As a life planning pathfinder, I handled the property sale for my client, who had received your Shiparski Group Venetian Falls market updates and informative postcards over the years. After our first discussion, I felt we were well aligned. Communication was frequent and effective. I appreciated your professionalism and follow through. Keep up the fantastic work! You are the best real estate team I have ever worked with for myself or my clients.
Aaron V. – Venetian Falls
Your assistance in obtaining the best fair selling price in a timely fashion, your efficient means of handling all documents, plus directing us to sound legal assistance as we were not present at the time, was excellent. We appreciated your dedication to us, the consistent communication throughout the process, and your service appears to be locked on to perfection. Thank you for all your efforts!
Bernie and Mary Lou A. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie are very knowledgeable about current market conditions. They will evaluate your property and give you honest opinions as to what you can do to make your property sell for the most value. They are wonderful communicators and are always willing to have conversations with you if you have concerns. From offer to closing, I was always kept in the loop as to what was going on and informed of the next steps I needed to take. I highly recommend the Shiparski Group to handle any of your real estate needs!
Jill W. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
While in the process of selling my parents’ villa that was chock-full of furniture and personal belongings, I got to a point where I needed to expedite things. I contacted Chris and Betsie Shiparski and I was able to meet with them within a day or so. They had a clear plan of how to move forward to empty the unit and get it ready to sell. They had a list of professionals that were reliable and competent, and I was able to get the needed work done quickly. The property looked beautiful and the pictures and listing description they prepared helped sell the unit immediately. I highly recommend Chris and Betsie!
Susan D. – Venetian Falls
Selling a property from out of state is no easy task but the Shiparskis’ communication and organizational skills, real time market analysis, network of professional service providers, and years of experience with Venice real estate made the process easy. Thank you for helping Mom become a New Englander again.
Michelle M. – Venetian Falls
We received positive, if not rave, reviews for the Shiparskis from other Pelican Pointe home sellers. We appreciated Chris and Betsie’s ease of communication, assistance in finding vendors to assist with pre-listing improvements, careful explanation of offers and contractual details, and efforts to understand our personal needs. We never felt like generic customers.
Betsie and Chris gently helped us through the daunting tasks associated with pre-listing repairs and tweaking. Through no fault of theirs, the house went to market near the end of the “optimal” selling season. Nonetheless, through their expertise and marketing efforts, offers were quickly forthcoming. The Shiparski team then helped us with the mechanics of contract negotiations and closing. We became temporary team members. They made us feel like we were their most important, if not their only, customer.
Rick M. and Carol L. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris and Betsie Shiparski were referred by my sister who lives in Pelican Pointe. We selected them based on their professionalism and reputation. They communicated frequently and effectively, always letting us know what is going on. They sold our property in a timely manner and we would highly recommend them.
Henry A. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Very professional and top notch! Friends and neighbors recommended Chris and Betsie and confirmed their great reputation and knowledge of the community. They are very easy to talk with and both were on top of the process every step of the way. This made me feel very comfortable. I was moving back north and needed to sell my villa. I wouldn’t be present for the sale and closing, so I needed a team I could trust to help me along the way. I thank them so much for all they did to help me sell my villa!
Pamela G. – Venetian Falls
You were recommended by a friend who was very happy that she worked with you. I knew the market was changing and the best season for selling was almost behind us, but you acted fast and got my home exposed to the market as quickly as possible. We sold in 4 days and the timing was perfect to move everything into my new home. You had good advice for actions to be taken to make sure my home was in top shape for a quick sale. After the sale, you kept me informed with each step necessary to have a positive outcome. You were more help with the transaction than I expected!
Linda J. – Venetian Falls
Your success rate in the area prompted me to contact you. You are familiar with everything in the area and you showed genuine concern and helpfulness in getting top dollar in the current market. I enjoyed working with both of you and felt you were fair in every way.
Lana T. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie Shiparski are a very professional, communicative, and engaging team demonstrating impressive sales results. We also found them to be a very likeable couple. We have used their services twice, first in 2014 and more recently in 2023/24. On the first occasion, Chris & Betsie, became our real estate agents after the prior agent had been unsuccessful in selling our home over an extended period of time. Implementing their suggestions for home display and for market pricing, the house sold promptly for an attractive price.
