Success Stories
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle
"We bought our new “forever home” from Elizabeth and it went perfectly. She and her team managed the transaction flawlessly, while at the same time marketing and selling our existing home on day one at the Brokers’ Open house. This may sound like a gush of praise, but it is well deserving. The entire… Read More experience was a true study in professionalism. Elizabeth had her arms around the deal at all times, with everyone coming out satisfied. We can say that we are so lucky to have had this gem of a realtor in our corner and we would highly recommend her!" Read Less

"I would like to take a few moments to sing the praises of Elizabeth Van Riper who became our friend and real estate agent over the last winter. My wife and I were spending our second winter in Sarasota when we decided we would like to buy something. We had been introduced to Elizabeth through a mutu… Read Moreal acquaintance and she quickly showed us some available real estate in areas that we knew and had asked about. It was only after a first transaction fell through that Elizabeth's knowledge and insight really started to shine. She gently persuaded us to look into an entirely different area....and within a week we had a signed contract on something we loved. Not only was her knowledge of the Sarasota market impressive and useful, but her "emotional IQ" in understanding us equally valuable. She is both a consummate real estate professional, as well as a sensitive and interested human being. I truly believe that had it not been for Elizabeth's perseverance, we would have left Sarasota without completing a purchase this year." Read Less
