Yippeeee!
 Even though it seems like forever while its going on, you got it sold very quickly in this market. Your hard work didn't go un-noticed with several neighbors and I had several comments from them like 'I'll say one thing about your realtor...he works for you. He is always over there working or checking on things'.
Glad I was lucky enough to have called you!

This is one great burden off of our shoulders.  You did a great job and we will recommend you to all of our friends who still live down there.  Best wishes. 

Thanks again, Melinda and Wallis Hampson

Ann and Mike Winger are the best in the business.  They have taken professionalism and personality to a new level.  They know everything about the area and the properties in Sarasota county.  We couldn't be happier with our new home and the great service we had, even during the collapse of the financial markets at the time.  We are happy now to consider them friends.

Hi Mike and Ann,

We are greatly appreciative for all the both of you did in making the search for the right place an
enjoyable experience. Without your help we definitely would have been in a mess! Christi and I had
no idea where to start or where to look and you both made sure we went in the right direction.
So I must say I learned a lot during the weeks we searched about what not to look for and what to act
upon when we saw it. As far as the new house goes we are working as quickly as we can with 3 kids!
We are painting the interior top to bottom, replacing all the vents, outlets and switches throughout.
We just bought a complete set of appliances from someone who is unfortunately loosing their house
to foreclosure. They were all 1 year old and very modern GE equipment. We got a dishwasher, glass
top stove, side by side fridge, under cabinet micro, washer and dryer for 600. So sometimes others
misfortune is another's fortune as you all know too well! We'll be in touch and have you over when we
get it all settled. Thanks again!

Mike and Ann,
Thank you so much for all of your help to get my difficult short sale completed with such efficiency. As a former Real Estate Paralegal I have worked with many Realtors and have never come across a Realtor that works as passionately and diligently as you do, to get a sale closed. You were extremely, professional, knowledgeable, and honest throughout my entire deal which I really appreciate. From the very beginning you took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and spent a considerable amount of time advertising my home and making the most eye catching and appealing fliers as well as a virtual tour. Even when the banks were taking way too much time and we could have lost the deal, you made sure to spend time calling and emailing them every day and I'm certain that if it wasn't for you, the
banks slow action would have surely caused the buyers to walk away. I am also very impressed by how you answered my calls and emails within the hour on almost every occasion and I really felt that you were constantly looking out for my best interest even if it meant the deal may not have gone through. I could not have asked for a better Realtor and will definitely be raving to all of my friends about your talents while recommending that they use you for all of their sale and purchase needs.
Sincerely,
Candace Ortiz

Dear Mike and Ann, 

What can I say?  You were GREAT! 

This was a long distance purchase.  I found a waterfront home for sale on the Internet.  It sounded too good to be true, so we were hesitant.  My daughter Christine and her husband Gary recommended Mike, and we are so glad they did.  Mike walked us through the process, we made an offer, they countered, we accepted and then the fun began.  It’s a great little house but it needs a lot of work to be a cozy second home on the water.  Everything we needed, Mike arranged:  Inspections, Insurance, Financing, Electricity, Water & Sewer, Remodeling resources of all kinds, and even a contact person for getting the canal dredged. 

I would highly recommend Mike and Ann Winger without reservation.  Mike was always available to me.  His responses to my emails were so timely, I felt like I was in a “chat room”.  When Mike was unavailable to me due to circumstances beyond his control, Ann knew exactly what was going on and absolutely no time was wasted “catching up”.  They made what could have been a very difficult process a pleasure. 

Thank you so very much. 

Sincerely,

Donna & John Menger

Dear Mike and Ann,

THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU ,THANK YOU......

We just wanted to let you know ,what a great experience it was, finding our new home in Bradenton. JUST WONDERFUL!!!!!  What an amazing difference from the Realtors we had to deal with in Orlando.(Day and night).You guys should consider giving real estate classes to show other Realtors how it's done right!!! From finding the right home till closing and beyond it was honest, professional but best of all personal, that we found new friends in you.

Mike -  thank you so much for all your updates and all your information you provided, also for finding a great title company to save us money, and to make the move and everything else so much easier for us.

Ann - thanks for all your time on the phone calming me down, when things didn't run smoothly in Orlando, thanks for inviting us over to your house and giving me inspirations and an actual drawing on how to make a great office space. Loved your food!!

You both went above and beyond with what we expected. We will make sure that we refer you to anybody in need of buying or selling their home. Also we really appreciated the generous cash back from your commission by closing.
We can't thank you enough..   Daniela, Dominic and the 2 boys

Mike and Ann:  Karen and I would like to thank you so much for the great service you provided in selling our home in Sarasota and then helping us find a home in Palm Harbor. Every aspect of both transactions was handled in a professional manner. Your quick response to any questions or issues that arose was most impressive. We also were thankful for your reccomendations and assistance with financing, home inspections, insurance, and a title company for the closing.  It made the whole process so much easier working with such great competent realtors. Thanks again, and we wish you continued success at something you both do very well.

Best regards,
Fred and Karen Williams.

Subject: Outstanding Real Estate performance and Thank you!
Dear Mike and Ann:

 What can we say about your performance as our Real Estate agents over the past month.  A lot! and it’s all great!

From start to finish the whole transaction was honest, smooth and thorough.  We would recommend your service to everyone interested in the Florida Real Estate market.  You two truly provide the best product available.

My wife, Dee, and I had been looking for a property to purchase in the Sarasota/Longboat Key area for a few years.  We had contacted several Real Estate Agents over that time and had encountered agents either not willing to follow up with us or ones with MLS listings that typically provided only 5-10 properties that fit our broad requirements.  Within 2 hours of submitting our request to you at “ringthewingers.com”, we had a list of over 150 properties that fit our description sent to us, and personal calls from both you and Ann.  Something no other Real Estate company was willing to provide prior to this.

