- Frances Sheldon in Sanibel Island and MichiganJust wanted to drop you a line and tell you how pleased Sharon and I were with the process of buying a house on Sanibel and the service you provided.As you know, my time was at a premium, and the schedule I set was quite demanding. You were, however, able to meet my demands without fail, and as a result, we were able to identify the perfect house for our family vacation home in just a couple of days.You ability to understand what we were looking for and show us a house that was just about to come to market, and facilitation of the usual buyer-seller negotiations, was superb. Your coordination of closing and help on all the details of getting services switched over to our name was most helpful. You also took the time to make sure we had an insider's view of all the little things we needed to know, from what vet to use, to where to eat and shop.I found your upfront approach to be quite refreshing. I am sure that your lifelong knowledge of Sanibel is far superior to the vast majority of other realtors selling houses on Sanibel. Your professionalism was greatly appreciated.I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone seeking to purchase on Sanibel/Captiva.
- Mark Schwartz in New YorkDear Phaidra,Thanks for all you do to make us Florida's best!!!
- Budge Husky, Coldwell Banker Florida PresidentTom and I love our new home...We owe it all to you...Great find...Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
- Tom and Liz McDermott in Captiva and Sanibel IslandCongratulations again Phaidra on your selection as a FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agent for a second straight year in a row.
- Gulfshore Life in Naples FloridaTo Whom It May Concern:We tried two different companies and two different agents over a two-and- a- half year period with no results. Within only a few months of choosing Phaidra Velard as our listing agent, our near-beach home sold--- and we were very pleased with the selling price!Frankly, we weren't surprised.Phaidra's enthusiasm, work ethic, efficiency, and marketing skills clearly are superior.Furthermore, throughout our difficult negotiating period, in which she represented both parties, Phaidra demonstrated patience, perspective, professionalism, and equanimity.My advice, then, should come as no surprise: choose Phaidra to help you sell your property--- or to buy one!Did I mention how pleasant it is dealing with her? Phaidra is one of those rare people you look forward to seeing and talking with: she's always cheerful, upbeat, and ready to help. With all of these skills, she'd be highly successful in any field. We're glad she chose real estate! You will be very glad you chose her, too.Thanks, Sarah, Ava, and Jayme VasconcellosPS This, of course, was non-solicited and non-remunerated.
- Sarah, Ava, and Jayme Vasconcellos in Sanibel, FLDear Phaidra,Once again very many thanks to you for everything, needless to say we really couldn't have managed without you and you did it all with such a lovely smile that we never felt we were a nuisance. Thank you also for the mitigation inspection offer, that would be wonderful.We are very excited and will be even more so when we get to try the house out.Enjoy your day.
- John and Sara Stubbing in UKPhaidra,We would like to thank you for selling our house! You were able to put your buyer together with our house for a very successful sale, in one of the worst housing markets of all time! Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance paid off. We are convinced that no one else on the island (or anywhere) could have marketed our house better and closed the deal. We really do appreciate everything that you have done. Thank you very much!
- Donna and John O'BrienDear Phaidra,We can't thank you enough for all the time you spent with us. Even though we found something in Ft. Myers, we ultimately would like to be on Sanibel.We really enjoyed working with you and I think you're a "true" professional and look forward to working with you in the future.Highest Regards,

- Paulette and Russ in SanibelDear Phaidra, You have amazing skill, determination, and focus. This sale is an example of this. Great service that was witnessed by the one year extension nod of approval just before the sale. After many chances, the victory remains with you and your efforts. Congrats! Your accomplishments over the last few months have been superlative. Thank you for allowing me to be your broker. Jay
- Jay Richter in SanibelWe recently had the opportunity to work with the real estate professionals at R. R. Woods on Sanibel Island when we decided to sell our home. I must emphasize the word professionals, as everyone we dealt with, from the secretary answering phones, to our title company personnel, were just that!! When it came to choosing a listing agent, we chose Phaidra McDermott to list our home, knowing first hand of her integrity, knowledge, and get it done attitude. We were not disappointed! Phaidra, in our first meeting, found our expectations, desired time frame, price, etc. then came up with a realistic plan to sell it. After her market analysis of our home, and her suggestions on how to present it, we put it on the market. 10 days later we had a contract, and 6 weeks later we had closed!! We had lived on Sanibel Island for 10 years and were well aware of the current real estate market, so it was very important for us to get the best possible company and professionals representing our home. I would highly recommend this real estate company to anyone looking to buy or sell property on Sanibel or surrounding Lee County as they are truly professionals!! Sincerely, Laurie Taub
- Laurie Taub in Sanibel, FLDear Phaidra, Thank you so much for the delicious gourmet food basket. You didn't have to do that. We have really been enjoying it. Thank you too for your excellent service in selling our unit. We will keep you in mind for future reference. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Gordon and Pamela
- Pamela and Gordon Bell in SanibelDear Phaidra, Its been a whirlwind, thrilling last few months and I could not be happier with the way things have gone and with the house. Much of the credit for that goes to you and your staff. Thanks so much for managing the process so competently and effectively on my behalf. I have had great fun beginning to personalize the space without (I think) disturbing the lovely, peaceful feel of the space. It was nice and fun to get to know you a bit and I look forward to occasionally crossing paths on Sanibel. Thanks again, Breese

- Susan Chrenc in SanibelI worked with Phaidra after working with another local realtor and getting no where. Phaidra is AMAZING! Her knowledge of Sanibel is fantastic. She is personable, a great communicator and answers any email or text message very quickly, many times within minutes. She is the ultimate real estate professional. We ended up seeing about 30+ homes in a long weekend trip to the island and found "our place". She negotiated the deal very well and before we knew it we owned our vacation holiday place. I would recommend Phaidra highly.
- Marvin & Jan Willard in CTI have had the extreme pleasure of working with Phaidra McDermott in the sale of my Captiva, Florida home. Phaidra is the consummate professional. Her demeanor assures you that she is in control that she knows what she is doing and that you will have a good outcome which is what all sellers want. She has a great sense of the market and she knows how to get the job done at a price that makes everyone happy. In our case we sold at a time when the market was still down and yet we came out unscathed. We were happy and the buyer was happy. In the Real Estate climate at that time, that was quite an accomplishment. We love Phaidra and we would never use anyone else for our real estate needs. She grew up in the barrier islands and knows the area inside and out. Phaidra has been in the business for a long time. She is intelligent, organized and no nonsense. Phaidra McDermott will take care of your Real Estate needs as if you are family. You just don't get any better than Phaidra!
