I am excited to be working with Debi Benson for the sale of my waterfront home. She is knowledgeable, responsive and energetic in bringing this about as painlessly as possible. Her professionalism is readily apparent, which gives me confidence in her approach and recommendations. Choosing Debi Benson has been a great decision.
Debi was wonderful to work with. She gave us knowledgeable advice but always listened to us as well, it was a great working relationship. She was always quickly reachable and always had time for us, friendly and personable, yet professional. Debi was also a great help in handling the few problems that popped up. Our property sold in under a month. We highly recommend Debi with absolutely no reservations.
Debi Benson was wonderful to work with. She is professional and knows her business. Her knowledge of Placida Harbour is good and she understands the importance of the amenities in the Harbour.
To me, the assistance and dedication to customer serve provided by Debi Benson is absolutely incredible. She has gone out of her way more than any other agent I have ever dealt with in the past. You should be proud of the way she represents your company and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Debi Benson and Michael Saunders & Company to any of our friends in the future
Great service. Awesome communication. Prompt in everything. I couldn’t be happier with my new home. I definitely would recommend Debi to my family & friends.
Our experience with Debi was very professional. She is courteous, helpful, works hard and understanding of all situations. We give Debi 5 stars!! Pat and Gregg Rettew
Appreciate you for all your professional help and kindness in selling our Englewood home. You certainly always went the extra mile in client service. Michael Saunders & Company are fortunate to have you on staff.
Debi was easy to work with and very conscientious. She kept me up-to-date with every aspect of the sale of my home in Placida and, as the process moved forward, explained what was happening and why. I highly recommend her services. Great job!
FIVE STARS. Well... where should I start... Debi has been ABOLUTLY AWESOME! I deal with many agents with my business and we could not have ask for any better service. She is very help and made us feel like a part of her life. We are looking forward to our closing and getting to visit her then. She has been very helpful.
Bought two houses with Debi in 2022, I have referred two other buyers to her.Debi was referred to us by family friends living in Venice. Debi helped us buy a Venice house for grandpa and a Sarasota one for our retirement during the crazy-see-it-same-day-offer times. The house viewings were managed well around the criteria we established. She adjusted the viewing schedules on the fly as she saw how we responded to the viewings. The offering and closing processes were well communicated and executed with no surprises. The Michael Saunders organization paid benefits as an ideal property came up over night after the buyer fell through and before the obligatory relisting at noon the next day. Debi had broadcast our criteria interests to the MS network and they contacted her. Opportunities? She could use a better GPS service!Review submitted by Chris Langholz & Jie Chen (Buyer)
Debi is very professional and has good knowledge of the real estate business in our area especially Placida Harbour Club. It was a pleasure working with her and we would give her a five star rating.
Debi has been very helpful in getting information and forms to me in order that I may apply for a grant! It is wonderful to find a person who has such a heart for the community!

Debi is extremely knowledgeable and informed on current market conditions. Her evaluation of property value way a key in the sale of my real estate. Her integrity, honesty and personal skills are just are ideal in her profession. I would certainly enlist her in any future real estate transactions.
Debbie is obviously dedicated to doing her job. She regularly communicates with us on the general happenings on our contract to sell. The only thing I would like, and which is not happening, is a receiving notice of how many actual showings are done and what are the responses of those viewing the property . Don Shorts
My wife and I had the pleasure to work with Debi on the search for our home in the Sawgrass community in Venice. Debi is by far the best realtor I have worked with. She is a real pro - - extremely conscientious, detailed focused and very efficient. Given the tight housing inventory situation in SW Florida and our list of criteria Debi "charged ahead" to find us our dream home even during tropical storm Iota! Debi explained detailed information and process steps often times anticipating my questions before I asked. Debi was very responsive to our inquires and concerns and fully represented our interests throughout the process. Beyond Debi's professionalism she is a warm and kind person that helps alleviate the stress associated with making a major home buying decision. I highly recommend Debi!
Debi Benson Professional, friendly. Presents herself very well. Extremely thorough, describes both good and bad with strong research to support each view. Handles herself extremely well when dealing with other agents. We were very pleased with her representation for us. We would definitely use her services again and we would encourage any buyer/seller to do the same. Patrick and Anita Sulley
On top of it all! Debi knows how to navigate all the ins and outs and hurdles that come up in real estate transactions and is so familiar with all the technical things a realtor needs to know to make the sale of your home occur as smoothly as possible!
Very professional, knowledgeable and honest. She worked very hard to market and sell our property. We had a wonderful working relationship with Debi and would highly recommend her. She was extremely helpful getting us through the closing and move in the middle of the COVID epidemic. Jan & Don M.

