Kathleen was very easy to talk to and gave good advise on the area I was interested in. She was ready to gather any information she could to help me.

My initial contact with Kathleen, along with two other Sarasota real estate brokers, was in response to an online inquiry I made regarding condo units in the Sarasota area. Kathleen was the first to respond and, based on her biography, I knew she would be more than just a tour guide for me. I was right! She was very professional, detail orientated, reliable, trustworthy and her follow up was outstanding. After two mornings of viewing properties Kathleen helped me negotiate a favorable purchase of my first choice property. My wife and I are very happy with our new vacation property and very appreciative to Kathleen for her help in making it happen.

I had to find a new home and move quickly. Kathleen was absolutely wonderful! She understood just what I needed and wanted and provided a selection that fit me perfectly. We found the right place on the first tour and then spent some time to make sure the offer was right. Her recommendations for an attorney and inspection company were right on and I am grateful for her professionalism and that she really cares! I highly recommend her.

Kathleen did an excellent job helping us select our new condo. We had a short period of time in the area to preview condos. When we arrived, she had selected a good variety of properties based on our needs. Because of her professionalism and efficiency, we were able to quickly decide on a property that met our needs. Kathleen and her team did an excellent job in all phases of the purchase and closing process. We would highly recommend Kathleen for anyone looking to buy property in the area.

The property would have been just right if it would have been on the main floor. I can't do stairs. They didn't know that. They have been very good to me. Thank you

The first time I used Kathleen Comerford was 4 years ago when I moved to North Venice. Unlike other realtors, I found that she listened to my needs, did not waste my time showing me properties I had no interest in and most of all her knowledge of the area both price-wise and style-wise was excellent. We found just what I was looking for and it was within the budget I had given her, Naturally, when I was ready to sell I went right back to Kathleen and again she did not disappoint. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Sarasota

When my husband and I were searching for our future home in Florida, we selected Kathleen from among the rest of the real estate agents we saw on line. She stood out from the rest due to her responsiveness and professionalism. Kathleen Comerford helped us identify what we wanted in our future home. Kathleen was professional in all aspects. She listened to our needs, asked questions of the sellers in a manner to protect our interests and to ensure we had answers to things that we did not think about at that time. She was very attentive to our needs. Our visit was terrific and we bought a home due to Kathleen's ability to help find us the perfect home. Since that visit, we have had questions about all different things regarding assistance with relocation, places to live if our home sells before the new home is built, assistance with locating a realtor in the east for the sale of our home, etc. Kathleen continued to assist us with our questions regarding our purchase and our relocation to Florida. We have forwarded Kathleen's name on to people we know in New England who are also looking for property in Florida. And, we are not ones to refer people unless we believe 100% that this person can do the best job for them!! Kathleen is an absolute professional in this field and goes above and beyond for excellent service. We stongly recommend her if you are looking to buy a home, selling your home or, as in our case, are also relocating.

All went very smoothly! From etiquette to professionalism, answering questions and explaining procedures. Listing the house was easy enough. But I did not realize that Kathleen's and her team's involvement involvement would be so extensive. Very impressive! Anyone looking for an experienced and effective real estate team can count on the Comerford Group. My place sold quickly and smoothly -- a testimony of reliability!

We feel fortunate to have had Kathleen Comerford as our Realtor when we decided to move from Delaware to Florida. We found her very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She was always calm and patient with us as our house-hunting got under way. We valued her advice and expertise. She also has a great sense for style which we found very helpful. With Kathleen's guidance we found a lovely home in a great community. We would recommend her to our friends and use her again if it ever became necessary.