In 2023, we asked the Shiparskis to help us again as we needed to move back up north to be closer to family. We needed to depart while the house was waiting for materials for roof work following Hurricane Ian. Chris & Betsie provided sage advice about additional upgrades we should make. Following that advice and utilizing the network of service providers the Shiparskis have built proved key to a rapid sale at an attractive price once the roof materials arrived.
John and Cindy W. – Willow Bend
I selected Chris and Betsie based on great word of mouth on how well they work with the home sellers they represent! My neighbors in Pelican Pointe cited how pleased they were with Chris and Betsie during the entirety of the sales process, from getting the house ready through the closing. Plus, the recommendations they made on minor updates to the asking price made my sale process smooth at a fair price. No lingering on the market for months! Easy to communicate with and all communication was prompt and up to date. No waiting. Also, their personalities make working with them feel like you’ve known them for a long time.
Beth N. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
You are both special people! We so appreciate all your help and guidance in selling our home.
Sandy and Charles M. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Our neighbors were extremely satisfied with Chris and Betsie Shiparski and made the recommendation. The Shiparskis have a reputation for providing quality work. We were leaving Florida quickly and they helped us prepare for a swift departure and handled the rest. They answered all our questions honestly and remained in contact with us 100% during the sale, from our first meeting through the closing. It doesn’t get any better! We highly recommend this team.
Gail Q. – Venetian Falls
Selling your home is not an easy process, but the Shiparskis’ expert approach to the task makes it as easy as it can be. They definitely have the process all tied up with a bow around it from start to finish. They are excellent listeners and problem solvers who help you prioritize your expectations, and then they plan and execute a strategy to get you the outcome you want. Their real estate marketing expertise and data driven approach along with their step-by-step guidance throughout the entire process takes much of the stress and worry out of the experience – if you listen to and follow their advice. In addition, I found them to be very nice people who were a pleasure to work with from start to finish!
Linda S. – Venetian Falls
The timing of buying the next home while selling the current home can be very stressful. Betsie and Chris both made the transition very easy and for that we are extremely appreciative and satisfied.
Kathryn and Joe L. – Grand Palm
Chris and Betsie kept me informed by communicating frequently and effectively. They sold my house quickly, but most of all I appreciated their concern for my welfare. Thank you again!
Jane M. – Venetian Falls
The Shiparskis know the area, and know how to guide other brokers towards a successful conclusion. My sister and I were selling our father’s home. It was in our best interest to sell the home quickly. Together we made a plan and we accomplished our goal. The Shiparskis were recommended and selected based on the interview. They communicate frequently and effectively and are very friendly and prompt. I was very satisfied – 10 of out 10!
Bradley R. – Venetian Falls
The Shiparski Group—composed of Chris Shiparski and his wife, Betsie—are the “go-to” group in the Venice area. They know the market thoroughly, and are constantly updated on housing prices and trends in the gated communities of Venice. They are known for their professionalism, their thoroughness, and above all for their integrity. We had other challenges going on at the time we were selling our home, and the Shiparskis went above and beyond in considering our concerns while removing most of the stress of the home sale. If you’re thinking of selling your home in the Venice area, we unflinchingly recommend the Shiparski Group.
Don and Pauline S. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
From start to finish my experience with Chris & Betsie exceeded my expectations! I contacted them after I inherited a property. Since I live out of state, I needed quite a bit of support. The Shiparskis have detailed knowledge of the neighborhoods and developments. They explained every step of the process and provided me with the information I needed to make decisions for my family with confidence. They helped me arrange everything from deep cleaning and repairs to the sale and donation of home contents. I always felt as if they cared about me and put my best interests first. Thank you very much!
