We had a fantastic experience working with Lori Bollinger of Michael Saunders & Company! After several years of seasonal renting and exploring Florida, we decided that a master-planned community—specifically Lakewood Ranch—was the right fit for our retirement. We first met Lori during that process, and when we were ready to buy, she was an invaluable guide. She helped us understand the different villages, amenities, and locations, making sure we considered everything important to us—proximity to shopping, beaches, the airport, and healthcare. Lori navigated a shifting market, negotiated a fair price, and handled inspections, a virtual walkthrough, and closing while we remained in NJ. Her knowledge, dedication, and local connections made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We’re thrilled with our new home and highly recommend Lori!

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!

Moved from SC to FL the end of October 2021. Knew of Michael Saunders & Company from many years ago and chose them to help us look for our next home in Lakewood Ranch. I worked as a Realtor for a time in upstate NY before retiring. We linked up with Lori and we found her to be friendly (and fun to be with!) professional, highly capable, experienced, she listened carefully and researched constantly for us, and worked tirelessly to find us a home in a very stressful, competitive housing market. She knows Lakewood Ranch and surrounding developments well. She was always helpful in pointing out things on property visits with us, helping us to weigh various aspects. Her communications were prompt, and her actions commendably proactive---Lori reviewed a particular property in MLS minutes after it went public, and she immediately booked a visit with us before we knew of this listing and before hearing from us if we wanted to see it. Her instincts and experience proved right, as we liked the neighborhood, street, and house, and we were fortunate to wind up purchasing that property. It's a jungle out there for buyers at present, and Lori managed to find us a home and secure a contract for us in a little over 2 weeks. We are happy to recommend her to others without reservation!

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Lori Bollinger as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. This is our second home buying experience with Lori. She managed to sell our last house, which she helped buy 4 years ago, for an excellent price, in 2 days. Lori knows Lakewood Ranch and surrounding areas like the back of her hand. This time around we decided on a new construction home in the Lake Club. New construction is challenging because the builder is in complete control of the state of the house right up until closing. And where communication was lacking, Lori was diligent on relaying questions and getting answers. She also has a sharp eye during walkthroughs looking for pitfalls and flaws that the builder may have missed. Lori is a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She is also highly personable with an engaging personality. We are pleased to recommend Lori and her team at Michael Saunders to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is hands down the best in the business in my opinion and if we ever need to move again, she will definitely be our first choice!
