"We worked with Michael Ballantyne to sell our house in Sarasota and he was outstanding. If I could add a sixth or seventh star I definitely would do so! Before we met Michael we have been trying to sell our house for over a year and we were concerned if we ever could sell this property. Michael made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors® don't, like fixing things we didn't see before, having professional photographs taken, a 3D walkthrough presentation, and a lot more. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and our house was sold on the third day on the market for the price we asked. Michael walked us through every step of the closing process and came with us to the closing, it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. And therefore, when I was looking for a new investment I asked for Michael's help again. He found a few options and it was much fun scouting with him several possibilities. Eventually, we settled on a beautiful property next to the shore in Sarasota. Michael went out of his way to help, was always there for me when I needed advice, always cheerful and patient. I have recommended Michael Ballantyne to everyone I know. He's a true professional, efficient, always helpful, and kind. It would be challenging to find a better Realtor®. Whenever I'll have the next opportunity I definitely will work with Michael again."

"Michael͏ Ballantyne is one of a kind! He is very knowledgeable in his field and he is a great listener Michael was amazing from the beginning to the end! He was prepared with several listings that met our criteria each time we met. Answered numerous questions at various times of the day/night. Most importantly, for every call or meeting, he devoted his time 100 percent to us! We never felt rushed. As we were touring multiple listings, Michael was favorably known by other agents. He has a stellar reputation that has been rightfully earned. My husband and I most appreciated his expertise that guided our decision to buy a home in Florida without imposing his own desires on us to make a sale. Everyone should be so fortunate to have Michael Ballantyne by their side when buying a home!"