Jaedene G. – Venetian Falls
My husband and I had researched Realtors and decided on Chris and Betsie Shiparski due to their professionalism, attention to detail, and finding them both to be lovely people. They did an outstanding job of communicating, marketing, and selling our villa. They are extremely knowledgeable of the Venice area real estate market. They do a fantastic job of staging a home to be shown and sold. They must do a thorough job of networking, because my home sold relatively quickly. Most importantly, they are delightful people and so very pleasant with which to work. Thank you, Chris and Betsie!
Lynda G. – Gran Paradiso
We chose to work with Chris and Betsie after inquiring with others in our neighborhood about who really knows the real estate market in Venetian Falls. We liked their confidence and in a market that has seemingly turned to be a buyers’ market, we needed help and security. We got it.
Bob and Margi M. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie were great. Very responsive. I had great results with previous transactions with Chris and Betsie too. I am a real estate broker up north and can recognize professionalism when I see it. They get 5 stars from me!
John N. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
I chose Chris and Betsie after seeing the number of homes they have represented and sold in Venetian Falls. Betsie and Chris were so cordial and easy to work with. I liked the fact that there was no pressure put upon me. Their guidance through the whole process is what got my home sold. I will be forever grateful to them both. Not only are they great at what they do, they are solely dedicated to their customers, and by the way, they are also a lot of fun to work with!
Elaine C. – Venetian Falls
We would highly recommend the Shiparski Group to anyone buying or selling a home in Sarasota County. We listed our home in Grand Palm at a time when the market was slow and numerous homes had been listed on the MLS for months without receiving an offer.
Chris gave us a realistic market analysis of our property with an effective marketing plan to get the house ready to list, ready to “show”, and to ultimately bring it under contract. Chris spent countless hours after the typical “9-5” workday to follow-up on showings on our property. He effectively and quickly brought our home under contract. Chris and Betsie’s professionalism, worth ethic, and expertise in the field of real estate is unparalleled.
Jan and Jerry D. – Grand Palm
Chris and Betsie Shiparski have treated us in the most ethical and kind way. We will forever be grateful.
Elizabeth and Jack C. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie are a fantastic Realtor team. They are knowledgeable, kind and highly motivated. They are reliable and available during each step of the process. Chris and Betsie are compassionate towards their clients. In our case, my mother was selling her beloved house in order to downsize and acclimate to her new housing needs. Chris and Betsie were really wonderful and their guidance and patience through the process was invaluable. We felt cared for and supported. Thank you!
Amy and Sandy R. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris & Betsie helped me sell my mom’s home during a very stressful time including navigating the market after hurricane Ian. This was my first time selling a home and they patiently worked with me through the whole process. They have a great team of people supporting them in all aspects of their business. I was impressed with everyone that guided me through each step of the process. A great team of honest, hard-working people that is sadly rare to experience these days!
Tim M. – Venetian Falls
I’ve bought and sold a few homes in the past and I’m familiar with the overall experience. Each experience was similar, and each went well, and those experiences became my expectation. Chris and Betsie really raised the bar and made everything seem much easier and less complicated. They understood my needs from the very beginning and were able to find homes that met those needs.
They were helpful throughout the closing process as well, providing checklists and reminders to keep me on track. They were even helpful after the closing, providing contact info for utility companies, HOA’s, pool companies, movers, etc. Overall, this was, by far, the best experience I’ve had buying a home and I will recommend the Shiparski Group at every opportunity.
Bruce K. – Wexford on the Green, Plantation
Chris and Betsie were exceptional in their role as seller representatives during the recent sale and closing of our home. Things went very smoothly overall. There was one buyer representative issue regarding our contract, however our team took swift action to right the ship and put things in order in a seamless fashion. Honest and trustworthy, they were great communicators and marketers in the Realtor sales environment, and we were so fortunate to have them leading our team.
Carol and Richard D. – Venetian Falls
The Shiparski Group is exceptional and I highly recommend them. Chris and Betsie are knowledgeable, experienced, professional, supportive, and trustworthy. Their understanding of the local real estate market and ability to deliver optimal outcomes for their clients is remarkable. Outstanding communication during all stages of the process and the highest of integrity.
Thank you for your hard work on our behalf and your kindness to my parents throughout. You are deeply appreciated!
