Kathy is the most professional hardworking caring knowledgeable realestate person we have ever worked with. Truly an exceptional home buying experience. We highly recommend.
We connected with Kathy via a recommendation from trusted friends. We are so glad we did! We really didn't have an area in Sarasota County pinned down and Kathy graciously and patiently showed us properties from Bradenton to Venice. We conducted much of our search from our home in New York and she was wonderful about previewing neighborhoods and properties for us. Her knowledge about the market process was second only to the personalized service she provided throughout the buying process. We bought a modest condo, but we feel as though Kathy treated us the same way she would a luxury market buyer. I expect that some of the guests we will have visit will be interested in purchasing property here and we will recommend Kathy and Michael Saunders in a heartbeat. She is truly a gem and an outstanding representative for your firm!

Bill visited Kathy at one of her open houses for her Foothills listing she was hosting & after a short conversation he invited her to come over to our house to see why it isn't selling after being listed with the same broker for several weeks ! After a few more conversations & a formal lisitng appointment we released our other agent we weren't happy with & hired Kathy to list & sell our home .....& the rest is history , what a great experience for all of us & we had so much fun preparing the home for my big breakfast agent tour, open houses, & then a lovely Tucson couple walked into Kathy's last open house & just had to have this beautiful gem of a home !! Kathy performed all of her fiduciary duties well above normal expectations , she also assisted the buyers in purchasing some items we wished to sell, found nice homes for our plants etc...We really missed her help here on our last purchase here in Oro Valley ! We highly reccommend Kathy to help anyone buy or sell a home anywhere " she's the Best " Susan & Bill Daughtery
She is hands-down the best, most personable, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and dedicated real estate professional we have ever worked with and we have worked with many through the years. Her ability to achieve results with friendliness and a smile is a huge asset and she shines a beautiful and positive light on Michael Saunders & Company. We are happy to recommend Kathy and Michael Saunders & Company to anyone without reservation and we have already done so.
Kathy and Todd are everything you could hope for in your real estate agent. I genuinely appreciated their market knowledge, marketing savvy and on point communications. If your looking for a strong partnership with an agent who will be there at every step in the process with the expertise and connections to navigate a complex transaction, Kathy is most certainly a top choice.
Kathy is the most attentive agent who goes above and beyond to help you buy or sell your home! We are still looking for the perfect home but I know she will be the one to find it for us. She is very knowledgeable and professional and so personable as well!
Kathy was instrumental in our very first home purchase and sale. We chose Kathy to help us after a personal referral. We trusted Kathy implicitly with all of our real estate needs, she assisted us with whatever we needed.
Kathy and Todd were terrific in helping us sell our house. They were always available to answer our questions and took care of all details in the sale guiding us through the entire process. Their marketing of our property was way above anything we expected. They were professional in every way always keeping us informed. We would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.
Kathy is a great choice for any real estate transaction in the Sarasota area. We experienced her seamless attention to detail and great communication throughout our purchase. Kathy is a pro in every aspect of the process and a great advisor. We highly recommended working with Kathy. Such a nice person too!
We wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we enjoyed working with Kathy, she did an amazing job with the marketing and selling of our home at 581 Birdie Lane! She priced it and sold it for more than we thought was ever possible. She was very good at communicating with us at every stage of the process and aggressive at making sure that we did everything that we needed to do as sellers. She was great at pushing everything along but in a good positive way. She had a contract in just a few days at full price and with a cash backup offer! The whole process went very smoothly and was very quick. Your company has a great reputation and in our opinion, Realtors like Kathy are one of the reasons why! We are now working with Kathy on the purchase of our new home in Lakewood Ranch and look forward to another seamless process!
We absolutely love Kathy and Todd Callahan . They are exceptional realtors who provide excellent service in purchasing your dream home!! They are experts knowing everything about Sarasota and Longboat Key and are extremely helpful in the process you need to go through before getting to closing!!
