Lisa Rooks Morris Testimonials Self-described "real estate junkies," my husband and I had purchased 21 homes/vacation properties prior to working with Lisa. In many cases, we gave up working with realtors because we found the experience to be so negative. Friends in our Lido Shores community always raved about how Lisa could get things done that other realtors could not do. So, with the selling and purchasing of homes 22, 23, and 24, we have worked with Lisa and we are so pleased with what she brings to the table. Easy to talk to, incredibly professional, and always looking out for her clients. She is the perfect realtor to assist you with any sale or purchase in the Sarasota/Longboat Key region. - KIMBERLY PETERSEN Lisa is simply by far and away the best agent we have ever known. She is brilliant, very strategic in her approach, has great judgement. Furthermore, she is warm, personable and easy to deal with. She is in contact with all of the existing and upcoming developments in town. She knows the market and has a good understanding how prices are trending. I could not imagine giving a stronger recommendation. - CHARLES PARRISH

Lisa was wonderful to work with over the many months on our journey to transition to Sarasota, FL. She sent us places to look at online while we were still in Colorado so that she could get to know us and what our preferences would be with regard to location and style. Once we arrived in Sarasota, Lisa spent an entire holiday weekend with us to look at available land, talk with architects and visit potential homes. Once we picked out the home we wanted to purchase, Lisa and her staff were efficient, thorough, and 'user friendly' in helping us to get a contract in place. Finally, Lisa was not only our Realtor, she was also our Sarasota tour guide. We are happy to say that Lisa was instrumental in helping us acquire our Sarasota dream home. - BARBARA JAMPOLIS Lisa was a warm, friendly, and very professional agent from interview to sale, and was always available, along with her team, to help us with the challenges of a remote sale. She has an excellent grasp of the Sarasota market and understood exactly the strengths and weaknesses of our property. Her pricing estimate was exactly what we were offered, and as a result of her assistance, there were no surprises throughout the process. We never felt anything but 100% commitment on her part to our satisfaction with the process and would recommend her without reservations. - ROBERTO ARGUEDAS © 2023 DOUGLAS ELLIMAN REAL ESTATE.

Julie went above and beyond in every aspect and we are grateful for her expertise, warmth, and enthusiastic support. We would absolutely and whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for the best of the best professional to handle their real estate needs. - Beverly K.

Julie was an absolute delight to work with! From start to finish, her responsiveness, extensive knowledge, resourcefulness & upbeat, positive, warm & friendly personality made for a very smooth transaction. She went above & beyond to ensure our purchase came together without a hitch. Moving from NJ to FL & buying our house sight unseen, Julie made things feel like we were right there with her during several video calls. We are very grateful for everything Julie did for us & cannot recommend her enough. Thank you very much!! - Josh and Beth C.

Julie is a consummate professional in all aspects of representation. She and Lisa developed a pricing strategy that resulted in $200k over list gain in the offers, additional contract terms that were most favorable to me as the seller, and the sale of all the contents for a high price. I could not be more pleased. That says it all, and yes you should sign your agreement with her if you are reading these reviews and in the agent selection process. I had interviewed 4 agents. She stayed in continuous contact with information, through even the pre agreement process. - David H.-

Julie was so great to work with. She helped us find a property that was only on the market a few minutes. She then went and did a video call with us that night (we are out of town) and helped us submit an offer that night. She always kept us up to date as we went through the process and ensured a smooth closure. She is very professional and thorough. Cannot recommend her enough! - Eric and Heather B.