Mike T. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
We never could have pulled this off without your help. We made the decision to sell after we went to our northern home. You were the eyes on the ground for us. Your advice, your kindness to me when I had to come down to clear out our belongings all meant so much to me during a very stressful time. My husband was sick and was unable to come back to Venice with me. You both were so supportive and we thank you for everything! You got us an amazing price and we are very grateful for your professionalism.
Linda and Bill S. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie Shiparski are true professionals. They helped me sell a home that I inherited. They know the neighborhood and the market. They were always available to answer any questions throughout the process and their attention to detail is impeccable. They found the right buyer for my property and it was a worry-free experience. I would highly recommend them.
Diane S. – Gardens at Waterside
Chris and Betsie exceeded our expectations! They were aware of exactly what type of home and neighborhood we were looking for. We were very skeptical that anyone would find our perfect home – exactly where we wanted. They did. These two folks are honest, sincere and make you feel very comfortable going through a stressful process. We were treated with nothing but respect. They made us feel like family. We would deal with no other Realtors than Chris and Betsie! Professional and honest, it does not get any better.
Jim and Sue T. – Venetian Falls
The Shiparskis came highly recommended and trusted by a family member who had worked together with them on a previews purchase of a house. They were very honest, always available and answered all our questions. Chris and Betsie made the process of buying a house enjoyable and took the stress out of the situation. They were a very big help because we were relocating from New Jersey to Florida. We eventually bought our home and are very happy!
Dave and Joy P. – Venetian Golf & River Club
Thank you for your outstanding work in selling our house in Venetian Falls. Your knowledge of the market, pricing, and preparation of the house for sale were the reason the sale went so smoothly. We appreciate that you continuously communicated with us and guided us throughout the process. Your selection of professionals for selling our furniture, cleaning our home and handling the closing were important to forming the team needed to complete the process. It always pays to hire the best professionals in the field!
Hal and Pat L. – Venetian Falls
I have been blessed to have known and been represented by Betsie and Chris Shiparski in the selling of my Venice home. After some life altering changes, it was time for me to sell my beautiful home and start new in another state. The entire process was daunting as well as frightening, but Betsie and Chris were by my side the entire time. The process went very smoothly, from the listing, the showings and the offers. Chris worked until all hours of the night to obtain many offers and the photography and advertising that Betsie procured, beautifully represented my home.
I will be eternally thankful to the Shiparskis, not only for their hard work and dedication to selling my home, but for their friendship and kindness they have shown me over the past few years. I would highly recommend Betsie and Chris Shiparski for your real estate needs, they are an incredible team!
Darline N. – Gran Paradiso
My sister gave Chris and Betsie Shiparski a wonderful recommendation after engaging them to sell her home in Venetian Falls. I was not able to attend any part of the sale of my property in person. I was kept informed every step of the way. All of the paperwork was handled online with no complications. I received more than expected in the final process. The Shiparski Group was so efficient!
Betty B. – Venice
Our goal was to sell our property. The Shiparski Group showed us how to market it best and they got us a record price. During the process they provided us with a schedule up until closing. Both Chris and Betsie are very professional, enthusiastic and kind people. We are truly grateful that they represented us during a very stressful time.
Janis and Dick W. – Venetian Falls
I was losing time perfecting my already attractive house and the Shiparskis helped me focus, pointing me toward the goal and the changing market season. They exceeded my expectations in getting me the best terms and highest price.
Elizabeth B – Stoneybrook at Venice
Chris and Betsie are the best realtors in Venice, hands down. They know the market, they are connected, they are experts, and they do what they say they will do. They are experienced, honest, offer incredible customer service, and are knowledgeable of the Venice-Sarasota real estate market.
We needed to sell Mom’s home so that she wasn’t living alone anymore and could be near me in Colorado. We wanted the best price we could get and, while her home was lovely it was 20 years old and required some TLC. Chris and Betsie helped me convince Mom that spending a bit of money to fix it up would give her a solid return. Little did I know that our $12K investment would net us nearly $60K in gains with the easiest, most hassle-free closing I have ever encountered. Thank you Chris & Betsie!
