Testimonials

We chose Shana as a real estate agent after my husband stopped to chat for a few minutes, just to see how business was at Key Solutions. He was so impressed he told me that Shana was going to get a list together for us to view. I was hesitant until I met Shana a few days later. She was friendly and personable from the moment I met her. She eased my mind and after the first meeting I knew we chose the right person for our house hunting. After Shana left us off at our car, I said we made the right decision for a real estate agent. I can't say enough about how Shana helped us with our journey, but her best quality was her honesty. When we were hesitant about a property, she pointed things out, good, bad and otherwise. I’m sure other agents wouldn’t do that, because they want to make a sale. The other thing is Shana always said go home and think about the property. That really saved us from making the wrong choice that we would have regretted later. I think we were both nervous about taking a leap to buy a second home. We hadn’t had a mortgage in years and we needed to be sure Sarasota was the right area for us. Shana took us through many properties. Again pointing out what we may like and what we may not. She made us look at what we really wanted in a property and talked us through the doubt in our minds. Again just making us think about the property and not pushing us to jump into anything we weren’t ready for was a huge comfort to both of us. She even asked if we were really ready to buy a property, which we had to be sure ourselves. Most agent would have made us take the leap without thinking about it. That was a comfort in itself. I had gone and looked at a property before I had met Shana and the man was nice but very unsure of himself. He contacted me through e-mail a few times, but just gave up after a few e-mails. I think we needed someone with the confidence to lead us to the perfect property. I don’t think Shana would have given up so easy and I’m glad she didn’t. We had the best person for the job. Back home we have always worked with a family friend, who worked hard for us with each sale. Which you would expect from a friend. I feel that Shana is a great real estate agent and a great friend. She is a friend who goes above and beyond her job. I would highly recommend Shana to anyone looking for property, or selling a property. Shana knows the area and points out different aspects of the areas, which was huge for us out of town clients. We have already bragged about Shana to everyone we talk to. If anyone needs a real estate agent don’t hesitate to call Shana. You will be glad you made the call.

When my husband and I decided to move to Florida after living many years in Europe we liked Sarasota but were not so familiar with various areas and our time was limited to choose a home. We were both very pleased to have met Shana who has lived in the area for many years and was able to guide us in our selection. There was an immediate understanding about the type home we were looking to purchase and finding a nice location. Shana was honest, organized and creative in her suggestions and by no means pushy. We returned to Europe always in contact with Shana. Properties we thought were interesting, we immediately contacted Shana who would visit the location and give us feedback. Our second trip to the states we became home owners.

Shana Hamel was highly recommended by the owner of Key Solutions Real Estate when my husband and I decided to look into buying a winter home in the Sarasota area of Florida. When we met Shana, she was very friendly and personable. We had already filled out a form stating where we wanted to locate and what we needed in a winter home. She picked us up at the hotel and drove us around to many gated communities always asking our input She was always upbeat and could answer all of our questions, or getting back to us if she needed to look further to get that information. It was a pleasure working with Shana.