We would personally like to share our great experience working with Kathy Callahan in your Longboat Key office. My husband and I decided we would like to try something a little different for the winter and head south. We had no idea which coast of Florida but friends gave us a few recommendations. We spent a week traveling and while in Tampa I told my husband I think we need to go back to Sarasota. Rodney and I loved Siesta Key, Longboat Key and the Sarasota area. So we headed back. Luckily, we happened to drive by your office in Longboat Key and just decided to turn in even though we were looking for a rental. This is where I feel Kathy was our “Little Angel”. She happened to be working around the front desk and offered to help. Even though she is in sales she said she would be glad to take our information and pass it on to your rental person. We left with a Michael Saunders folder, a few places to ride by, and a promise she would be back in touch. From this point Kathy made it her mission to find us a home for the winter. She called me the next day and found out we had started back to North Carolina. Kathy said I will look into a few places for you. She found three condos and face timed me while she walked through so I could see them. Kathy found the perfect condo for us! She negotiated price and everything we needed to complete the lease. This is our “Happy Ever After” ending. We loved Longboat Key! We played tennis, rode bikes, enjoyed restaurants and all the things that the area has to offer. Kathy kept in touch during our visit. We decided this was a special place and we needed to come back. Kathy showed us many properties and finally, the right condo with the most awesome view came on the market! We made a couple of trips back to Florida. Rodney and I are so happy to have our “Little home with the view”. It’s all because of Kathy Callahan. Kathy goes beyond her job description. Not only was she a wonderful realtor for us, I feel like I have a special friend. It was a true blessing turning into Michael Saunders and being greeted by Kathy.

Kathy Callahan is Six Stars!! My family has been on LBK for close to 50 years and this being the first and only time we have considered the need to sell our beautiful condo, Kathy Callahan has become our expert mentor, guidance and beacon. The experience of working with Kathy is nothing short of having a "family member' by our side and the result has been one of the most satisfying and successful real-estate experiences we have ever had anywhere in the world. I recommend to anyone selling or buying a home on LBK to contact Kathy, without exception. Thank you Kathy for this amazing opportunity to work with you and the Michael Saunders and Company. Jonathan Haas, satisfied client.
"The experience has been excellent".William Foyst
Kathy and Todd Callahan are a talented team who exceeded our expectations! We were referred to Kathy by a Naples realtor. Within a month, we closed on a beautiful LBK property. Kathy was our point person; but we soon realized Todd was available to work on our behalf as well. They created an efficient process. They understood what was important to us, and were knowledgeable and thorough. They made us feel as if they were looking out for our best interests. Michael Saunders and Company hit a home run with these two!
Kathy is an outstanding buyer's broker. She is knowledgeable about the market, responsiveness and fair and objective in her assessment of the homes. My wife and I met her at an open house and toured several condos, homes and neighborhoods on LBK. Once we settled on an area there was limited inventory within our price range as well as desired location. Kathy found us home that wasn't on the market and we quickly negotiated with the seller. She coordinated all the due diligence and introduced us to several qualified general contractors. She is a pleasure to deal with and I couldn't recommend her strong enough!
I have bought and sold 4 homes on Longboat Key during the past 15 years. Without a doubt my experience with Kathy Callahan was the most professional as well as "personal". She and her husband Todd were there every step of the way from a detailed analysis of the market for setting our asking price , to staging of the property to helping make sure our home was "buyer ready" even during the time we needed to be away. The real difference that Kathy brings is a sincere interest in not just selling your home but in making the experience as seem-less and pleasant as possible. To the last date of the walk thru she was there to make sure everything went smoothly. She is a "class act" and I welcome any one to call me for a reference.
Kathy and Todd were fantastic to work with! They spent many months searching for a condo that met our requirements. And, when they found the perfect one, they helped us finish all of the paperwork, inspect the property and get our questions answered by the HOA. They also came up with remedies to solve several issues that popped up. They make a great team and were very knowledgeable and responsive - no request was too big or small. We highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a home in the Longboat Key/Sarasota area!
Kathy Callahan rocks the realtor world. She provided incredible service, focus and determination for Robin and I in the purchase of our Longboat Key property. But that’s not where Ms. Callahan ends. Her greatest asset is her “ Personal Touch” that she afforded us after the sale of our Sanctuary Condo. She made sure that we has the best possible move in experience. Bottom line, she was head and shoulders above any realtor we ever dealt with. Absolute praise to Kathy Callahan.
I had to say something about what it is like working with Kathy. She is amazing! My wife and I were considering a move to Florida. We thought with the low inventory and fast-moving market, we would just get to show Kathy what we were like and then most-likely have to make multiple trips to see homes and then also have trips to close. Kathy got it all done on that trip, coordinated EVERY detail, and got us the home we needed for our family from that first trip, while we were 3000 miles away for most of the work. There aren't words to explain how much this has meant to us, and her continuing outreach and care has been unbelievable as we get ready for our big move. We have a few friends considering moving to central Florida, and we have had the privilege or recommending her with no reservation! We are even considering additional real estate transactions in the area, mostly because we know that we are in good hands with Kathy! What a pro! Her calm approach and fierce efforts on our behalf were awesome! She made us feel like family. Thank you, Kathy!