Rebecca C. and Barb G. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris and Betsie have the highest level of integrity, using their knowledge of the market and their attention to detail, we couldn’t ask for more. We are happy clients and highly recommend the Shiparski team!
Wendy & John B. – Venetian Falls
I would highly recommend Chris and Betsie to anyone looking to move to the Venice area for either a winter home or on a full-time basis. They know the market as well as the dynamics necessary to either buy or sell.
In our case, we were buyers and understood the market was very hot. It would take an agent that was extremely competent, diligent and in particular had an aggressive sense of urgency. Chris explained to us in a very prudent way, what would be required to be successful. We listened to his advice and acquired our new home in a matter of days.
With Betsie’s attention to detail, everything was tee’d up for no surprises during our final walk through and closing. We are thrilled with our purchase. In addition to all the professional accolades we also had fun throughout the entire process. They are good people.
Frank & Debbie B. – Venetian Falls
I was prompted to use Chris and Betsie to sell my home in Pelican Pointe by their character and integrity. This mattered more to me than the fact that they are excellent sales agents with the highest price per square foot sales record to date. They sold my home in record time for a record amount.
With the Shiparski Group, I dealt with people who are honest, reliable, and truly experts at selling in the Venice market. I have been buying, renting and selling real estate for over 50 years and Chris and Betsie were the best real estate team I have ever dealt with and I appreciated their guidance and advice. I would recommend them totally and without any reservations.
Ellen S. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris and Betsie are both very hard working and know how to sell properties. Very honest and dependable. They sold our home in record time and the entire transaction went very smoothly. Great follow-through and communication was outstanding, always keeping us informed of the process. I recommend Chris and Betsie if you are thinking of buying or selling.
Sandy and Mike H. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie did a wonderful job of staging and selling my home. I am extremely pleased with their handling of the sale. They were both very caring and attentive to my needs, and did things with thoughtfulness and strength!!
Joyce E. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie are the most professional, wonderful real estate agents you would ever want to represent you. They listed my home on a Thursday and it was sold the next day at full asking price. Their marketing is outstanding and I rate them a 10! I was so impressed with the photography of our home. Everything was perfect.
I highly recommend them if you are considering selling or buying your home. They were there for us every single step of the way taking care of each detail so that everything flowed smoothly. I just don’t have enough good things to say about them as they were the best I have ever met and dealt with. Thank You Chris and Betsie!
Gloria D. & Al M. – Venetian Falls
We contacted the Shiparski Group because they have a successful track record of marketing and selling homes in Pelican Pointe. We wanted to maximize the value we could receive from the sale and were concerned about the impact of the pandemic on the real estate market in general.
Chris and Betsie presented a robust analysis of market conditions in Venice and outlined their approach to marketing our home. They emphasized their focus on customer service from preparation for listing through the final closing. We highly recommend the Shiparski Group whether you are selling or buying a home in Venice.
Pat and Mary C. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
I recommend Chris because of his knowledge of the area and properties. He keeps a keen eye and ear out for possible hidden or looming problems when assisting me on the buying side. He follows up, has an open and friendly personal attitude, and gives honest opinions and advice. Highly professional.
My latest purchase came in a rising seller’s market, with prices growing with every purchase made and homes selling before they hit the MLS. I got the property in less than a week and we did a successful transaction in less than two weeks from start to finish!
Elizabeth B. – Venetian Falls
Chris knows and understands the current market. Honesty and communication skills from start to finish.
To sum it up in a few words – best overall Realtor I have worked with in my last 30 years – having moved 6 times!
Carmen C. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie took a very personal and professional interest in me as a customer and as a person. They were very professional and on top of everything they did to make the sale a great experience. I had a nice home in excellent condition and I wanted someone to adeptly represent it.
They obtained the price I wanted in the first day on the market. They continued to follow through and guide me at every state of the transaction to be sure I covered every required aspect. I could not ask or expect to have ever been treated better. I have sold five prior homes and the Shiparski Group was the best ever.
