We wanted to share how wonderful it was to work with Realtors Diane Fogo-Harter and Kathy Barrie on the purchase of our new home in Bradenton. We spent several years planning our move from Illinois. During our house-hunting trips, Kathy and Diane showed us various neighborhoods around Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and Sarasota to help us make an informed decision. When our Illinois home sold in just three days, they quickly helped us prepare for our buying trip in early May. By the time we arrived, they had already researched properties, helped me secure home insurance quotes, helped me to arrange a roofer for inspections and handled numerous other details. Diane accompanied us during the May trip, patiently showing us each property. Once we made our decision, she did everything possible to move the process forward, negotiating with a difficult seller and managing every detail seamlessly. Despite the challenge of us being out of town in a different time zone, she ensured everything progressed smoothly and even completed a virtual final walk-through with Kathy via FaceTime prior to closing. We cannot say enough about how terrific it was to work with Diane and Kathy. They are more than Realtors to us—they have become friends. In addition, working with the Michael Saunders in-house MSC Mortgage and MSC Title teams made the process seamless. Matt Lambert, Kimberly Shank, and Kimberly Maiello were incredibly attentive and great to work with throughout the purchase.

I have worked with Diane on several purchases and sales of homes in Lakewood Ranch. She really understands this market. Her pricing estimates are spot on and she is very responsice to any and all communication during the sales process. She is a pro.

Diane is the consummate professional and champion in her field. She has a passion for providing excellence for her customers and make sure she aligns them with quality resources in the community to make the real estate transaction process as smooth as possible.

Diane is thoroughly professional and always acts in the best interests of her clients. Her experience with new and resale homes shows in her due diligence, knowing the importance of independent, licensed home inspectors who work for her clients, not the insurance companies and builders. She was a key factor in my daughter's home purchase.
