What People are Saying About
Investments In Sarasota

Sarasota Buyer

Lee Mirman, was amazing. We were from out of town looking for a home, and Lee accommodated our travel schedules to take care of our needs. He helped educate us on the different neighborhoods, price points, and home types (e.g., condo vs. single family home).

Quite frankly, if not for Lee, we would still be looking for a home. Our trust in Lee and his team gave us the confidence to put in a bid based on their site visit and video of the property. He helped us select the perfect home at the price that fitted within our budget, having all of the bells and whistles we wanted. Lee was not shy in working with the listing agent so that the home was sold quickly and easily to us.

While I have purchased a home before, my wife is a first-time home buyer, and Lee tailored his approach to our needs. Lee helped with the inspections, including pool inspectors, drain/sewer inspectors, insurance brokers, etc. He also gave us suggestions as to who to use for any needed repairs to the house. Not only did Lee make the home buying process easy, he’s also helping make the preparations for the move and settling into a new state easy.

I recommend anyone looking for a home to contact Lee Mirman. He will simplify the entire home-buying process for you.

Investments In Sarasota

Downtown Sarasota Buyer

Lee and Lisa were fantastic in helping us find our townhome. They demonstrated thorough professionalism and attention to detail, making the buying process as smooth as possible—especially in Sarasota’s competitive seller’s market in late 2023 and early 2024.

– Charles and Vicki Raeburn

Lido Key Buyer

If you are looking for a residential Real Estate professional, I highly recommend you meet with Lee Mirman, owner of Investments in Sarasota. Lee’s real estate prowess of the Sarasota luxury market is superb; due in part to his extensive financial background, being a native of Sarasota, his extensive research and creative analytical thinking.

In the past 3 years, Lee worked extremely hard to research, find and brilliantly negotiate to secure us two beautiful properties in Sarasota. The first property was a condominium in 2021 on Lido Key, Penthouse #1, ocean front southwest corner at a superb price. The second property was in 2023 for a home in Laurel Oak Estates which Lee found off market and had all the primary characteristics we expressed. Lee spent close to a year tirelessly canvasing, researching and showing us homes in the very competitive Laurel Oak Country Club community.

My wife and I found our experiences and time spent with Lee and his wife Lisa to be professional, genuine, trusting, dedicated, passionate, organized and respectful. Lee truly is one of the very best luxury residential agents in all of Sarasota. We will not hesitate to contact Lee again for our next real estate need!

– David Daugherty

Longboat Key Seller

When deciding to sell my home after happily living there for 33 years, I imagined the process would be emotionally draining and physically exhausting until I met Lee and Lisa. They were incredibly empathetic, transparent, organized and energetic. I felt like they held my hand from the minute I made the decision to sell to the day I closed. Lee and Lisa were always 10 steps ahead of me, keeping me informed of the real estate market, level of interest in my home and progress on the offer until it was final. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give them an 11.

– Marion Levine

Downtown Sarasota Buyer

Lee and Lisa were amazing to work with! My husband worked with Lee for a while over the phone (from Virginia) before actually purchasing a property and Lee was extremely helpful and patient in that process. Once purchase time came, Lee was able to negotiate a great deal for us. Lisa provided additional support all along the way. We would highly recommend their services!

– Joanna Dobson

Longboat Key Resident

Lee and Lisa sold our beachfront condo on Anna Marie Island. I could not imagine a more professional engagement. As a result, we received top dollar on our property.

– Walter Frank

Downtown Sarasota Buyer

Lee and Lisa were absolutely fantastic to work with. They were super responsive and helpful without being pushy or aggressive. From the real estate search all the way through closing, they were extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we found the right property and navigated the process extremely smoothly. Not to mention they are just delightful people. I highly recommend them to anyone with real estate needs.

– Amy & Bill Jeffries

Longboat Key Buyer

If you want the best of the best, if you want a high-end concierge service, then I highly recommend Lee and Lisa Mirman of Investments In Sarasota. Their extensive knowledge of every aspect of the business was impressive. They are the whole package! With their calming professionalism, they guided us through our buying adventure. They were with us every step of the way. They were always available and bent over backward even after the sale. We felt like we were with trusted old friends the way that they treated us. They still check in on us and are ready to help us with anything we need. We truly appreciated their impeccable service. If we decide to buy again, they will be our first call.