Wendell T. – Venetian Falls
I have sold two homes with the Shiparski Group in the past year. Chris surprises me every time with how in tune he is with the market. This time he managed to bring me two full price offers in 24 hours! Both times he has made what I thought at the time were bold calls, but they always end up being the right call. Betsie gives wonderful staging advice and works very closely with their photographer to bring about extraordinary photos.
I have used a few different Realtors in the past and wouldn’t recommend anyone other than the Shiparski Group! They are a “10” in my estimation!
Judy V. – Venetian Falls
Working with the Shiparski Group was the best decision we could have made. We interviewed four agents, per the recommendation of a major real estate study that found four is the magic number for getting the best price for the sale of your home. Chris and Betsie stood out above the rest for their calculated methods, professionalism, and ability to listen and help us dream even bigger than we had been! From start to finish we could not have been any more pleased with the experience and support they gave us in the sale of our home. They are truly the best agents in Venice.
Joe and Trisha M. – Stoneybrook Landing
The professionalism of the Shiparski Group from the signing of the listing agreement to the closing on the sale of our home met and exceeded our expectations. As stated by a leading insurance company, we were “in good hands.” Chris and Betsie always followed up and kept us informed of everything regarding the sale of our home.
They made us feel like part of their family, making sure that everything was done expeditiously and without any problems. We highly recommend the Shiparski Group.
Gary and Bette J. – Venetian Falls
When dad passed away unexpectedly, and we suddenly had to move mom out of their home of 20 years, we had to act quickly and deliberately to sell their home. We needed a Realtor who could guide us through the many complexities of the home sale process – all while operating from our home in Texas. We needed a Realtor with whom we could communicate. Most importantly, we needed a Realtor we could trust.
The Shiparski Group exceeded our expectations in all of these areas. We received OVER our asking price and had a contract on the house within two days of posting! They treated us like family, took great care to find the optimal sales price, and did it all with class, a warm enthusiasm, and above all … with INTEGRITY.
Chris M. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
After at least 21 moves in the last 64 years, we finally got it right! Chris and Betsie make a perfect team. They have a reputation for being fair, honest and having a great work ethic. They kept us up to date on everything that was happening and helped when we were overwhelmed with the new technology. They are extremely knowledgeable, always pleasant and very empathetic of their client’s situation and needs.
We hope this is our last move, but if not, we know we will never have a real estate team that is as helpful as they have been. Thank you Chris and Betsie.
Carol and De S. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Very efficient and knowledgable team. Met all of our needs and the service was excellent! Chris is very professional and easy to work with. This was an out-of-town sale and all paperwork and information was provided via internet and phone. It also required working over a holiday weekend. We highly recommend!
Jim W. and Ginny B. – Venetian Falls
I was in another state when Chris and Betsie helped me purchase my home. They were experienced, easy to talk with, and thorough. I had all the confidence I needed with the online photography and description as well as using FaceTime with them to get a feel for the property. I recommend the Shiparski Group to anyone purchasing in the Venice area.
Bob Z. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris and Betsie were wonderful to work with from the time they met with us to list the house until we closed. They are true professionals and experts in their industry. They pay attention to details and the timeline. Their communication was outstanding. They sold our home in one day!
Kristi T. & Lori F. – Jacaranda West
Attention to detail. Honesty. The Shiparski Group’s service did not just include putting my home on the MLS as so many others do, but also honest evaluation of pricing potential, critical staging advice, and continual updates. My part of the process was much lower in stress than any other time I have sold a home because of their “we want to be thorough and make you happy” approach.
I needed to sell my home as quickly as possible for the highest price because I was building in another state. Not only was that accomplished, but Chris and Betsie put me in touch with a colleague in my new state who could point me to the builders in that area. State your needs and Chris and Betsie will make it happen!
Sonja B. – Venetian Falls
Chris was very current with the market and found us the perfect house requiring us to take quick action. He helped us navigate through some unique title challenges and we ended up getting a fantastic property that is exactly what we were looking for. We couldn’t ask for better representation. Chris is highly ethical, extremely knowledgeable, diligent and relentless in representing his clients. If you are looking to buy or sell, I would highly recommend hiring Chris and his team.
