Happy Clients

Mike Payne is hands down one of the best real estate agents you will come across in Sarasota. He has helped my family not with just the purchase of our home but another family member’s home as well. He has gone above and beyond what any realtor would do for a client.

He is kind, intelligent, honest, trustworthy and professional. Just an all around good person. As a long term resident of Sarasota and former teacher he wasable to give us a lot of insight into area schools and neighborhoods as well. This is such a huge help when moving your family from another state or city.

What could have been an extremely stressful experience was instead very positive. To anyone considering purchasing a home in Sarasota, do yourself a favor and contact Mike Payne. We are so very thankful for Mike & Sarasota Lifestyle.