– Annie G

Mainland Sarasota Buyer

Thank you for all your help during my recent home-buying experience. I had so little idea of how to buy a home and couldn’t have done it without you! From the first time you showed me property in 2010, you have been the go-to guy during my periodic, on, and off-property hunts. That is a long time for you to patiently humor these periodic urges. And it finally paid off!

Since I made an offer on the house sight unseen and did the closing from Indiana, it was a huge challenge for me. You patiently helped me through the many steps of the process. Your recommended team during the purchase was kind, understanding, and helpful- especially the mortgage and insurance brokers. Your advice was invaluable to me, particularly the homestead recommendations, inspection arrangement, interaction with the lawyer, etc., and just all-around support. I thank you sincerely.

– Jane Daniel

Longboat Key Seller

When you first receive the call that a loved one has passed away, it does not matter if it is expected or not, the shock and sadness are just as strong. Those closest usually end up being the ones who have to jump right in to deal with all of the things that no one really wants to think about but nonetheless require time and attention. Regardless of how much planning ahead has been done, there are always things that need to be taken care of.

The stress of this becomes compounded when everyone lives far away. This was the case for our family. Finding the right people to help can be difficult, but when it came to needing a Realtor, we knew Lisa and Lee were the people we could trust to help as soon as we met with them. From the moment they walked through the door, they treated all of us with kindness and compassion.

On a personal level, their compassion and understanding never wavered. On a professional level, they were knowledgeable, and, throughout the entire process, they were available to us whenever we needed them. They also provided the information and advice we needed to help ensure that we were able to make informed decisions. We are now coming to the end of this process and there has never been any doubt that we made the right decision when choosing to work with Lee and Lisa.

– The family of Melvyn Weisel

Lido Key Buyer

We started our search for a new home in Sarasota six years ago with Investments In Sarasota. We had a lot of boxes to check to meet our needs and our goals changed along the way. Lee provided invaluable market expertise and insight throughout that time to ensure we clearly understood the options and trade-offs of each location. Being committed to the long-term relationship, he always stuck with us and never pressured us to make a decision. We valued that he was always transparent and worked as a single agent (most Realtors work as a transaction agent) which gave us total confidence he was always representing our needs and protecting our interests. After finally deciding on the home that was the right match, Lee skillfully negotiated the contract. Lisa and Lee demonstrated exceptional ability to resolve issues to keep the deal on track. They stood by us to navigate through all the procedures to ensure our concerns were satisfied. They also provided us with a number of resources to make the transition as smooth as possible (movers, contractors, etc.) Investments In Sarasota is truly a real estate agency that covers all the bases and beyond. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a home in the Sarasota area.

– Rich S

Siesta Key Beach Buyer

We have had a fantastic experience with Lee and Lisa at Investments in Sarasota. From our first contact through taking possession of our new place in Siesta Key (and beyond), Lee and Lisa have guided us all the way and are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive! We’d recommend Investments In Sarasota for anyone who wants to work with the best in the business.

– Michael Pekkarinen

Buyer and Seller in Sarasota

I first worked with Lee and Lisa as a buyer in Sarasota and then last month as a seller. Their team went “above and beyond” to make this experience go smoothly, from the staging and cleaning of the house to getting it listed on the MLS. Within a day, we had 16 showings and two days later, we had 5 offers all above asking price! I know there were other new listings on the market and I feel that Lee, Lisa, and Liz made my house stand out among the other new listings. They are exceptional realtors and I feel they are “stand outs” themselves. Investments In Sarasota’s team was worth their weight in GOLD!!! We’ve done 11 corporate relocations over the last 25 years and have worked with many different realtors in seven different states (I’m not exaggerating!) and this team has earned our number ONE ranking!!

– Cheryl Merlino

Buyer on Longboat Key

Lee created a wonderful buying experience. He was informative, educational, transparent and honest. Lee and his team were never rushed or created a pressured environment. Lee introduced us to LBK and its all its offerings not knowing if were committed to the island.

We ended up investing in LBK and Lee assisted in the whole process. Our best real estate acquisition experience. I highly recommend Investments In Sarasota.

