Our experience working with Lori was exceptional, and the team at Michael Saunders was, too. We shopped intensely for two days in person and made our final selection on the 3rd day. Negotiations went smoothly as did everything after we agreed to a deal. We closed remotely a day ahead of when we were originally scheduled to. Lori was accessible throughout the process. The technology platform & in house title services were an added benefit. Lori gave great recommendations on small & large details. We really appreciated working with her.

We had a fantastic experience working with Lori Bollinger of Michael Saunders & Company! Over the past several years, we had been seasonally renting and exploring different areas of Florida before deciding that a master-planned community—specifically Lakewood Ranch—would be the perfect fit for our retirement. We first connected with Lori during that process, and she provided a great introductory tour and helped us with seasonal rentals. When we decided this year to take the leap and purchase a home, Lori was an invaluable guide. As you know Lakewood Ranch offers many villages, price points, and amenities, and we quickly realized there was a lot to consider. Lori did an excellent job helping us understand the character of each village and how it aligned with our lifestyle. She made sure we fully understood everything—from amenities and HOA options to location within Lakewood Ranch, including proximity to shopping, beaches, the airport, healthcare, and anything else important to us in the Sarasota area. She guided us through the process, navigated a shifting market, and negotiated a fair price. Lori also coordinated inspections, handled a virtual walkthrough, and ensured a smooth closing while we remained in NJ. Her knowledge, dedication, and strong local connections made the entire process easy. We’re thrilled with our new home in and highly recommend Lori!

Lori did a great job as my buyer's agent. She not only took point with the usual steps in the process but provided extra help and information as I was moving to FL from another state. She went above and beyond and was an absolute pleasure to work with!

Lori was tremendously helpful with guiding us through our first home buying process. She made sure we were comfortable and educated every step of the way, and helped our family buy a dream first house in Lakewood Ranch!

I have bought and sold several houses in my lifetime and have had many experiences with realtors, ranging from excellent to very bad. Lori Bollinger, with Michael Saunders & Co. is without a doubt the BEST realtor I have ever dealt with, bar none. I recently moved to Florida from Oregon. Any move is stressful, but moving from out of state is off the charts! However, Lori made the home buying process practically stress free! First, we met over the phone to discuss my must haves, my would like to haves, and the general area where I wanted to be. She spent a lot of time getting to know me and what I wanted. When I flew into the area to house hunt, because she has such such extensive knowledge of the area and the real estate market, she was able to show me only homes that exactly fit these requirements. No wasted time! We spent a few days together looking at areas of the city, and then the specific homes that she chose for me. She was really excellent about pointing out things that I wasn’t seeing. I tend to get excited about one thing, and then overlook other things, so having somebody point things out was huge. She is going for the long term relationship, never just the sale and that is obvious. She is super responsive and always answers her texts and messages very quickly so you’re never left hanging. Also, Lori is extremely detailed oriented and takes fabulous notes! Being a person that is not that way, it was really a lifesaver for me because she had information I was looking for during the buying process at the tip of her fingers, when I couldn’t find it at all. As a side note, her notetaking and attention to the detail is the only reason I have a brand new beautiful and FREE golf cart sitting in my garage! My builder had a promo going that I was right on the cusp of, but they told Lori I would get a free golf cart if I signed by a certain date. Due to delays by the builder, they tried to wiggle out of it. But because Lori took such good notes when she met with the builder prior to my arrival, she was able to prove what they told her and so I got the golf cart! That would’ve never happened without her! Lori was at every inspection, and every walk thru and appointment with the builder even when she didn’t need to be. She also helped me find home insurance in Florida, and a mortgage brokers she trusts, proof she goes above and beyond! She also gave me an education about homeownership in Florida, which is completely different from other states due to various laws etc and also the humid weather. Because I am from out of town and don’t know the area, she gave me a lot of good information so that when I arrived, I could hit the ground running to get everything set up that I needed to do. I just can’t say enough about this realtor. There are numerous decisions to make, when moving and buying a new home. The smartest one you can make, in your in whole homebuying process, is to choose Lori Bollinger of Michel Sanders as your realtor. She is literally the best I have ever used and you will not regret it!

Lori Bollinger is the absolute best! We have used her for several transactions and couldn’t be happier. She’s knowledgeable, a problem solver and keeps cool in all situations. Lori has made the sometimes stressful process of purchasing a home as easy as possible and we recommend her highly.

Lori was amazing with helping us to find the perfect rental property. We love having her as part of our team. She is resourceful, efficient and cares about her clients. I would recommend her highly to anyone.