Kathy has been instrumental in locating us properties over the years when we lived in Madrid, Spain. She has been always looking out for our best interests & minimizing our exposure as out of the country clients. She has also assisted us with purchasing land & selling property. Kathy has also been very creative & skillful with negotiating our offer to be accepted on our last big purchase their in Tucson , even though the listing agent already had other offers on the table she took Kathy's contract over others because of Kathy's relationship to the listing agent & her reputation . Kathy works very hard to locate the best properties , negotiate the best terms for her clients & always makes sure you are not exposed to risk , she even had an attorney review & advise us overseas with our last offer that we closed with her. I would highly recommend Kathy Callahan to any buyer or seller of their home ! etc... etc... maybe add some of your own wording , feelings etc.. Thanks so much for your support & friendship, Kathy
Working with Kathy was great. She asks great questions and quickly got a sense of what my wife and I were interested in. She arranged a great day of house visits for us and we would heartily recommend her to others.
A recent transplant from NY I felt fortunate to meet Kathy. Her knowledge, professionalism and down to earth demeanor was great! We will continue to work with her in our search. Pat and Tom
Kathy has been instrumental in helping me sell several properties in Tucson over the years . She also helped me acquire land for development & has been very successful in satisfying all of my referrals I have sent to her to help with purchasing a home. I had a very challenging investment property at the University of Arizona with 3 different units & 7 tenants & she was amazing with handling all the showings to work around everyone's schedule & did sell it within a few months to my complete satisfaction . I remember my first spec home she sold for us, my Father & I ,It was In the Foothills that was a long time marketing that property but, many open houses but we finally sold it . Thanks to you ! Thanks for all that you do !
Kathy did a wonderful job in helping us find the ideal home in Longboat Key. As out of town buyers, we relied on her expertise and knowledge of the market to provide the information needed to make a winning bid on our property. Her level of communication and quick response time have been top notch throughout the entire home buying process. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathy and she has also been very helpful outside of the sale ... with recommendations on contractors, service people, etc. Would definitely recommend Kathy and use her again in the future.
Best we’ve ever worked with... by far!
Kathy Callahan is an excellent, professional agent who will go above and beyond to understand and meet your housing needs! I manage and sell Commerical real estate but when it came to meeting our Florida housing needs we turned to Kathy and is pleased we did. Highly recommend Kathy!
The Experience has been Excellent !
Kathy has been instrumental in our very first home purchase to selling our home & finding us another larger one & when we were overseas indefinitely we choose Kathy to help us sell it through our bank to another personal referral from the U.K. We trusted Kathy explicitly with all of our real estate transactions, she assisted us with home repair items, pest control , whatever we needed to make sure we were always protected with a home warranty & peace of mind with all of our home purchases & sales .
We just bought a piece of paradise in Longboat Key. Kathy was just outstanding throughout the whole process. She helped us with all the matters, always with a big smile and a positive attitude. She was definitely the one responsible to make this dream come true. Since we live in California, not only the distance, but also the time zone difference, not to mention the pandemic, were all huge obstacles to enable this real estate transaction to happen. Nevertheless, Kathy was always there to put everything together making things easier on us. She negotiated fairly, and perfectly organized appointments, inspections, attorney's meetings on our behalf. On April 15, 2021, we finally closed on a beautiful condo. We are so grateful and especially lucky to have found Kathy to help us on our search of the perfect vacation home. We can't thank her enough. Kathy became a friend for life. She is kind, honest, hardworking, patient, a super human being. Thank you Kathy for everything!!!! We look forward to enjoying the beaches and sunsets in Longboat Key.
Kathy Callahan is the ultimate professional with enormous knowledge, energy and attention to detail. My wife Deborah and I were constantly amazed how hard Kathy worked to exceed our business and personal needs. Kathy makes purchasing a home an absolute pleasure. If you are looking for the best sales agent with a warm easy smile than Kathy is the very best option. The experience was great from the initial house hunting beginning to the very end when Kathy provided us a thank you letter and nice little goodie bag. My wife and were blown away by the positive experience. Tom & Deborah Blaszczykiewicz Buffalo N.Y.

