My name is Joan Winters and I began my real estate career here in Sarasota in 2011. My background is in behavior analysis, family therapy and policy and procedure development. This means I come to you with expert assessment and negotiation skills, patience, understanding, attention to detail, and the ability to educate. These abilities truly lend themselves to successful transactions and positive client relationships. They pave the way for navigating the complexities of the contract and ensuring that all goes smoothly from offer to closing, (in what is typically a stressful process). In fact, a very important part of my job is to alleviate this stress as much as possible, and I do so by providing you with all the information you need to make the best decisions you can. Informed decisions start here.
I understand the importance of being available and responsive to your calls and questions.. Of providing feedback regarding your listings and/or the availability of other properties to see.
I have sold Gulf Front condos on Siesta, investment properties on Anna Maria and Longboat Key,, rental units in Bradenton. first time buyer homes in Sarasota, Intracoastal waterfront boating villas, suburban homes in Palmer Ranch, beach condos in Venice, single family homes in Osprey, estate properties in Lakewood Ranch. Probate listings and foreclosures. I am not afraid to seek out expert advice where warranted.
I love to help people happily have successful transactions.
And I love what I do.
Testimonials
"Joan assisted us in purchasing a beach house in 5/17 on LBK. Want to let you know how incredibly happy we are. We rented it for the first 2 years and then completely renovated inside & out making it our winter home. People constantly slow down and tell us they love our house, many interested in buying it. The counsel you gave us on the location west of Gulf of Mexico Drive was extremely valuable. Several houses on our street turned over in the past 3 years making it an extremely hip neighborhood with a great vibe. It is the only neighborhood west of Gulf of Mexico Drive on LBK. Just wanted to thank you. ? ? ? ? ? Michael O’Brien"

"Working with Joan made the stressful process of selling and buying at the same time much easier. Joan is knowledgeable and was a strong advocate for us. She was our realtor when we bought our first home in Bradenton. We knew when we were going to sell and move to Palmetto we would want to work with Joan again! She’s personable and professional. I recommend Joan to anyone who is buying or selling a home. She made us feel like we were her priority and made great recommendations on how to sell our home in a short period of time. She responded to any questions we had quickly and honestly. If we should ever need a realtor in the future we will continue to work with Joan. Melissa P. Palmetto, FL"

"Because her hard work & dedication Joan Winters made the ownership of our dream of owning the perfect property on Siesta Key possible. Joan took the time to get to know our family, our taste, & our interests. She then carefully selected properties that would be of interest to us. Her attention to our needs & her honesty spoke to her integrity & professionalism. She was encouraging & insightful going the extra mile to follow up on a property that we thought was unattainable & helped us to negotiate by forging a relationship with with the listing agent which led to a happy agreement for us & the sellers. Joan should be commended for her dedication to clients & her endless research. Joan comes highly recommended, a wonderful experience & great person to work with. We have so much to be thankful for & would not be where we are without her help. ? ? ? ? ? Paula Kindle"
