Working with Bill has been the best experience we have ever had while buying or selling real estate. As out of state buyers, bill made the process of buying a home in Venice Florida fun and enjoyable, particularly since the market was so crazy this year. He was determined to find something that would work for us, even after we had given up and decided to wait. He was right, because prices only sky rocketed after we made our deposit. He found us exactly what we wanted, I think he knew better what we actually wanted than we understood at the moment. We would definitely highly recommend

If you want the best go with this guy! Over the years I have worked with Bill on 5 different transactions and he always delivered great results. He's easy to work with, always answering calls and immediately responding to any question or concern. Bill has over 20 years of local real estate sales experience and would be a great choice to help you buy or sell a property.

Dan B Bill really knows his stuff. He also knows this area like the back of his hand. A few years ago, he helped us find a great house, which wasn't easy as it was a tight market. Now, we are selling, and he has helped us tremendously. He sold our house in 10 days AND got over our asking price. Both amazing feats in the current market. But he didn't stop there. He has walked us through all of the buying and selling process. Taking a big load off our shoulders. Couldn't ask for a better realtor. Thanks Bill!

Bill Garrison did a great job selling my Sorrento Woods home. He had several potential buyers lined up before we listed and sold it to the first buyer so it was totally stress-free. No “for sale” sign needed! In fact, he sold 3 homes on my street in the same month and everybody said he did a great job was wonderful to deal with. Bill also helped me with all of the details of moving plus worked with a realtor in Colorado to find me a home there. Thank you so much, Bill!

Bill and Gina are honestly first class. We were looking to sell our unit and they worked tirelessly until they got the job done. Took my calls every time and never got bothered (I’m Annoying 😂) They handled the closing like true professionals since we live outside of manatee county. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you both for an amazing business transaction! professionals since we live outside of manatee county. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you both for an amazing business transaction!

Bill is very humorous, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market, which makes buying and selling a good experience. He helps you make good decisions, and advises you against poor ones, even if it would have made him a sale.

Todd B I came to the area in 2015 looking to see what property was available and the cost. It was not “must have” but we were interested. We had dealt with another realtor who was not responsive and were about to give up. Then we met Bill Garrison, and everything changed. He was very friendly, hospitable, Professional and negotiated for a property to get us the best price. Ever since, he has been a good friend and keeps us informed about real estate in the area. He took the time to reach out to us when He found another property that He felt we could appreciate. He was correct. He knows the area and his customers extremely well. This was our second buy with Bill Garrison, and I don’t believe it will be our last. You will be very pleased if you choose Bill to Represent you in all your real estate needs in the Sarasota, Venice, Manasota Key and Englewood areas.

Kyle and Tori L Bill is hands down the best realtor you can trust with your next home purchase. 4 years ago, Bill helped us find our first house in a very fast paced market. He was attentive to our requests, and we couldn’t be happier with our buying experience. His knowledge in real estate is unmatched! Fast forward to today, and Bill delivered yet again. His no-nonsense approach and negotiating skills helped us secure the contract for our dream home. If you’re serious about buying a home in the Sarasota/Venice area, Bill is the guy to talk to!

When we met Bill, I knew immediately that we were in good hands! I'm a real estate agent of many years in another state and I've seen the good and the bad. Bill is hands down one of the good ones! He acted as our buyer's agent on a home purchase in Venice and was able to negotiate a price that was significantly lower than we had expected! The entire buying process from offer to home inspection to finding insurance and on to the closing was easy and painless. Soup to nuts our association with Bill Garrison has been terrific...highly recommend whether you're buying or selling!

Tracy S Choosing a REALTOR is a serious decision, like hiring an attorney or financial advisor you want someone who has your best interests in mind. Dedicated, Researched, and Seasoned: Bill Garrison was amazing! Where it takes days to hear back from realtors, he has responded within minutes, sometimes even seconds. He showed us properties that many other realtors wouldn't go the extra mile to avoid; by narrowing down homes age, condition, property value and to look into the future of the home. Giving us valuable insights and ensuring that our needs were met now and in what lies ahead. He was extremely accommodating regarding scheduling viewings and making himself available on short notice when necessary. We appreciate your help Bill so much! The level of service our agent provided was exceptional. He was not just knowledgeable but also remarkably caring and honest. He always kept us informed and made sure we were comfortable with every decision. We could not have done it without him and wouldn’t have asked for a better person to help us find our home!!

Bill did a great job being our buyers agent to a purchase a new house in the Venice area. His experience and knowledge of the area was a great asset for us to have to evaluate the housing market where we wanted to purchase. His advice and negotiating skills led to a reduced purchase price on the newly constructed home that my wife and I were interested in. I enjoyed working with Bill and his humor always brought a smile to my face. I wouldn't hesitate to use his sevices again because of my trust in him. If you are looking in the Venice area give Bill a shot at being your realtor.

We chose to work with Bill after a lengthy discussion about the Sarasota. Bill understood that moving to Florida from Northern Ohio was not going to be an easy task. For months we would fly down on the weekends and sometimes during the week to look at homes with Bill. He was happy to accommodate us and drop all of his plans and devote his time and attention to our needs. He worked with us as we looked at homes and covered just about everything neighborhood from Manasota key to Siesta key and further north into Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton. After finding our home he stayed on top of the process and made several trips to the house for inspections and whatever else needed to be done without hesitation. Bill is a good guy and fun to work with through the home buying process.

Bill has been an excellent realtor. Not only did he help us find a condo while still living in Nashville TN, but he also remained responsive to all our questions after we arrived. Bill made this a pleasurable experience when it could have been a nightmare for a sight-unseen purchase. After this transaction, we decided we wanted to become full-time residents of Venice, FL. Bill found us a wonderful realtor to sell our home in Nashville. He then found and a beautiful full-time home in Pelican Point that we love, helped us with all of the mortgage and paperwork got it closed quickly. He then sold our Venice condominium in a week at a big profit even though we only owned it for a few months. We would highly recommend Bill Garrison to handle all your transactions.

Bill is your MAN! We needed his local expertise, and he delivered.
My wife and I are relocating our family of 6 down to FL from KY. We only had 1 week to find and get pending on a house. I warned Bill that I had my whole family with me and we needed to find a place quick. Even if we werent his typical customer, Bill treated us with the utmost priority and care. We had trouble with a couple things, but Bill was the peace in our storm. His experience with that area and connections are invaluable.
If you are looking for someone who will take care of you and not simply desire to move property, then look no further!