Kathleen is one in a million! We had been in search of a 2nd home/vacation property in the Sarasota area for over 5 years. We stumbled onto Kathleen through an on-line inquiry, and are so grateful we did. She is not only professional and proficient in her job but such a pleasant person to spend time with. Her knowledge of the Real Estate market is tremendous and it was obvious to us from the start, responding within minutes to an inquiry on a Sunday evening, that she would do what it took to find us our vacation home. We traveled from a distance as many do while searching for P/T residence, viewing several properties, she made that process quick, effective and enjoyable. I don't know how she does it with her work load but Kathleen has a special way about her that makes you feel as though you are her top priority -- she is a rare find!! JULIE & PAUL G.

Kathleen was a big help to me in investigating real estate possibilities in Sarasota. She was responsive and helpful even when she knew I probably would not be purchasing in the near future. She treated me as if I was her most important client. So, if I do decide to purchase in Sarasota she will be my only Realtor. A current Jacksonville resident.

Kathleen is an amazing Realtor and businesswoman. I know we wouldn't be in our beautiful new home if it wasn't for her keen ability and knowledge of how the banking industry works. She is very professional but courteous and friendly and she really cares about the people she is working with. Her team is amazing! I highly recommend Kathleen -- she is an excellent Realtor.

It was so unexpected that we could find someone with a real understanding of investment property and the financials surrounding a solid venture. Due to her formal education and her comprehension of the value to expense our investment is giving a great return for the dollar.

From the very first time we met, it was easy dealing and speaking with Kathleen. She explained things about the house well and was not "pushy" as some sales people can be. When I had questions, she answered them or found out the answer and did not keep me waiting for long. Thus her follow-up was excellent. When we negotiated on things she was precise and accurate. It was a great and easy transition for me from initially looking at the house to ultimately purchasing it.

Kathleen is the most patient, professional and organized real estate broker I have ever worked with. Our closing may have been the longest in history!

Thank you Kathleen, we owe you an enormous debt of gratitude and will definitely be buying more properties with your help in future!

From our first contact with Kathleen it was clear she showed dedication to our needs and commitment to her craft. Our entire transaction was conducted via email. Even though our purchase was small we received million dollar service. Even though email seems impersonal she made us feel connected and valued.

I'd been vacationing in Anna Maria and very much wanted to find a permanent property there. After much research on the web I found Kathleen, she had very good credentials and although was not located in that area, (she was in Sarasota and was looking in Mantee) was impressed with what I saw and decided to contact her. For a year and a half we communicated on line and saw many properties in and around Anna Maria and Sarasota , just to be sure we were making the right decision. Evertually we decided on Anna Maria as our destination, and saw in excess of 30 properties on the island. Kathleen was very patient and very informative about the market etc. We made an initial bid on a property, but after the survey and with communication with Kathleen decided to decline on the offer. In December a property I had initially seen at an open house came up for sale again, after 2 offers had fallen threw. We made an offer at their price, but they were reluctant to not take a cash purchase, we had the money and financing and with Kathleen's advice we entered into negotiations , after much tooing and Froing Kathleen finally came to an agreement and we proceeded . It was a hard 2 months as the seller was not cooperative, and their agents were less than accomadating. Finally . Thanks to Kathleen's expertise and Knowledge of the market we were finally able to purchase our dream property. Thanks Kathleen, you are an expert at what you do and you have amazing contacts to make it happen.

It was such a pleasure meeting and dealing with Kathleen, she's professional yet relaxed and very warm & friendly. We were searching for our piece of paradise on Siesta Key, an investment property which would also serve as a place for us to unwind during the quieter times. With our limited budget, Kathleen was able to help us find just that and we're very happy to say that with some TLC and new "beachy" furnishings & touches, the condo has been renting very well. Not only were we fortunate enough to deal with Kathleen, but she also referred us to a wonderful Legal firm for our closing and their help was invaluable to us. If we're lucky enough to eventually be looking for a second rental property, we'll surely be eager to have Kathleen help us again. Thanks again for everything!

Kathleen was quick to pick up on who we were and what we might like to see. She took the time to take us to see some neighborhoods currently building new homes. Based upon what we saw and Kathleen's guidance, we plan to reverse our original idea and live in Florida and "summer" in Maine instead! We enjoyed working with her and look forward to a continued relationship and finding a home in Florida.

