We had an amazing experience working with Elena on the purchase of our new home in Sarasota. From the very beginning, Elena took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, she explored different areas with us, and showed us a wide range of homes to help us narrow down the perfect fit. What really impressed us was her speed and dedication - Elena found this home herself and sent it to us just hours after it was listed. She also helped us negotiate the best price and guided us through every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and stress-free closing. If you're looking for a great real estate agent in the Sarasota area, we absolutely recommend Elena. Her deep local knowledge, tireless work ethic, and commitment to her clients will help you find your dream home too!

I had the pleasure of working with Elena Mitchell when purchasing a home in Sarasota, Florida, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Buying from out of state can be overwhelming, but Elena made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient, always taking the time to explain the details and make sure I understood every step. Elena's expertise in the Sarasota market was invaluable. She provided great guidance, answered every question thoroughly, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Her communication was consistent and clear, which gave me confidence even from hundreds of miles away. What really stood out was that Elena's support didn't end at closing. She continued to be just as helpful afterward, assisting with resources, local contacts, and anything I needed to settle into the area. Knowing I could still rely on her after the paperwork was done meant a lot. If you're looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond for her clients, I highly recommend Elena Mitchell. Thanks to her dedication and professionalism, I am now happily settling into my new home!

We have been absolutely THRILLED to have Elena Mitchell as our realtor during the search and purchase of our home on Siesta Key.

She promptly and professionally responded to each and every request. Her expert recommendations have saved us countless headaches and very significant money. She has provided a level of service that goes above and beyond that of any of our previous realtors. We wholeheartedly give Elena our highest possible recommendation.

We are really picky about our realtors and do not hesitate to switch when the fit is not right. Elena is the agent we will keep coming back to for our real estate needs. She is very responsive which is a must in a hot market. Does what you would expect and more. Definitely goes above and beyond — we made a friend rather than just a transaction. She answered all our tricky questions and when the answer is not readily available she would find one. She was very thorough and followed up on everything as promised. I would highly recommend her.

Elena has the answers to all questions, responds quickly, and acts with the customer's needs in mind. We've been looking at listings for a while until one morning she called me and said something along the lines of "I think this is the house you've been looking for", and indeed, it looked good to me and I proceeded to buy it. Elena has been helpful in every step of transaction, and remains helpful even past the boundaries of her duties. She takes into account the personalities and circumstances of her clients. Should I buy another property in her area, I will definitely use her services again.

I'm so very pleased and satisfied with the service that I received from my agent, Elena! She is very professional, full of energy and nice person! Anytime and any days available for any questions we had. It was so fast... we went to see the house and we signed the contract right away, because it was what we were looking for!!! She did an outstanding job to find the best home for us! I highly recommend her for other clients. She has suggestions for every request! Thank you Elena so much!

Elena is a TRUE professional. She was recommended by a friend of mine after their successful purchase. She helped me to buy a property while I was living out of state. Great personality makes you feel like you know her for a very long time. I trusted her opinion 100% and I wasn't disappointed. She helped me to buy a property in that tough sellers market (kudos to her EXCELLENT NEGOTIATING SKILLS). She knows how to make your offer accepted. Very quick on responses, no matter how busy she is, you never feel rushed or pressured to make any decisions. Elena provides outstanding guidance based on her extensive experience. Also, another very important thing — she is a "one stop shop" where you don't have to worry about ABSOLUTELY anything! She has all the tools and a great team along her side (inspectors, lenders and escrow specialists) that helped us close before the closing date!!!

Very protective about my deal. No problem for multi visits and in the end still asking us if we do need any help to register our kid in school, energy, taxes and even Alligators, black widows, brown recluse and everything else on life in FL compared to New York :)

What a great job Elena did for us. The houses I was selling needed some TLC and I was in NY. Elena hired and managed contractors who fixed the house in record time, and since I was low on cash she negotiated the contractors' invoice to be paid at closing. The amount of online effort to promote the listing and the open houses was mind boggling — and that effort proved to be very effective. Elena knew exactly who would be "the right buyer" and when she found them she closed the deal. We signed the contract and had the closing two weeks later. Great job. End of story.

Elena helped us buy our first single family home and we couldn't be happier with our realtor choice. She is very knowledgeable, supportive, and always on our side, making sure we got the best deal possible. She is willing to go extra mile (or 1000 miles) to get things done; manage risks, cover all the important details, so there are no unpleasant surprises and always make sure you are getting best conditions. We had the obstacles during our journey but she was always there I can't believe how caring she is for her customers. If you are lucky to have her as your realtor, just know that you have best of the best.

Elena has helped us to buy our first house and we are so glad we chose her as our realtor. Elena is always responsive and eager to help either with a professional advice or to visit the house a third time because you missed something and need to look once again. She is always on your side and never shy to advocate for your interests, especially when it comes to price. We were buying a house remotely, it was risky but thanks to Elena's professional and personal experience, everything went SO smoothly. I highly recommend Elena as a reliable real estate professional.

Elena Mitchell was always punctual and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She successfully negotiated a $20,000 price reduction on our home with Taylor Morrison, which made a big difference. Elena also attended every walk-through inspection, ensuring that everything was in order and addressing any concerns along the way. Her dedication and professionalism were outstanding.

I usually don't see the value in having a buyer's agent, having bought and sold properties on my own in the past, but Elena changed my mind. She was fantastic in helping me find, negotiate, and purchase an investment rental property. Her market knowledge, negotiation skills, dedication, and patience really stood out. Elena listened to what I wanted, gave great advice, and made sure I got a good deal. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

I want to express my immense gratitude to Elena for her invaluable assistance in purchasing our home. Thanks to her professionalism and persistence, we became owners of the most wonderful home that meets all our requirements. Initially, it seemed that the deal would be very difficult, but Elena made it easy and pleasant. Her incredible negotiation skills allowed us to reduce the cost of the house by $15,000 and obtain a credit from the seller.

Elena is the best realtor I have worked with. She quickly found a house that suited all our requests (there were a lot of requests). She always answered when we called her (day and night) and explained everything that we did not understand. I really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend Elena to everyone.

Elena is a very knowledgeable, attentive to detail and professional realtor. She guided me from the moment I started looking at properties to negotiating the contract and closing. She did due diligence about PACE addendum and prevented accepting the seller's debt as long as negotiated the price tremendously. Even after the closing day, she was there to assist me with any questions and recommendations. Very impressive! I highly, highly recommend!

It was a pleasure to work with Elena. Very responsible, competent and pleasant person to work with. Helped us to choose a property in a short time. All purchasing issues were resolved remotely with her help (inspection, mortgage, closing company, signing all documents online) Elena was always in touch. Only with her help and her advice the deal was successfully closed. I can definitely recommend Elena to work with!

An excellent and very professional Realtor. I feel that I got very lucky to have Elena as my Realtor in the hot market of Sarasota. I am a busy professional and working mom, so Elena immediately appealed to me with her excellent professional work ethic. But the best thing about Elena is that she is very, very smart, knows the market, and gives you excellent advice. We were able to buy a great house in a very sought-after community with great schools, on our first bid — we saw the house, submitted the offer, and closed in about 42 days. This was in an incredibly hot and competitive market, and mortgage brokers as well as appraisers had a backup/bottleneck we were all struggling with. Elena worked with everyone as a team and kept the transaction together. At the same time so many of my friends and acquaintances were complaining that they could not close on a home, they had been bidding for months and only saw prices rise by 20% while working with other realtors. I am very happy we got to work with Elena. We trusted her to buy the house "sight-unseen", just from the virtual tour and her opinion of the property. I can't recommend her strongly enough.
