We first met Bob Stobaugh through our good friend Dr. Carlos Rodriguez of SMH/First Physicians Group in Sarasota. Carlos first worked with Bob in 2016 when he bought his first home in Sarasota. He has worked with Bob on several additional home purchases since, he highly recommended that we use Bob to help us with the PURCHASE of our new home in Venice in June of 2023. Just a few months after closing, due to a change back to Private Practice in the fall of 2023, we needed to sell our Venice home and move back closer to my new practice location in Lakewood Ranch. We again called on Bob to now help us SELL our home. Bob did his homework, guided by our desire to not lose money with our limited time of ownership. We set a strategy, ran the numbers and listed our home in Late January 2024. During the current Florida Buyers Market, with his expert marketing and finance advice, we were able to negotiate the sale of our home - in 9 days - above our price goal. WE appreciate Bobs' professionalism and relational approach to Real Estate. If you are seeking to buy or sell Florida Real Estate, both my wife Marina and I highly recommend using Bob Stobaugh. He will use a consultative approach, create with you a winning strategy, and treat you like family. Sincerely, Eduardo Aguin MD & Marina TabolinaEduardo Aguin