– Irv Dennis

Buyer on Siesta Key

My husband and I cannot say enough about our wonderful experience working with Lee and Lisa. Together they made the purchase and transition of our new home move extremely smoothly. They were there to answer every question along the way no matter how big or small. We purchased our beautiful home from out of state and Lee and Lisa were consistently available and able to give knowledgeable referrals for our future needs.

We highly recommend Investments in Sarasota for all your real estate needs.

-Debbie and Pete T.

Seller on Lido, Buyer on Longboat

I first met Lee Mirman when he was hosting an open house for a property on Lido Key several years ago. He was knowledgeable of the local market on Lido, Siesta and Longboat. So when we were ready to buy a new place, we looked at numerous homes in the area, and with each home, Lee got to know what we liked and didn’t like and ultimately we found a home we love on Longboat Key. At the same time, Lee and his team went to work on marketing our condo. They brought in a fabulous photographer and videographer to showcase our home online. We had multiple contracts and ultimately Lee and his team was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting to closing.

-Gloria H

Mainland Sarasota Seller

Lee and Lisa Mirman of Investments In Sarasota are an outstanding and unique team. Brilliant and intellectually sharp, they are always in tune with the constantly changing fluctuations in the real estate market. Philosophically aware and insightful, this remarkable partnership personify the highest qualities of a humanistic, people centered approach to every professional commitment. Compassionate and caring, they embrace the finest human values in their relationships with their clients.

We chose to place our faith and trust in them during a crisis chapter in our lives, as my wife struggled for life, during her battle with cancer. Meryl and I treasured Lee and Lisa, as we sought their advice and guidance in our journey together. We were able to lean on their shoulders with comfort and trust.

In a difficult business environment, they epitomize the best standards in their relationships with all participants in the transaction. Our experience with Lee and Lisa taught us to respect and admire them in their efforts to satisfy our needs and to fulfill our expectations. They stand out as worthy of our gratitude and esteem.

Most enthusiastically, and without any reservation whatsoever, we would heartily recommend them for your consideration as your choice of realtors! Mark Goldman, and in Memory of my wife, Meryl.

-Rabbi Goldman

St. Armand’s Seller

Lee and Lisa did superlative work for us as realtors. When Lee showed up to introduce himself for the first time, he quickly demonstrated a distinctive grasp of what was most appealing about our property — something several other realtors to whom we spoke over the years underestimated — and encouraged us to ask for more than we had been told to offer before. This was important because our property was different from most in the area, holding substantial appeal to a distinctive set of buyers, less to others.

In addition, Lee made it evident that he and Lisa tailored their approach to the needs and interests of the client in a customized way. So we went with him and Lisa, and sure enough, we ended up selling the property to a person whose distinct interest in the property was precisely what Lee had foreseen, and at a price close to the original asking price. Mission accomplished!

In addition, the couples’ handling of the sale from beginning to end was considerate of our needs and highly professional in terms of photos, virtual showings, actual showings, and other aspects of the overall transaction process. Lisa displayed her own outstanding skills at presenting the property and working with clients who assisted in this effort, and Lee was excellent in performing his tasks in a productive division of labor. We all had to deal with the problems associated with Covid 19, including the special vulnerability of one of us, and no one could have handled it with more ability than Lisa and Lee.

Overall, we could not have done better than employing Lisa and Lee to sell our property.

-Susan Downs

Sarasota Buyer

Pandemic Purchasers! Warren and I have done 8 corporate relocations in 11 years due to promotions for his career in the pharmaceutical industry. Having bought and sold over 15 homes over the years, we recognize when a realtor goes “above and beyond” for his/her customers. Lee and Lisa did that and more!

Buying a house on “Face Time” during the pandemic could have been stressful for us, but Lee spent as much time as we needed to virtually tour our new house, plus he and Lisa followed up during the home inspection process to fully explain and assure that everything would be in good order upon the closing. Their attention to detail, interaction with multiple parties involved with this purchase, and thoroughness with follow up made the closing happen without any issues (they even navigated us through some problems caused by Quicken Loans at the last minute!).

Lee and Lisa are true real estate professionals and it’s been our pleasure having them represent us and make our transition to Sarasota a very pleasant event in our lives!

