Jennifer C. sold a home in Nokomis

Karie is AMAZING. I am a former real estate attorney who has closed hundreds of residential and commercial deals over the years. I can honestly say, Karies intuition, expertise and level of service far exceeds anyone else I've worked with.

John L. bought a home in Sarasota

I purchased a home through Karie Backman recently. If I ever again look to buy or sell real property in the area, Karie Backman will be my go-to realtor. She is as attentive, knowledgable, and thorough on following up on open matters as the most discriminating client could want. She identified sources for me to consider for inspections and repairs and was ready to help out at every turn. While every realtor wants the transaction to go through, you always felt that Karie wanted the transaction to be right for you or she'd just as soon it be a no-go. As a real estate attorney of many decades and hundreds of closings under my own belt, that was at once refreshing and admirable.

Randi S. bought a home in Venice

Karie was a consummate professional. She worked with me through a long and arduous search (we're talking well over a year) for the perfect home. When the right property appeared, everything fell into place. It was a seamless transaction. Thank you, Karie, for being such a wonderful agent. I would highly recommend Karie to anyone buying or selling in the Sarasota area.

Stacie H. bought a home in Sarasota

Karie is one of the most positive and responsive realtors I have ever encountered!!! She handled our delicate situation with the utmost professionalism and care and got us a ton of competitive offers on our home. She answered all of my daily questions without any annoyance and I felt she truly cared about helping me through the process. I highly recommend her!
