Sheila Meeks's strong negotiation skills and resolve were instrumental in ensuring a quick sale and a closing date on our timeline. Sheila was always available and responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had during the sale of our home. A big thanks to Sheila and all the staff in Punta Gorda!
I contacted several brokers when my wife and I wanted to buy the condominium of our dreams. Sheila Meeks phoned me within 5 minutes; the call was followed up with several interesting listings. I knew she was the right person and she found the condo we were hoping for. There was constant contact from her throughout the whole process; she lined up everything from inspectors to insurance. Her wonderful service was way beyond anything I have experienced with a realtor before. If I ever have the need, I will come back to Sheila for my real estate needs.
We informed Sheila that we were looking for a place to call our own as snowbirds. She guided us through all the paperwork and processes that new home owners go through and made it all understandable. When we had to return to our home state, she continued to work with us to close the deal on our winter home. I know that sometimes new owners can be nervous and worrisome but her assurances and help in everything gave us the feeling that we were being taken care of right. We trust Sheila and would be glad to refer her.
From day one, you made it your goal to help us find what we were looking for, constantly e-mailing properties that you felt matched what we wanted (and they did!), setting up appointments on short notice and just providing the friendly service that is often hard to find these days. You were extremely patient, always smiling and willing to help in any way possible. Anytime I or anyone I talk to is in need of buying or selling a house, I'm DEFINITELY sending them to you.
John and I wanted to thank you for all your help in buying our home. It was a difficult purchase for us to understand due to it being a lease to own agreement. You made certain we understood all the language, our rights, the sellers’ rights and obligations. Most importantly, you calmed us when the co-broker totally confused us with his fast double talk. We are forever grateful and plan to pass on your name to any friends or neighbors. You are an asset to Michael Saunders & Company.
A few years ago my wife and I were looking for a place in the Punta Gorda area to spend some time at in the cooler months. Sheila was easy to get a hold of and very aware of what was available that would meet our requirements. She found us a beautiful condo right on Charlotte harbor. She offered service far beyond our expectations. She worked with us on the bargaining process one night until 9:00. As fate would have it, we just were not able to spend the amount of time in Florida that we had hoped for. We have a family business that is growing. It just isn't the right time to get away. We decided to sell the condo. Sheila was the obvious choice. She gave us a fair estimate of what it was worth. We got many showings quite quickly. She always updated us on each showing. Soon enough we had a buyer for the condo. She was spot on with the value of our home. We had a few inspection issues with the unit. It got a little complicated. Sheila advised us every step of the way on how to take care of each issue. She was trying to keep the cost reasonable for us while doing the right thing for the new owner. I can't say enough about how confident we are in her abilities. So, whether you are buying or selling we highly recommend Sheila.
We worked with Sheila Meeks regarding the purchase of a condo. In these turbulent times of change, regulations, compliance, conversions, expansions, etc., people seem to be walking the thin line which divides confusion and confidence. From the beginning she seemed to stand alone as one always patient, knowledgeable, and in possession of the skills necessary to communicate to others the procedures required to satisfy the demands of the endless paperwork. At no time during the purchase process did we feel alone. We would not hesitate to enlist her services again.
Shelia was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her services, especially if you are relocating. She was so patient with us trying to decide what type of home we actually wanted for our retirement and what location. She worked with us a year before we actually bought, showing us all around Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, helping us narrow down our search. Her knowledge of the area and advice were very helpful in our decision making. When we narrowed down our area and I flew into town to view properties she lined up all the showings I requested and spent time with me at each property. When it came time to make an offer she helped me line up financing, the house inspection and all the details. She was always a pleasure to work with.
We recently sold our home and purchased a new home with Sheila Meeks. It was due to her hard work, diligence and knowledge of her profession that we were able to close on our existing home and purchase a new one. I would recommend Sheila and Michael Saunders & Company to anyone needing an agent. She made the experience a pleasure and was great to work with.
Sheila made us feel welcomed to Punta Gorda by assisting us with our property needs; as well as recommending lodging, restaurants, and local attractions. She made us feel as if we were her top priority and her only client. Sheila is a great ambassador for Punta Gorda and an asset to your company. We look forward to a long relationship with Sheila as well as Michael Saunders & Company.
Larry and I want to thank Sheila for sticking with us. We started in 2012 looking for a small place to call our own as snowbirds. For 2 years we stayed in touch and whenever we were in Florida (Port Charlotte) and wanted to look around we contacted Sheila, told her what we wanted and she always accommodated our wishes. Our most recent success was when we purchased our home this past August. Sheila guided us through all the paperwork and processes that new home owners have to go through and made it all understandable. Then, when we had to return to our home state shortly after, she continued to work with us long distance and "electronically" to close the deal on our winter home. She completed the final walk-through before closing, took pictures of the home, and gave us all the names and numbers of contacts in Florida for us to take ownership. I know that sometimes new owners can be nervous and worrisome but her assurances and help in everything gave us the feeling that we were being taken care of right. We trust Sheila with our new home and were glad that a friend of ours referred us to her. We would be glad to do the same and refer Sheila for any interested homeowners!
Buying a house in a State that is not familiar and far from family and friends is stressful but not with Sheila Meeks as your guide. My husband and I had that 'feel good' feeling from the first hello. Sheila is the probably one of the most professional and astute Realtors I have ever met. She spent hours finding out what we wanted and needed and she made every moment count. I recommend her to my friends and family now and suggest they pass her information on to their friends. She made looking for a house very enjoyable and I would like think she sets a very high benchmark for all realtors.
