold, it was so bittersweet to say goodbye, as we feel we had even made a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone selling their home in Sarasota!" - Angelina S.
"Of course Alison is a real dynamo and is extremely professional But what really impressed me was her reliability and dependability. She could be counted on to help my husband and myself accomplish all the myriad tasks and complicated coordination that is involved in selling a home and buying a new one. She was spot-on with all her recommendations and numbers. We felt nothing was left undone. Alison was right there with us with referrals for other professionals or to attend a meeting. We knew we were not her biggest client, but she made us feel as if we were." - Florey M.
"Alison Stottlemyer is simply an outstanding real estate agent!. Her excellence as a realtor is evident in every facet of the home buying and selling process. My wife and I recently sold two properties to purchase our dream home and Alison was paramount to it. From start to finish she was communicative, transparent, prompt and facilitated every in person interaction and subsequent transactions in a most professional and courteous manner. As her clients, she seemingly catered to our every want and need and made the often daunting challenges of buying and selling a home the best of experiences. We could not be happier! We will always recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property here in Sarasota or anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. Thank you Alison for everything you've done to give us a home we love!

"My wife and I recently relocated to Sarasota from Chicago with our son. Alison helped us get to know Sarasota, learn the neighborhoods, and had recommendations for everything from the best parks for toddlers to contractors for renovations. She’s a one-stop-shop for relocation because she gets to know you and what you want, then knows exactly where to find it.
We are going through an epic market rush at the moment and Alison always made time to squeeze us into “it just popped up!” showings. Alison is personable, friendly, the utmost professional and overall is just an amazing person to work with. When we found our dream house she transformed into a hard-hitting negotiator and landed us awesome deal. I have no idea what magic she worked, but I’m so grateful to have had her in our corner. You could not find a better realtor to work with in the Sarasota area!" - Mark M.
"Extensive knowledge of the area and market values. Alison gave us honest feedback and helped us at every turn. She communicated with us keeping us in the loop no matter what the news. She gave us great advice on staging the home and used technology to help market us in the COVID- orld.We were under contract in less than 3 days and closed on the sale in less than a month. We were very happy and grateful to have such a positive experience and it took a huge weight off our shoulders. Alison is a breath of fresh air and looking for what is best for her client." - Adrienne D.
