“Excellent Testimonial I typically do not write reviews, but the outstanding service I received from Bernard “BJ” Jones of the Michael Saunders team calls for an exception. BJ was the ultimate professional for the job. He is incredibly knowledgeable of current market trends, and was very helpful and straight forward with just the right advice to prepare my home for a smooth and successful sale. I left him in charge, and he sold my home within a few days! It was a pleasant experience, as he knew exactly what to do at every step of the process and responded quickly to any inquiry I had. BJ provided top notch “white glove” service and I would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. ”

“Re: 18037 Ohara Drive, Port Charlotte, Fl Before putting my vacant lot up for sale, I did some research on various real estate firms, and was not too impressed. I was then referred by a friend to try BJ Jones at Michael Saunders & Company. In our first meeting, he took the time to explain some of the history of Michael Saunders and presented me with a complete marketing strategy for the sale of my property. It gave me a complete understanding and overview of what the histories were on other sales and pending sales in the area. In addition, he took the time to explain about feasibility studies in Florida and what could transpire after it was completed. It left me with little or no questions later on in the completion of the sale. His patience and understanding with my lack of updated computer software at times also proved to me he was not lacking in any customer service. I am happy I listed my property with Michael Saunders and it was a pleasure working with BJ. I will definitely reach out to them when I decide to sell my home. Thank you, Ms. Wagoner”

“Can we give BJ a 10 and not a 5 star rating. Seriously. Our relationship with BJ started before he helped us find our perfect home. He was also the agent selling the previous property we rented for two years. The home was for sale, and this entailed over 20 walk throughs and three open houses. As renters, the inconvenience of such can be overwhelming; not when you are working with BJ. He is professional, respectful, and holds the utmost integrity. We had such a strong relationship from that connection, we sought his expertise as our own realtor when we began looking for a home. His expertise, education and connections helped us so immensely we could have actually closed in 15 days. He Is The Connector. He IS the realtor you want who will listen to your needs and desires and make it a solid fit for you and your family. The exercise he has you perform to list your "deal breakers, needs and desires" nailed our deal on the second home we toured. Why was it so fast? Because he took the time to get to know us. Thank you, BJ, for being the person you are because most anyone can be a realtor or broker. Few can be BJ. Respectfully, Peggy Willms and Dana Villadsen”

“Moving from out of state can be a time consuming endeavor having to find a home while being thousands of miles away. BJ made it easy. He presented us with options while at the same time informing us on the pros and cons of the houses or areas we were interested in. From boat access, to tidal reports, to shopping, and desirable neighborhoods, he was always available, responsive and honest. He even took us fishing and showed us all the good fishing holes...”

“BJ is a consumate professional and just an all around good person. He handled every aspect of my land purchase to a perfection. Not only is BJ a professional, he is a good person to have in your corner. He knows the people in the area and can connect you to them so that you can make a purchase and align with the necessary resources without a hitch. He understands the urgency of delivering the offer correctly and does it with the proper followup and professionalism that allows you to win your deal. For my purchase there were environmental and marine study's that needed to occur prior to closing and BJ stayed on top of those needs to make sure that they happened on time. BJ has my highest possible recommendation! Thank you BJ for getting the job done right! Looking forward to that fishing trip once we get settled in!”

Tanya Trokan

“Where do I even begin? Bj is not only professional, he is kind and caring. He treats every property as a top priority with the up most importance. I couldn't imagine having worked with anyone else. He gave me the best experience selling my house and he really went above and beyond. I highly recommend him to everyone.”

Alex C.

“BJ was extremely professional, thorough, and consistently up to date regarding the market throughout our entire selling process. He was critical in helping us experience a successful transaction for which we were very happy with. We are so pleased that I've recommended him to family!”

Harry Jones

“BJ was the most crucial element in our search for a Florida home. He was diligent in suggesting properties that met our changing wishes as our search evolved and was tireless in taking us to see them. His knowledge of the housing market and the need to act quickly and decisively brought us success in purchasing the home we wanted. BJ was also a great help in negotiating with sellers and their agents. His referral of insurance, inspection and mortgage providers was spot on. In addition to all of this BJ has a sense of humor and a fine personality. My wife and I will always consider him a friend. Thank you, Liz and Harry Jones”

Holly Nilson

“Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, business-friendly, focused, and best of all-active listening, active doing! BJ has found us what we wanted and made the whole process clear & achievable in a short period of time. Thanks! Holly (& Dave)”

“BJ Jones is a consummate professional and performed an outstanding service for me in marketing and selling my house in Punta Gorda, Florida. The thing that separates BJ Jones and Michael Saunders & Company from other realtors is that they spent a significant sum of money and time marketing my house domestically and internationally in print and social media to prospective buyers. They paid for a professional photographer to take high quality photos and videos to market my house. I was very impressed with the video and drone footage which showed boating access to and from my home. I was out of the country for most of the listing period, and BJ went beyond the call of duty in helping me coordinate inspections and service providers. He would even pick up palm fronds from my property, and there are a lot of palm trees on the property. I have been a real estate lawyer for more than 30 years and I cannot say enough complimentary things about BJ. I have already recommended BJ Jones and Michael Saunders & Company to other friends, and will continue to do so in the future. I give BJ Jones a 5 Star Rating!”
