From the minute we found Sue on her website and she responded to our request for information, we knew we had found the perfect realtor for us. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, and helped us so much in filtering through possibilities. She helped us avoid a couple of buying pitfalls, which we so much appreciated. She never pushed, just gently lead us towards our final goal of purchasing the perfect place for us. She is a great negotiater - her skills kicked into high gear at just the right time! We highly recommend Sue and her staff to anyone looking for an honest, forthright and energetic realtor. Less

When we came to see houses, Sue had several viewings set up in advance with convenient timings and introduced us to the area in a very positive way. Being from outside the area, there were many things that we needed help with. Sue was very responsive. She gave us both the pros and cons which allowed us to make informed decisions and she helped link us to other local services that proved to be reliable. She is very personable.

We were so fortunate to have Sue Carlson as our real estate agent on Anna Maria Island. Her knowledge of AMI and her skills as a real estate professional helped us fulfill our dream of finding the perfect home on Anna Maria. She's the best!

?When we went looking for our beach cottage we were blessed to find Sue Carlson. We told her our budget and that we wanted to be as close to the beach as we could; we'd been told my numerous Realtors that our expectations were unrealistic. Through Sue we bought our dream cottage 2 blocks from the water in the perfect neighborhood for us; she gave us spectacular advice, understood what we wanted, and we found the right place. It was not a straight forward negotiation as the seller was immovable; Sue gave us solid, honest advice and helped us close the deal. It is obvious that Sue does not do her job for the money; she loves Anna Maria Island and the surrounding area, and loves helping people achieve their dreams. You won't find a Realtor with more Knowledge and Integrity anywhere.? Less

Sue Carlson is owner-agent of An Island Place Realty on Anna Maria Island located on the Florida Gulf Coast, west of Bradenton. We first met Sue when we rented a vacation home from her in Feb. 2011. In Sept. 2011, after many emails, we met with Sue to find a vacation home on the island. We have owned 14 homes from Michigan to Florida, and have never worked with a more dedicated and professional realtor. Sue spent many hours showing us properties and always gave us honest and accurate comments. She doesn't work 9-5, but works with you until everything is done. One is drawn right away to her warm and outgoing personality. You start out as clients, but quickly become friends. Upon closing on our dream house, Sue was Wonder Woman. She attended the house inspection, found a repairman to complete repairs before the closing, and suggested landscape and pool service providers, etc. This was a valuable service to us, as we were in Michigan during this process. We look forward to spending our winters on AMI. We would highly recommend Sue for both realtor and rental services. Jay and Kathie Price Lake City, Michigan Less

Sue Carlson is the owner-agent for An Island Place Realty located on Anna Maria Island on Florida's Gulf Coast near Sarasota. Sue was instrumental in our purchase of a lovely condominium located on the beach in Longboat Key. What we initially drew us to Sue was her sunny, cheerful personality and her friendly, approachable demeanour. But what really impressed us about Sue as our transaction unfolded was her outstanding customer service. We are Canadian residents who had never bought property in Florida before. We met Sue and she spent lots of time patiently showing us various properties and educating us about the local market. She gave us good guidance when we decided to make our purchase. Needless to say, we were concerned about completing the transaction by long distance. This is where Sue added tremendous value-add: she kept on top of the transaction through every step. She attended at the final inspection, took an inventory for us, attended at closing and sent us the keys. She recommended insurance agents, service providers, trades, painters, etc. She kept in contact and made sure we were happy and fully informed right through. Most importantly, she has remained a friend to this day and we have happily recommended her excellent services whenever we can. Diane and Steve, Toronto, Canada Less