-Cheryl and Warren

Lido Key Seller, Downtown Sarasota Buyer

Lee and Lisa did an outstanding job for us – both selling our house and buying our condo. They went way above and beyond our expectations. They provide excellent advice on all aspects of the “lifestyle change” that one undergoes when changing your primary residence. They take a holistic approach to the process, are fair and always try to do the “right thing.” By far, the best realtors we have ever worked with.

-Ron Shapiro

Downtown Sarasota Condo Seller

Lee and Lisa are great. There is no one more knowledgeable or honest that could provide you with counsel as how to buy and sell real estate in the Sarasota area. They cross every T and dot every I in order to get you the very best possible result. If you want the best, call them. We will be doing so again with great confidence.

-David Goodman

Longboat Key Waterfront Condo Buyer

We are normally not fans of realtors… for many reasons… including the stress they create for us and the uneasy feeling that they are not working “with” us. However, we both were delighted with Lee Mirman’s professional attitude.

We truly believe that we have now met the best realtor in Florida. Why? Because of Lee’s listening attitude and his focus on the entire selling process. He is most of all honest and he never pushed us in any direction. What he says is what it is!

As he represented the seller at first (we were buyers), he clearly stated that he will make sure that both parties will be treated fairly in a seamless process. Indeed, that is what happened. In less than 6 weeks, he worked diligently with all his contacts to help us make the transaction work. He went the extra mile and made sure that the unit was delivered accordingly to the recommendations of the inspector. He made sure everything was done properly. Clearly, realtors are not all equals. Mr. Mirman is an exceptional real estate professional (not just a deal maker!)

As stated earlier, we were happily surprised to have found such a professional, but it is not the end… We recently received an email asking us to select a charity as his team donated a percentage of the sale to a charity of our choosing!

All in all, doing business with Lee Mirman was a pleasant experience. Maybe it is a smaller agency, but we think bigger real estate companies should take example of Lee Mirman’s business model. Be true and make both parties happy.

-Pierre

Longboat Key Waterfront Condo Seller

Along with my sisters, I want to thank you for the generous donation you made to Temple Beth Israel in honor of our mother.

When the decision was made to sell my mother’s condo I spoke to another Temple member asking if she could recommend a realtor to me. She immediately recommended you. My intention was to interview 2-3 realtors, but after speaking to you I felt comfortable and confident that you would get the job done.

The sale was completed and I want to tell you how much we appreciate the full-service concierge-style experience you have provided from the beginning to the end.

This has not been an easy time. My parents moved into Fairway Bay in 1982 and we have fond memories of the time that we have spent on Longboat Key.

Investments In Sarasota have made this transaction seamless, especially since this was handled primarily over the phone and through emails, due to myself being in Iowa. You have gone the extra mile from beginning to end and we appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to anyone that would ask us. Again thank you for your services.

-Josh Engman

Mainland Sarasota Seller

I had an excellent experience with Lee and Lisa. They are very knowledgeable about the market and attentive to every detail. As an out-of-town seller, those details were extremely important to me. Everything was handled efficiently and with integrity. I highly recommend them, whether you are buying or selling, but especially if you are out of town and trying to coordinate a transaction.

-Sherry Zendel

Bird Key Buyer

Simply put, Lee and Lisa Mirman are EXCEPTIONAL! Their deep knowledge of Sarasota real estate and everything that can even remotely touch any aspect of purchasing real estate is unparalleled. They run a full-service operation and have great resources.

With Lee and Lisa’s guidance, we recently closed on a home in Bird Key. Throughout this journey, Lee was a conscientious professional making sure that our concerns were fully addressed as we thought through the pros and cons of each purchase opportunity. Lee and Lisa spent many hours patiently educating us about this market. Then, through lengthy discussions, they honed-in not only on what we were looking for from a lifestyle perspective but also on what the economic costs of trying to achieve it would be. Lee was like a constant therapist, listening to us and being a very effective sounding board. And while Lisa handles much of the back-office work, her role in this process cannot be undersold. She is bright, efficient, responsive, offers meaningful feedback and suggestions, and is very easy to talk to. But most poignant of all, they are a couple with a high moral compass and bring their heart and soul to everything they do. They make a formidable team! In sum, when working with the Mirmans, you can rest assured that you are working with consummate professionals who will always put the best interests of their clients above everything else.