My husband and I purchased a condominium in Sarasota in March. Kathy Callahan was our agent and she was excellent! She went over and above and walked us through every step of the process. She took the time to answer any questions that we had and told us things we should be aware of. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing a property!

I can’t say enough about Kathy as a broker and as a person. Came up from Chicago and was looking to buy a house on Long Boat Key with another family. That means Kathy has two clients instead of one. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market and found us a great “Florida House”. In addition, she has been extremely helpful post closing helping us through a rehab of the house. She has already made her deal but she continues to take care of us. I now consider Kathy both a business associate and a friend. Best realtor experience of my life.
Todd and Kathy went above and beyond our expectations in helping us purchase property in LBK. They took care of everything from ordering inspections, to getting necessary electrical work done quickly prior to closing, to helping get rid of unwanted furniture. Their local knowledge is a tremendous asset for LBK buyers and sellers. Most highly recommend the Callahans!!
Kathy is amazing to work with! She helped me find the perfect house on Longboat Key. She and her husband Todd were always available for questions and made sure my closing was smooth, accurate and on time. They know everything about Longboat Key and how to get a real estate deal done! Love my new beach house!!
Kathy has been the best realtor we have ever worked with. We cannot say enough good things about her. Over the years we have bought and sold 5 homes and we have never had a realtor who has been as patient, compassionate, thorough and as helpful overall throughout the process as Kathy. Kathy will show a client as many units as they want to see for comparison, and the same unit as many times as needed so that the buyer is completely sure and confident in their choice. She takes the time to review everything carefully and makes the process so easy. She takes care of everything that she can on her end so as to minimize any tasks for the client. She is very knowledgeable about Longboat Key area and offers many helpful information and tips. She is also fun, friendly, and a joy to work with. We highly recommend her for any buyer and will call upon her again in the future if needed. We loved working with her and she worked hard to make sure we were able to finally purchase our dream beach condo!
It was such a pleasure working with Kathy!! We met her at an Open House that she was doing, and she followed up with an email. We weren't sure what exactly we were looking for, but she asked questions to help get a feel for what we wanted and she listened to what we had to say. She was tireless and showed us several properties in our short time-span. Once we settled on a property she was with us every step of the way! She has gone over and above and has exceeded my expectations!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!!!
Can't say enough positive things about Kathy Callahan. My purchase was made difficult by the seller not wanting to sell their home, yet Kathy remained calm and persistent and resilient. She kept me from getting stressed, and because of her perseverance I was able to buy the home. No pressure, no drama - just professional and friendly service is what you can expect from Kathy. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. 5 stars for Kathy, and she will be my agent on Long Boat Key for years to come. Thank you Kathy!
We want to pass along our compliments and gratitude for the outstanding service we received from your agent Kathy Callahan! We connected with Kathy via a recommendation from trusted friends who purchased a condo with her assistance. We are so glad we did! We really didn't have an area in Sarasota county pinned down and Kathy graciously and patiently showed us properties from Bradenton to Venice. We conducted much of our search from our home in New York and she was wonderful about previewing neighborhoods and properties for us. Her knowledge about the market process was second only to the personalized service she provided throughout the buying process. We bought a modest condo, but we feel as though Kathy treated us the same way she would a luxury market buyer. I expect that some of the guests we will have visit will be interested in purchasing property here and we will recommend Kathy and Michael Saunders in a heartbeat. She is truly a gem and an outstanding representative. We also want to compliment the rest of the Michael Saunders team whom Kathy connected us with, including Jennifer Samano from MSC Title and Erin Fleeman from BKS Partners.
Kathy is the best! She was able to find us our dream property that wasn’t even on the market! Rest assured she will take great care of your real estate needs, whether buying or selling!

My husband and I cannot speak more highly of our realtor, Kathy Callahan, and we are convinced that we would never have found our perfect beach condo without her many extra efforts on our behalf. Kathy's excellent relationship with other realtors was the difference, and she became aware of the availability of our new home early. The day we saw it we signed the contract, and the day after we signed the contract there was a list of folks who wanted to buy at a higher price. Kathy worked round the clock with enthusiasm and kindness. On the day we moved in, we found an entire weekend of gourmet meals and wine in our refrigerator - courtesy of Kathy. We give her our highest rating without qualification!