Chris and Peggy L. – Nokomis
We have purchased and sold quite a number of homes and wish we could have had the Shiparski Group handle all of those transactions. You feel at ease, have a great sense of trust, and are confident you’ve made the right choice. Their attentiveness to detail, depth of knowledge, and willingness to help in most any manner is remarkable.
Linda and Mickey B. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
The Shiparski Group’s ability to drive buyers to our property resulted in a quick full price sale. Your professionalism and constant communication were outstanding and made us feel well cared for and guided. We were thrilled with your planning, organization and execution and have never worked with more knowledgeable, dedicated, professionals. We most highly recommend.
Marcello and Joyce R. – Venetian Falls
Of the several homes we have bought and sold since 1978, our experience with the Shiparski Group has far exceeded our expectations. They treated our investment as if it was theirs to protect. There was constant follow up, excellent advice and mediation. Their approach is straightforward, professional and friendly.
Mike and Karen D. – Nokomis
We were facing a tight timeline to sell our home in Venetian Falls during COVID-19 and were uncertain if we could sell. But Chris’ knowledge of the Venice market and his experience selling Venetian Falls’ properties made all the difference. The Shiparski Group did a stellar job marketing our property and quickly found a buyer. The Shiparski Group is so professional, yet caring and compassionate.
Vicki D. and Bob H. – Venetian Falls
If you want excellent support and a first class group to assist you in your real estate transaction, you won’t regret using the Shiparski Group. They are knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with. They stepped in during the closing of our home when our agent unexpectedly passed away, and they made the process seamless. We were kept informed through the entire process to closing. Any questions we had were answered promptly and we really appreciated their “can do” attitude.
Paula and Dick S. – Manasota Key
Chris and Betsie are professional, experienced and SO reliable. They listen to their clients and deliver accordingly. They instill confidence and trust that is well-earned. They have energy to burn, great personal style and integrity. Best of all, we had fun working with both of them.
Susan and Dave H. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
I was confident in placing the sale of my home in your hands. Your extensive knowledge and experience were evident as you orchestrated the entire process. Your sales efforts resulted in an entirely satisfactory offer. You are consummate professionals and I am so grateful that I had you to depend on while I was out of state. I feel the word that best describes the Shiparski Group is caring!
Terry M. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie Shiparski are the best real estate agents we have ever worked with! They truly looked out for our best interests, were always in contact, and worked diligently to help us. Getting to know these two extraordinary people is a great boon personally, and our family is truly grateful for their guidance, honesty and good humor.
Chris C. and John C. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
We were not able to be in Florida when we decided to sell our home. The Shiparski Group did a great job presenting our home and it sold quickly. The closing went smoothly even though we were 1200 miles away. Communications were very good. The element of trust was extremely important. We were very pleased.
Richard and Joyce G. – Venetian Falls
We met Betsie and Chris at their open house and immediately connected. We went through many starts and stops and they never lost patience. Once we listed our existing home, they aggressively marketed it. The staging and photography was first class. The communication was constant. There was a lot of activity and it sold quickly. Chris also helped us purchase our new home. If there are better real estate agents around, I would be amazed. Again, always professional and courteous.
Jim and Marge C. – Venetian Falls and IslandWalk at the West Villages
My house was sold before it even went on the market. Chris and Betsie know Pelican Pointe and they know what buyers want. I appreciated their honesty above all and I felt I was in “good hands”!
MaryAl G. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris and Betsie communicated every step of the way. Being a NH Realtor myself, I understand the skills needed to be a good Realtor. They are the most efficient team I have ever had the pleasure of working with, both professionally and personally!
Every issue was resolved quickly and without drama! We highly recommend (and have) the Shiparski Group. Ten stars is not enough for this team!
Judy V. and Chris. A. – Pelican Pointe and Venetian Falls
We appreciate your guidance and counsel all through the process. We consider ourselves lucky to have you as our “sage” and friend. We know we wouldn’t have the house we always wanted without your vigilance and follow-up. This home is perfect for us. We love it here and will always be grateful to you for making it happen.