It has been a real pleasure to get to know Lee and Lisa and their beautiful children. We feel blessed to have come to know them not just on a professional level, but also a personal one.

-Joy Kirpalani

Longboat Key Buyer

We had a wonderful experience working with Lee and Lisa. Lee is an expert negotiator, and his financial background was immensely helpful in analyzing the profitability of various investment opportunities. Lee was always available whenever I called, texted or emailed. He’s got a disciplined pricing philosophy and was the “calm in the storm,” able to creatively work through difficult issues to get us all to closing. Their full service team made it possible for us to purchase real estate from out of town, without worry, as they were our eyes and ears at every inspection point. They have a wide network of service providers that they shared with us. I would definitely use the Mirman’s for our next transaction down in the Sarasota area!

-Heather Goodman

Mainland Sarasota Seller

In preparation for writing Lisa and Lee a thank you for all their hard work marketing and managing the process of selling our Sarasota house, I starting making a list of adjectives that describe our experience working with them. I kept this list on my desk as a reminder that I needed to finish our note to the Mirmans. When I finally found the time to write the note, I re-read my list and I thought how fortunate we were to have them as our real estate agents and for the opportunity to get to know two wonderful members of our Sarasota community.

Lisa and Lee are smart, thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, honest, engaged, hardworking, creative, professional, experienced, organized, straight forward, clear, involved, patient, resourceful, intuitive, accurate, proactive, committed, moral, serious, available, caring, genuine and ethical.

Over the years we have worked with multiple real estate firms and brokers but none like Lisa and Lee. Currently, we live in New England and own and operate businesses in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. As business owners, we strive to offer the best customer experience possible. Our engagement with Lisa and Lee has set a new standard for outstanding service. We are using that experience to improve our own company’s customer service.

-April Levandowski

Mainland Sarasota Seller

Lee and Lisa Mirman did exceptional work to sell our house. They found and had corrected flaws we couldn’t see, allowing our house to show at its best advantage. They engaged contractors, supervised the work, and made sure it was done well and at a reasonable cost. As an absentee owner, I was reassured by their attention to detail and superlative communication skills while corrective work was ongoing. I highly recommend them for the knowledge, energy and experience they brought to the process of selling our house.

-Knox Cummin

Mainland Sarasota Seller

Lee and Lisa could not have been more knowledgeable, efficient, or professional. That alone is enough to refer them to others, but we were most impressed by their kindness. In moving an elderly parent from a home to a continuous care facility, they recognized the difficulty in such a transition, both physically and (especially) emotionally. Their genuine kindness in how they spoke to Mom, made special arrangements for her comfort, and genuinely cared about her feelings was so appreciated. This speaks volumes for the ethics that the Mirmans bring to their business. We feel very lucky to have had them as our realtors.

-Ralph Arden

Mainland Sarasota Buyer

We were at St. Armand’s two years ago and just serendipitously stopped in to look at an open house. We were not really in the market for Sarasota real estate yet, just checking out the market. We were impressed with Lee and his knowledge of real estate in general, but specifically the Sarasota area market. It wasn’t long before we decided Sarasota was right for us, and we got in contact with Lee. After looking at several houses and exploring the city neighborhoods recommended by Lee, we decided to build our dream home. Lee & Lisa walked us thru that process and made pertinent recommendations that were extremely helpful. They sent us a list of recommendations for local services that we were thankful for. We used the insurance agent and the bank recommended and they have turned out to be excellent recommendations. They were there for us each step of the way, the pre-construction meeting, the first and last walk thru and the closing. They know the Sarasota market very well and we would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about moving to or relocating to the area, whether buying an existing home or building your dream home.

-Kim Wood

Downtown Waterfront Buyer

We just purchased our dream home in Sarasota. We have been working for years (literally) with Lee Mirman and Lisa Mirman, from when we first began to explore the Sarasota real estate market until this past year when we were ready to make the decision to move and live full-time to Sarasota. We have owned many homes over the decades, and we have never been more pleased with the purchase of a home than what we experienced with Lee and Lisa. Their generous attention to detail and deep knowledge of the real estate market (and supportive services) in Sarasota made the buying process both painless and fun. We cannot recommend them too highly! They were always available by phone or text, did many more things to help us move in than we ever expected, and were consistently cheerful and understanding of our needs and schedule. Five stars is not a high enough rating for this fanatic real estate duo.

