Robert did an excellent job in marketing my property and finding the right buyer! He successfully negotiated the deal on both sides, saving me on commission costs and keeping all parties in the loop with communication. He successfully navigated the City of Bradenton and spent hours trying to figure out who was the right person to work out some last-minute issues. I have known Robert for years, and he has been my go-to guy for numerous properties, both on the buying and selling side. He knows the market and will provide great advice on pricing and negotiating. You couldn't be in better hands than with him guiding you through the real estate process!
I will try to make this long story short. My 87-year-old mom has been living on Siesta Key since the 80s. When Hurricane Ian hit a couple of years ago, she had lost power for quite a while. We live in NH, so it was tough trying to get a hold of her to make sure she was okay. I happened to be on a Siesta Key group on Facebook, where I met Robert Hanna of Preferred Shore Realty. He was offering to go out and check on people to make sure they were safe. I messaged him, and that very day, he was out checking on my mom along with many other folks. He called me from his cell and let me hear my mother’s voice. I can’t begin to tell you what a relief that was. Since then, I have been trying to get Mom to move up to New Hampshire with us, but she loved Sarasota and did not want to leave her home until this year when the area got hit hard with Hurricane Helene and then Milton. Her home was flooded…

He called me from his cell and let me hear my mother’s voice. I can’t begin to tell you what a relief that was. Since then, I have been trying to get Mom to move up to New Hampshire with us, but she loved Sarasota and did not want to leave her home until this year when the area got hit hard with Hurricane Helene and then Milton. Her home was flooded out by Helene and Milton two weeks later did not help matters. After that, she decided that she no longer wanted to be on her own in her home anymore, so we made emergency plans to come down to Florida and get her, save what belongings she had, load up a U-Haul, and move up here and put her home on the market. Knowing Robert is a realtor, and how he gives back to the community, I called him and listed the house. He not only sold her home, but he and his family took my mom in at their home until we could get down there. He also arranged the clean-up of the home, and he and his wife did a lot of it themselves. That says a lot about a person. He genuinely cares for others. Her home sold within a month, and Robert was very professional and thorough with communication on what offers were coming in and how we should proceed. We just closed on the home yesterday, and it was fast and easy. Robert is very familiar with the area, knows how to get a sale closed in the best interest of his clients. If you are looking to list your home or are interested in buying a home in the area, Robert Hanna of Preferred Shore Realty is top-notch. We are so grateful to have met and worked with him!
Robert Hanna is probably the best Realtor in Sarasota. As someone who has used four other Realtors, the difference with Robert was night and day. Our recent purchase would not have happened with any other Realtor. He was informative, curious, creative, solved problem after problem, was connected with contractors who performed timely work, and communicated with me every step of the way. My family and I are very appreciative and recommend Robert to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Robert Hanna is a top-of-the-game realtor. We had this house on the market with another realtor for four months and no offers. Robert gave me the hard truth on what it would take to sell this house in today's market. He advertised the house, including important information that the other realtor did not. He had a contract on day four. I would recommend Robert to anyone. Good job, thank you, Robert.