Terry R. and Kris K. – Waterside Village and Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
We have purchased and sold many homes in our lifetime, but none of the Realtors we have ever worked with compare to the two of you! You listen and you know your business! We can’t believe how you work endlessly to get the job done. We can’t thank you enough for everything and getting it done so quickly! We wish you all the best for future listings here in Pelican Pointe.
Viv and Frank R. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Chris and Betsie exceeded our expectations throughout the sale of our property. We are convinced that their leadership was instrumental in the quick sale of our home and a very rewarding experience.
Jim and Carole R. – Venetian Falls
Chris, you and Betsie are the best!! You were always there to help resolve issues that came up. You did all the little extra things to make us feel good throughout the transaction.
Frank and Susan C. – IslandWalk at the West Villages
Betsie and Chris’ knowledge of the real estate market is exceptional. Their marketing of our home could not have been better. We had offers within a couple of days and closed for more than our asking price. Working with the Shiparskis from our initial meeting through our closing was exceptional!
Richard and Joyce C. – Venetian Falls – IslandWalk at the West Villages
The Shiparski’s were largely responsible in enabling us to sell our home in Venice in only 4 days and in helping us to navigate all of the issues associated with the sale of our property. They were very quick to respond to our communications regarding all aspects of the sale and showed great willingness to find alternative solutions to troublesome issues. Between the extensive knowledge of the Venice-Pelican Pointe real estate market and their helpful, friendly attitude, we would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Bob and Winnie F. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
Working with Chris and Betsie was simply first class. We could not see how the excellent service we received could possibly be improved upon. Chris and Betsie were recommended by friends and neighbors in our community of Venetian Falls. Their reputation was perfect and we made the right choice.
Tony and Paula H. – Venetian Falls
The personal interaction, communication, knowledge, advice, organization and professionalism throughout the entire house hunting and purchasing process was exceptional. Keep doing what you are doing! The Shiparski Group made the entire purchasing process stress free and seamless. Well done! Highly Recommend.
Greg and Nancy G. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie are a great team. Very customer focused and listen well. Heather and I greatly appreciated the professionalism and honesty in setting realistic expectations. Would definitely recommend.
Emil and Heather Q. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie really couldn’t have more satisfied customers than us. As an HR executive I know how important feedback is, but truly they are both at the top of their game – we had a full-price (cash) offer in under ten days. Chris and Betsie also sold a rental property we owned in Venice and while this was half the value of our primary residence, they handled it equally professionally and competently. Chris and Betsie are true professionals in their chosen field, honest and enthusiastic. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants a first-rate selling (and likely buying) experience.
Susan and John L. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
First of all, Charlie and I would like to thank you for selling our house so quickly and painlessly (and for such a great price) . . . and for helping us find a new house! We are so happy we chose you to help us. You listened to us, gave us great advice and guidance and supported us through the entire process. You also did your homework, which gave us confidence in you and made it easy to trust you. You exceeded our expectations in every way.
Carolyn and Charlie E. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie are very professional and thorough. They are honest and open about what needs to be done to get the home sold. We would highly recommend their service and we will use them again. Great team!
Richard and Lorraine C. – Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
We would highly recommend Betsie and Chris, they demonstrated a very high level of professionalism and caring.
Dave and Eileen H. – Venetian Falls
Competent and knowledgeable, Chris and Betsie have excellent communication and organization skills. They know what needs to be done and they follow through in their plan. Any hurdles are mounted with patience until they find a workable solution. Great Team!
Kathryn and Joe L. – Venice
The Shiparski Team demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and knowledge of our local market which helped us sell our home at a great price. Chris and Betsie are excellent marketers and seasoned negotiators. They took control of the entire process. They far exceeded our expectations for both selling and buying and we would not hesitate to recommend him or use his services again!!
Bill and Nancy R. – Venetian Falls
Chris and Betsie make a great team. They followed up on all details and were professional all the way through the process. Use this team!!
