Gary Edelen has been our Realtor and friend since he worked with us to purchase our first property in Sarasota County 6 years ago. That same year he assisted a family member with their home purchase, and now he has gone the extra mile(s) to manage the complicated purchase of our most recent home. He will also be handling the sale of our current property. His decades of experience, his extensive knowledge of not only the locale, but the history of properties in and around the Sarasota area, his knowledge of the construction norms, legalities and all things related to the buying and selling of properties in south central Florida is invaluable and seldom equaled. Mr. Edelen goes above and beyond to assist his Clients in any possible way throughout the property buying/selling process. He is always available to take a phone call or respond to a question or concern. He never fails to return messages promptly, and keeps his Clients advised of each step in a property purchasing process. You always know what is expected of you and others along the way to purchase and closing. Gary is personable, friendly and professional. We would never consider property shopping without his assistance and support.
