      - Amanda Hewins
    • For nearly 20 years, I have known Mr. Ziad Sleit as a realtor, a businessperson, and a friend. He has helped my wife and me with several Sarasota area real estate transactions. From our first meeting, it was obvious that he is not like any other realtor. Ziads market knowledge, attention to detail, and customer-first approach are second to none. He recognizes the value of long-term clients and constantly works to serve their best interests. Most importantly, Ziad carries himself with the highest ethical and moral standards in his business and in his life. This enables him to forge lasting, trusting relationships with industry professionals, support service providers, and ancillary personnel. As a result, Ziad has proven himself invaluable as our advocate in both purchase and sale transactions. I am thrilled to have Ziad as our realtor and proud to call him a friend. Verified by Zillow.

    • First home buyerI am grateful that I was finally able to buy a home and had my dear friend help me every step of the way! Ziad worked the deal with my full confidence and trust. He put me in contact w a lender to where I was approved within a couple days with all the paperwork completed. Then we found the perfect little home for me and my lifestyle. This man knows his business very well and has his clients best interest in mind. He worked the deal of a lifetime: was able to convey all the major appliances, a new roof, the sellers to come up with half of the closing costs, and come down on the price bc the property would not appraise. With Ziads tremendous knowledge in his industry he was able to make this deal work with no hiccups and closed on time. Not only did he help me but also assisted my dear friend close on his home less than a month after mine. I highly recommended Ziad to anyone looking to invest in real estate rather it be vacant land, a single family home, commercial intense, or a multi family property! Put your trust and faith in him and he will NOT let you down!Verified by RateMyAgent

He took the time to listen to what I wanted/needed, gave me suggestions that I hadn't thought of. He also protected me from making the wrong deal as well as an over priced deal. His background in Construction/Contracting was a huge benefit. A very meticulous/detailed individual. I would HIGHLY recommend Ziad to anyone.Verified by RateMyAgent