-Craig Ramey

Downtown Sarasota Seller

We sold our downtown condo with the fabulous help of Lee and Lisa Mirman. They provided sound advice about pricing, how to best “show” our beloved condo downtown, and how to streamline the closing. The property sold very quickly, at a price that pleased us (the sellers) and the buyers (we hope!), and they truly went the extra mile. Lisa kept beautiful flowers in the condo (we were out of town) and helped us find a cleaning service so that everything was spotless. I cannot say enough about the special care and deep knowledge about greater Sarasota that the husband-and-wife team – the Mirmans – of Investments in Sarasota provide. We were so fortunate to have such a fabulous experience.

-Sharon Landesman

Downtown Sarasota Seller

The best! Knowledgeable! Honest! Friendly! I will continue to utilize their services for any and all real estate needs I may have in the future. Could not ask for more!

-David Goodman

Siesta Key Buyer

These guys are great. Lee and Lisa offer a thoughtful and intelligent real-estate concierge service. They are resourceful and get things done. They took the guess-work out of it and made it seamless to buy a property while being out of state. We highly recommend them!

-Stacie Vining

Longboat Key Buyer & Seller

Lee and Lisa Mirman are knowledgeable, thorough, dedicated, honest and attentive as realtors. They went beyond the usual “caretaking” as my agents and worked hard on my behalf. They were a pleasure to work with. I have bought and sold many homes over the years and Lee and Lisa have been the best realtors I’ve worked with. I highly recommend their services.

-Dr Sandra Packard

Mainland Sarasota Buyer

Lee is definitely what I would call a Full-Service Realtor! Lee walked us through the process from start to finish, doing all of the research and leg work at every step along the way from discovering comps to the inspections to finalizing the close. He has consistently offered excellent referrals and is a great negotiator. Additionally, he captures a great understanding of real estate and contractual law and represented and advocated for our best interests. I have worked with Lee on several real estate purchases and look forward to working with him again.

-Beth Fox

St. Armands Buyer

Lee and Lisa were totally “hands-on” through every step of the process of selling our home on St Armands Key. As absentee Sellers, this gave us exceptional piece of mind. When we listed our property with them, they invested a lot of energy and time into getting the property into pristine condition. They staged it to present in the best light in order to command the highest price possible. They employed state of the art video and marketing tactics that assured us it was getting the best online exposure possible and coupled it with an open house strategy that drew a lot of potential buyers. They were exceedingly communicative with us through every stage of the process, and went above and beyond to ensure our property was impeccably maintained. Despite tough contract negotiation with the purchasers of the property, Lee handled the negotiations with unmatched intelligence, thoroughness and honesty.

They are truly the BEST realtors in Sarasota.

-Craig Adler

West of Trail Buyer

My wife and I have worked with Lee over the last couple of years on several properties that just didn’t work out. This year all the stars aligned and Lee found our perfect home. We closed yesterday with Lee still by our side. You can count on Lee being with you before, during and after the purchase. If you need a tradesman for some work just ask Lee. He is also aware of which builders take pride in there housing builds and will steer you to the right person. Thanks Lee, if you want me to talk to any perspective clients just have them call.

-Michael Strauss

Longboat Key Buyer

Lee and Lisa are a class act! They listened closely to our needs and worked hard to find exactly what we wanted!! We can’t thank them enough! We can’t imagine anything more they could have done for us…accept maybe to unpack our home 🙂

-Cathy Maddox

Siesta Key Buyer

Wow, much appreciated. We really lucked out with you and Lisa. Lee, we really appreciate you both. Thank you! Clients for life.

-Scott Wood

Longboat Key Buyer

Lisa & Lee were able to find exactly what I was looking for in my beach front property on LBK, all within my initial budget and requirements (no doubt because they took the time to really listen). Not only that, but they also had some great connections that I used with several key vendors that helped move the process of closing along swiftly, all at reasonable rates.