Kathleen is an exception to the Real Estate business. Most Realtors do not have a clear vision as to how to successfuly market their Seller's property. Her innovation, dedication and professionalism was an asset to our successful sale and her follow up through closing gave us such peace of mind.

Kathleen Comerford is the most knowledgeable, conscientious, efficient, customer-focused, trustworthy and reasonable real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Based on an opening discussion of our needs, Kathleen did a lot of work up-front to maximize the use of my time on the ground looking for our new Florida home. Once the ideal home was found, Kathleen did much more than I had expected to get the deal closed while consuming the least amount of my personal time. I highly recommend Kathleen Comerford as a real estate professional if you are looking for a home in the Venice/Sarasota/Bradenton area. I know she will do an excellent job helping you find the home that completely fits your lifestyle.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the purchase of 2 homes about 5 years apart with the help of Kathleen. She is professional, honest, creative and very knowledgeable about all the steps involved. If issues arise, she has incredible experience for resolutions. I highly recommend her if you are looking to buy or sell. Brittany is a superb assistant throughout the whole process, too. I’m using her when we sell next, too!

My experience with Kathleen Comerford has spanned over 5 years, I trust her judgment and look to her for suggestions. I was asked to like her new company, she did not need to ask me I would volunteer to do so to anyone. Very down to earth person, genuine, does return phone calls. Very glad to have found her, to sell, buy and advise on where to turn to for many things, outside of real estate. I highly recommend her and her knowledge. Also has a very capable assistant, Brittany.

Kathleen and her team, Brittany and Tammi, made the sale of our family condo as easy as possible. Selling a property from a distance, such as ours was, can be very difficult.

I have worked with Kathleen since January 2017, searching for a second home in Florida. What a wonderful experience I had working with her! She took all the stress out of finding the perfect house to meet the needs of my family. She was with me every step of the way from looking at listings, finding the right house and assisting me in the final offer to purchase the home. During the closing process she provided me with all the important contacts and help me and my providers stay on top of so many important and, at time, urgent details. We actually closed at the end of April which was two weeks early. Kathleen has a wonderful work ethic and communication style. She has been a tremendous resource to me and provided me with a lot of information to help me settled into my new home. I would recommend Kathleen to help you find the perfect home in the Sarasota area. She was great!

Kathleen is an exceptional realtor. After listing our property without success for over a year with another agent, Kathleen used her great knowledge, resources and effort to find a buyer at the price we wanted. She was able to help resolve a problem with the title on our inherited property through her network of professionals in the area and she attended to every detail so that there were no surprises at closing. I have bought and sold several properties and have never dealt with a more professional or effective agent. I would highly recommend Kathleen for anyone's real estate needs.

Hello. My name is Shea R. Wolf. I am a local college student and I reached out to Kathleen for help on a conceptual construction project that I was working on for my Construction Documents class at Everglades University in Sarasota where I am working to obtain my BS with a major in Construction Management. I needed information on a piece of property and could not seem to find what I needed. After Googling for way longer than I thought it should take, I came upon a site that directed me toward Kathleen. After I explained to her who I was and what I needed she said that she could help. And what a help she was. she provided all the information I needed to finish my project. Thanks, in large part, to her efforts I received an "A". She was extremely helpful and highly knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property in this area.

I can not recommend Kathleen highly enough. She was great! When any questions came up, Kathleen was always there. When an issue came up that did not pertain to her even several months after my sale, she was quick to help and was able to resolve the problem. I always felt I was her number one priority! She did a great job selling my condo and for our asking price.

I was extremely impressed with Kathleen her team's professional expertise and personal assistance. I have been in the real estate business on the finance side for almost forty years and have experienced every level of service in that time. I received excellent service throughout the process and am happy to recommend Kathleen and the Comerford Group for any real estate services you may require.
