What do Clients Say?

My wife Bibsy and I had the most wonderful experience working with Fondren to purchase our home in Lakewood Ranch. Having spent her whole life in the Sarasota area, Fondren knew so much about every section of Greater Sarasota, and so many contacts. We've bought and sold over 30 pieces of property over the years and Fondren, by far, is the best realtor with whom we've worked. She is insightful, thorough and intuitive to the market and all its' variables. If we could choose 6 stars we would

John & Bibsy O.

We had an excellent experience with Fondren. She is native to Sarasota with extensive knowledge and relationships in the area. That was a huge help as we decided on the right areas to look for a new home. She was very engaged, but also patient as we searched for just the right one for us, and walked us all the way through to the closing. We will definitely work with her again.