-Lee Young-Taylor

Lido Key Buyer

I am off to bed after an exhilarating day. Thank you so very much for helping us find our slice of heaven. You, my friend, have been nothing short of professional, helpful, and kind! I am forever grateful.

-Bill and Sue Manning

Lido Key Buyer

It was a pleasure working with Lee Mirman. He is very knowledgeable in his field and was very helpful with suggestions or offering solutions to any questions we had for him. We looked at several properties with him and felt he was honest in addressing our concerns. I would recommend Lee to find your next property!

-Sheila Masterson

Lido Key Seller

They made it easy for us. Lee and Lisa know the market, know their trade, and were terrific to work with. We were out of State dealing with the listing and sale of a parent’s property in Florida. Nonetheless communication and cooperation was excellent.

-Gary Leppla

Siesta Key Buyer

Can’t say enough positive feedback about Lee Mirman! My husband and I met Lee during our first visit to Siesta Key. He shared with us his incredible knowledge of the area and housing, was very low key, and low pressure, yet at the same time making our deal work. Due to time constraints, we purchased our vacation home from our home state of Colorado. Enter the Mirman team! Lee and his wife Lisa were great with helping us complete the contractual schedule. Since we were 1500 miles away, they handled all aspects of home inspections. They communicated daily with summarized emails and made sure every detail was handled. Even after closing, Lee and Lisa were phenomenal with helping us! From information on utility companies, to meeting with repairmen, getting house detailed cleaned, arranging pool maintenance company and getting carpets cleaned, they made sure that when we came to our new home for the first time, we could relax and enjoy. They went above and beyond and we are so thankful! Lee and Lisa made our entire second home purchase an easy experience. We get the feeling their mindset is “Happy Clients, Future Clients”, how great is that! Feeling blessed.

-Scott and Lisa Wood

Mainland Sarasota Buyer

Lee is extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs and did not waste a lot of time looking at property that was unsuited for us. We closed without incident and Lee and Lisa were always making sure all the necessary paperwork and outstanding to-do’s were buttoned up.

-Joel Ehrenpreis

Siesta Key Buyer

From the idea of making a sensible investment outside of the Euro-zone, came an investment in a better life. This investment has freed us from the treadmill. We have learned to take time for ourselves, to enjoy life, to do sport and to focus on the important things in life. We were lucky to have met Lee and Lisa Mirman. They found our dream house and they still support us today if we have questions and are happy to advise us. Our dream house means that we have much more time for our large family and friends.

-Guido Stein

Lee and his team are very experienced, professional and caring. They offer a unique way of working with their clients. My family and I were looking to buy a property in the Sarasota / Anna Maria area and Lee walked us though all of our options in each area in a manner that helped us focus on what it was that we really wanted. The end result was a perfect vacation/ investment home that we will enjoy over the years to come well as earn some money to cover the costs of the home. Lee’s expertise in the area was extremely beneficial as was his ability to work to a tight time frame and secure appointments on a last minute basis. He did a great job of negotiating our purchase as well has putting us in touch with all of the various people we needed to involve – lawyer, insurance broker, financial exchange team etc. Once we completed the purchase, one of Lee’s team members did a fantastic job for us checking on outstanding issues that required follow up and completion on the house. She gave us regular updates via Skype and comprehensive e mails. She also completed the final walk through on our behalf as we don’t live in the area. I highly recommend Lee and his team. It was an excellent buying experience. We are very happy clients.

-Sarah Ruth, U.K.

Siesta Key Buyer

We worked with Lee and Lisa over the course of a year to find a property on Siesta Key. During that time our needs evolved from a vacation getaway to a large primary waterfront residence to accommodate our extended family and dogs. Lee and Lisa patiently worked through our options at every turn and helped us buy a terrific house that has exceeded our expectations. We have known many real estate professionals over the years and we think that Lee and Lisa are the absolute best in terms of their technical knowledge of the Sarasota market and their ability to navigate the complex social issues involved in buying and selling property. We would work with them again in a New York minute.

-Glenn C.