Dee and I were so excited that we spent 6 hours that night pouring over all the information on the properties and created a spread sheet that allowed us to compare the items in our new found treasure…….a “stack” of property listings to choose from……and they all fit our requirements!  Within a day we kept coming back to 1 specific property.  Unfortunately, the description on the property was a bit sketchy (lacking pictures and a few important details) due to the fact that it was a new listing and the listing agent was having physical problems getting around.  But again you and Ann surprised us.  You called the listing agent and found all the information we needed to advance our prospects of purchasing the property; you personally drove out to inspect the property, and arranged to pick up my wife at the Sarasota airport the next day to allow her to inspect the property herself.  Upon Dee’s visit, where you were most gracious in picking her up at the airport and driving her to the property, she was elated with the property!  We put a bid on it the next day, and the closing was set for about 20 days later.

Mike, imagine that.  All within 4 days of contacting you and Ann, Dee and I accomplished something we had been unable to do over the past 3 years!  And within 25 days were the proud new owners of our dream property!

I would enjoy speaking or e-mailing with other potential buyers or customers about your service, feel free to pass this note on.  You and Ann are great real estate agents, and wonderful people.
-----------------------------------------

For anyone else who may want to know more details, this was an easy purchase for us, but in no way was it a simple transaction for Mike and Ann.  Items I failed to mention, but were essential to getting the property purchased were:

• We live in Atlanta, the seller lives in St.Louis, and the closing was held in Sarasota, with neither party attending.
• The property had a previous offer fall through literally hours before ours came in.  Mike and Ann made our offer be known swiftly and accurately to the sellers.
• The Wingers were in constant contact with us about several issues on going.  All phone calls were promptly answered.
• A third party was legally representing the seller.
• Mike and Ann “always” informed us of what the priorities were through the entire process.
• My wife travels constantly for her job, which makes it tricky to coordinate signatures required in Real Estate paperwork.  Some how, the Wingers were able to make me almost forget to include this point.  They helped coordinate the timing of all of it.  What had to be done for the short day that my wife was home.  It all worked.
• The selling agent was having severe ambulatory back pains, and Mike and Ann worked with him to “get it done” in a sensitive way. Outstanding!
• Mike and Ann helped arrange potential companies to handle the title, home inspection, insurance, lending, and pest inspection. Also coordinated property association paperwork, local utilities information, critical dates for loans, closing and inspection.  We didn’t use all of them, but we never felt pressured to either.  The ones we did use were all reputable professionals.
• To top it all off, the Wingers gave us back thousands of dollars with their money back offer, all spelled out in the papers at closing!
• Mike and Ann met with me personally at my first visit to the new property and were still helping me with several “new home owner” issues.  Still helping!
• I honestly cannot say enough about how good the Wingers were in this purchase.  This is the 4^th property my wife and I have purchased together, and we have never experienced such support in any of the three previous transactions.  And the three previous purchases were done in the same town we lived in!
  

I know this all may sound a bit too good; like Mike and Ann are close to Sainthood, but in Real Estate transactions, I do believe in angels.  I guess that’s where the “WINGERS” fit in.  Truly a blessing in what has the potential to be a hellish experience.
Please give Mike and Ann a try, especially if you’ve had any bad experiences in the past.  They will help you put your mind at ease!
-----------------------------------------
Mike and Ann, we wish you all the success in the world. Thanks for everything!Best regards, Kevin and Dee (kdrl@Bellsouth

It is difficult for me to describe and document how wonderful Ann & Mike Winger were to deal with through the out of state process of purchasing our second home.  I myself am in the mortgage business and have had many dealings with local realtors and have never met such down to earth genuinely kind people.  Not only did they go above and beyond to make the transaction happen smoothly and efficiently, Ann actually met the furniture company at the condominium a month after the closing to accept my furniture delivery.  She even vacuumed!   I know that we have made friends for life and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone that I know.

Dear Mike and Ann:
 I feel compelled to write a few words in regards to our home purchase.  Myself and Christine looked at several homes for sale including and attending numerous open houses....only to be "pressured" by sales people.  This made the experience, not only hard but frustrating.  After calling your phone number listed on the for sale sign I expected the same;  To our surprise, you were totally the opposite.  Yourself and Ann treated us like we were old friends and I never had any doubt that you would see the deal through to the end with every body's interest involved.  We bought a beautiful house in the City of North Port and can not be happier.  You spent a lot of effort, even when the deal was in jeopardy, for that I thank you!  

On a personal note, I have been a police officer for over 15 years and am currently a Police Officer for the City of North Port.  Believe me when I tell you I know good people from the bad.  We put all of our trust into you and Ann, without any type of agent working on our behalf and I still never had a doubt about your character.  I would highly recommend you to anyone that asks for assistance in real estate...in fact, will continue to use your services in the future.  Good luck and thank you.

P.S.  Mike would gladly wait for HOURS for an insect inspection report....just ask him.

There are two words to describe Ann and Mike Winger. They’re Great!

They were very helpful and very professional. They were there for any questions to be answered. They were also friendly and even after the sale they were there for us. We really felt that they were with us, they felt like friends.

Kitty and I purchased a house in February 2005 and we had a great time doing it. We used Ann and Mike Winger as our real estate agents. Ann and Mike really care; they took a personal interest in our getting the exact house we wanted in a price range we could afford. They are bright, happy people who are a pleasure to work with.  They are very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and are not shy about asking the tough questions. Because of them we were able to purchase the house of our dreams. I recommend them whether you are buying or selling.