Debi did a wonderful job and was a pleasure to deal with. She put us in touch with all the right people to clean, paint and prepare the house for sale. She suggested the right price and closed the sale within our desired time frame, while dealing diplomatically with multiple family members.
I am completely satisfied with all of Debi Benson's handling of my property.
Debi, Thank you for your service on my behalf. I appreciate your efficient, courteous and pleasant manner. I will certainly recommend you if I know of anyone moving in your area. Odessa T.
It was a real pleasure working with Debbie. She took our “wishlist “ and showed us several properties that met our wants & needs. We put down a deposit and our offer was just accepted. Debbie helped make this happen. Thanks Debbie.
Debi Benson is a great realtor and person. She has really been an assett when we built a home through her. She watches after our place and stays in touch. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing real estate assistance. Steve and Linda
Debi is very professional, yet she is also able to quickly establish a comfortable rapport that fosters open sharing of thoughts and ideas. We felt she went the extra mile to ensure our search process was a thorough and pleasant experience. One example of what sets Debi apart is that her support didn’t stop with the close of the sale. We closed on our property in early February and then Covid 19 hit. In March, Debi reached out by phone to see how we were doing and to offer her assistance if we needed any help or had any questions as we were new to the area. We were very impressed with Debi’s professionalism, knowledge of the area, thoughtfulness and genuine interest in helping us find the perfect property for us. If we ever have a need for a realtor in the area again, we will definitely call Debi. We would also eagerly recommend Debi to our friends or anyone seeking a realtor in the area.
What do you do when you are selling your home at one of the worst times in Florida history? You go with the best agent and that agent is Debi Benson. From the first time we interviewed her (and several others who didn't make the grade) to the day we closed on our sale, Debi was there for us whenever we needed her. Her ideas are always on point, she tells you the pros and cons of anything and lets you make up your own mind, if you need her to be at the house, she is at the house, if she doesn't know an answer, she will find out and not try to BS you. She knows the area well, she knows the local and national trends. If she will be away, she will let you know how to reach her or give you someone who will be there if needed. So, all the smarts and a really, really nice person on top of that.
We have been absolutely delighted with the smooth process of selling our home, despite the challenges of the pandemic and us being overseas. We first came to know Debi when we built the property as a holiday home back in 2014. Since then, she has become a good friend and neighbor, watching out for the property and providing helpful information about the local real estate market and a couple of home valuations. Therefore, when we made the decision to sell, it was natural that we should ask Debi to market our property. She did a superb job, especially given the constraints of Covid and we having been unable to get to the house in almost 2 years. As well as organizing a quick and smooth selling process, she ensured that a number of maintenance jobs were completed and packed up and stored our personal possessions. We were kept fully up to date throughout by email, WhatsApp, and several Skype calls. We can't thank Debi enough. To say we're delighted is actually an understatement. We look forward to catching up with her as soon as my doctors tell me it's safe to travel. And last but not least, thank you Debi for donating part of your fee to the MSC Foundation. Another indication of how you're always thinking of others.
Debi is a real professional. She keep us I nformed and solicited our input. I feel she worked hard to sell our property (which she did sell) by consistently advertising it, with pictures and showing it many times. She always gave us feedback after each showing which was very helpful. Debi kept her promises and was very easy to talk with and work with. I would definitely recommend her to my friends. She is a very friendly, upbeat and a very polite and mature individual. A real winner based on my dealing with many real estate brokers and agents over the years through the purchase and sale of 10 personal homes, two condos, two single family rental homes and two rental townhouses.
Debi Benson made the sale of our property a breeze! She is a kind and caring agent whom I would recommend to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing property. I am confident to finalization of our transaction will be flawless. Thanks to Debi!
We met Debi Benson when we listed our house in March. At our first meeting we were very impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and pleasant personality, and we knew we were a good match. We felt the Ms. Benson’s knowledge of the industry, and the Michael Saunders marketing efforts were instrumental in achieving such a quick sale. Ms. Benson was in constant contact with us throughout the entire process.

Debi was responsive, prompt and informative throughout the entire sales process. Our house was damaged by hurricane Milton. Added to the fact that our family had undergone some changes, the decision had been made to sell the property rather than rebuild it. Debi was referred to us as someone who was very knowledgeable about the local market. She was forthright when we requested information that we needed in order to determine how to move forward with our house in what could best be described as a difficult market. it was not a simple decision to simply "sell". She was patient with us as our family worked through the process of selling the family home. Once it was placed on the market and a buyer located, Debi continued to be helpful all through the closing process. Thank you, Debi, for all of the help in seeing the transaction through to a successful sale.