Bird Key Seller

We had a waterfront house listed on Bird Key. It was a property that I inherited. Built in 1967, it needed a number of cosmetic upgrades. I live hundreds of miles away. Lee and Lisa Mirman not only arranged for the repairs but they kept me and my siblings well informed about the status of the house. The helped negotiate a good price for all cash. I have bought and sold dozens of houses and I have a pretty good feel for the degree of professionalism one encounters in the retail real estate market… I think Lisa and Lee Mirman rank among the best realtors I have ever dealt with. A pleasure to work with.I would highly recommend them if you have a property in Sarasota.

-Ross Keeler

Mainland Sarasota Seller

I chose to work with Lee on the sale of our house because of his impeccable integrity. He brought tremendous value in helping us understand how to prepare our house for listing and in assessing the market value. Because of his experience in Sarasota real estate, he also helped us attain a selling price far above what we would have been able to achieve ourselves.

Two years ago we decided to sell our Villa in South Sarasota and look for a home in a downtown Sarasota neighborhood. Both the subsequent sale and purchase were handled professionally and expertly by Lee Mirman. We met Lee during an Open House and he immediately impressed us with his affable personality. We continued to work with him and it was a pleasure every step of the way. Buying a home is an emotional experience for the buyer and seller and Lee was always even-keeled. He was sensitive, and always ethical beyond question. His knowledge and expertise resulted in a wonderful conclusion both in our sale and purchase. We love our new home and the sale of our Villa was timely and closed without a hiccup. We have since recommended his service to relatives and friends, and would not hesitate to continue to do so.

When we decided to seriously search for our Florida home, we were naturally a little apprehensive since we did not know too much about the area. Lee quickly put us at ease with the very first phone call. We were pleased with his excellent working knowledge of the market. He guided us through a somewhat difficult closing period, never losing focus & helping us every step of the way. He has gone above & beyond the sale in helping us to get settled more quickly so we can enjoy our Florida retreat. We honestly didn’t expect the ‘golden glove’ treatment we received from Lee.

Mainland Sarasota Buyer

My wife and I were having a very difficult time finding a home which met our requirements. We were working with 2 different real estate agents who kept showing us properties which did not meet our wants. Finally, we met Lee and it was evident that he knew Sarasota very well. Three days later, Lee called me to share that he had found a home which he was certain we would love and asked if I could meet him there within 30 minutes. He told me he didn’t think the house would be on the market for long. That night we made an offer and by noon the next day we were the proud homeowners of our new piece of paradise. Thank you Lee!! We love our magnificent home. More importantly, our boys Harrison and Spencer say they have the greatest yard in all of Sarasota.

Lee knows his market, but more importantly, he knows what it means to be a real buyer’s agent.

Lee qualified our needs and goals and patiently presented property options for two years until we could find the right opportunity. Once found, Lee very effectively led the negotiation process; never once pushing us to move up to close the deal. Lee knew the numbers and, with that, knew where we needed to be to achieve the targeted ROI. In short, Lee is a consummate professional.

We have worked with many realtors over the past thirty years and Lee is truly unique. He guided us brilliantly through the process of clarifying our dream, and executing the purchase. He made the process extremely easy with his extensive knowledge of real estate, investment and the Sarasota area. From our first conversation we were impressed by Lee’s interest in getting to know our lifestyle requirements. This helped us examine in detail what we really wanted, and once we were able to communicate our checklist, he was able to zero in on the properties that fit our needs. We feel well taken care of by Lee. He performed above and beyond, far exceeding our expectations.

I have worked with Lee many times over the last four years and found him to be one of the most professional and honest realtors I’ve every had the pleasure of working with. His attention to detail and commitment is second to none and he has been fully available and helpful at all times. He really knows his market and takes the time to really get to know his clients and their needs.

We had a waterfront house listed on Bird Key. It was a property that I inherited. Built in 1967, it needed a number of cosmetic upgrades. I live hundreds of miles away. Lee and Lisa Mirman not only arranged for the repairs but they kept me and my siblings well informed about the status of the house. The helped negotiate a good price for all cash. I have bought and sold dozens of houses and I have a pretty good feel for the degree of professionalism one encounters in the retail real estate market… I think Lisa and Lee Mirman rank among the best realtors I have ever dealt with. A pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them if you have a property in Sarasota.
