We really enjoyed working with both Linn and Maurice. Very professional. Easy to work with. The experience was so easy that there is not much to say! If you want the best call them.
Maurice has been a beloved family friend for many years, and we have witnessed firsthand his great personal qualities over that time. He is a man of integrity, intelligence, energy, diligence, and genuine kindness for all those around him. He is never too busy to give someone a kind word of encouragement or ask how he can be of help. He is positive and steady, and can be relied on for his consistency. When it came time to sell our family home, he was right there, ready to help. In his role as our realtor, he remained the friend we had always known, but added his professional skills to the mix. He is proactive, positive, very knowledgeable, always prepared with the information you need, and seems to have endless energy for working with others. He finds the good in every situation, and is an excellent negotiator. He negotiates not by manipulating people, but by truly seeking the best outcome for everyone involved. You could never go wrong by placing your trust in him as your realtor, and in the process you will have gained a true friend.
My wife and I were very fortunate to work with Lin Dunn and Maurice Menager who ably assisted us in our successful search to find a home in Sarasota. Lin was highly knowledgeable about the local market and each particular neighborhood in which we visited properties, which included Longboat Key, Siesta Key, the Landings, Pelican Cove and Palmer Ranch. He was tireless in his efforts to learn and help us develop and formulate what types of properties and neighborhoods appealed to us and directing us towards properties that should be considered. He is affable, highly personable and very effective, and we always enjoyed working with him. He was particularly good in following up on each request that we had. In short, we would not hesitate to use him again if we were to look for another property.
Lin And Maurice were excellent! We moved from New York, we knew the laws were different and the buying process was different but, they informed us of other differences we had not considered, (one example: insurance) which was good to know. These guys listened to everything that we asked for in a house, such as location, our life style, and expectations. We found what we wanted. They are a great team.
Lin and Maurice are THE MOST INCREDIBLE REALTORS we have ever worked with! This is the second house we have sold with them and will definitely work with them on another. They are so professional, understanding, attentive, helpful, honest. We highly recommend them to everyone we know.
attentive, polite, professional when he says he will send info he does
Dealing with Maurice and Lin (Team Dunn) on the sale of our condominium was an excellent experience. They went above and beyond any expectations a seller could have. They had open houses every weekend and kept us informed of any feedback they received. They worked very hard until the end to insure that our unit sale would close. I applaud them for the patience they had dealing with both my husband and I. I would not hesitate to list any other property with them again.
Working with Lin and Maurice has been such a pleasure. My first real estate experience in Florida was not terrific. However, my experience with Lin and Maurice has been exceptional. They took the time to really listen to my needs and timetables while managing expectations. No pressure, no hard sell. Just a genuine desire to make such a big purchase the absolute right one for their buyer. I would certainly encourage anyone looking to buy in the Sarasota market to talk with Lin and Maurice. You will not be disappointed.
What a Great Team these professionals make! I just happened to be out looking at house with Maurice and found our Dream Home. Both Maurice and Lin are both very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and were very eager to show us around as we were from out of state. "Thank you Maurice and Lin" for a job well done and I will absolutely recommend your team for any friends that are moving in to the area. You both did a wonderful job from start to the closing. A+++ (Excellent Rating) Greg Stone and Ron York
Lin has been a close family friend for many years and was especially close to my parents. He has a way of getting to know people that makes them feel understood and special. My mom used to say that all she had to do was hear his laugh from a distance, and it would make her happy. When she passed away recently, he was right there to help, and when it came time to sell her home, he treated it with the greatest of care. When Lin comes into your home to help you get it ready for the market, it is like watching magic. He moves quickly from space to space and before you know it, your home has been transformed. His creativity is definitely not limited to decorating. It is evident in the way he formulates his ideas and plans. He thinks outside the box, gathers people together, generates excitement and energy, and knows how to built a feeling of camaraderie among people. Lin's professionalism is seen in his diligence, tireless hard work, and willingness to please his clients. He is an expert in contracts and in navigating the ins and outs of delicate negotiations. His experience allows him to have a great deal of knowledge that he freely shares with clients and colleagues alike. When you work with Team Dunn, you can be sure that Lin is working proactively on your behalf. He is constantly thinking of new and creative ways to make sure his clients and friends experience a happy outcome. I have written separate testimonials for both Lin Dunn and Maurice Menager. However, when you have Team Dunn on your side, you have more than two great realtors. They work together like a well oiled machine, dividing the tasks and making sure all the bases are covered by using the talents and skills of each to the best outcome. I have never had a moment of doubt that I have had the very best realtors Sarasota has to offer!
Lin, has provided my family and I exceptionally superior service in our search for a shore property. He has taken the time to research the properties that will meet our needs and keeps us informed when they become available. Following up with us after he shows them to us.
Three months ago I met Mr. Lin Dunn from the Siesta key office of Michael Saunders & Co. It was to be my first acquisition of a home by myself at the age of 68. To say I was nervous and a little apprehensive is an understatement.but from the very start your associate Lin Dunn was the most helpful and professional real estate agent I have ever met. Mr Dunn always made me feel totally comfortable and his kindness and knowledge of the area helped me through this process beautifully. Even after finding the right condo, the help I continued to receive from Mr. Dunn was outstanding He told me from the beginning, if I needed anything to not hesitate to call him and he would be happy to help me. I can only tell you what a positive experience this has been for me. I would recommend Mr. Dunn and Michael Saunders & Co. to anyone looking for a home, condo or real estate. In closing I would like to say thanks to Lin for his incredible expertise in helping me find my new home.
Lin Dunn is a very efficient and dedicated real state broker. We were living in Chicago when we purchased our house in Sarasota. My husband and I appreciated the fact that he was always available for us even after short notice. Lin spent a lot of time with us. His knowledge of the different neighbourhoods in Sarasota was very much appreciated. He is a very friendly and warm person. I would highly recommend Lin.
Maurice is professional, communicates/articulates every step of the process...even better sold the home quickly!!! I was most impressed with the detailed marketing photos and brochures the most professional quality I have ever seen.
Linda Holley & Maurice were wonderful to work with
We have worked with Lin Dunn and Maurice Menager to purchase two homes and sell one so we now have plenty of experience working with this dynamic duo. Lin and Maurice go above and beyond to deliver outstanding customer service. It's the little things that separate a good Realtor from a great Realtor and Team Dunn provide many extra services that make buying and/or selling your home as easy as possible. They understand that it can be a stressful time and do what they can to minimize the stress. They guide you through each step of the process and go out of their way to help. They even helped us with staging our home and brought accessories to spruce things up. Our home was on the market for 18 days before it went under contract. We couldn't be happier and we can highly recommend them without hesitation!
Maurice found the perfect condo for us after we searched for 2 winter seasons. Maurice has exceeded our expectations as an agent with his professionalism, extensive knowledge, courtesy, and prompt set up of all the listings that we viewed. We would highly recommend Maurice to buy or sell your property. You won’t be disappointed!
Absolutely professionalism prompt and dependable. Great experience not only did I use them once but i used them twice. I would highly recommend them if you want a great team to either list , sale , or buy ! Above and beyond in customer service !!
Maurice is the best! He is very personable, extremely knowledgable, and will go the extra mile to promptly book showings. We are confident he will find our dream condo in the near future!
Maurice is very thorough. He pays close attention to his customer's needs and desires. He communicates in a timely manner and is extremely helpful in finding suitable real estate for his clients.
We had a wonderful experience with all people at the agency in Siesta Key and specially with Mr Maurice Menager. He is very professionnal. He knows very well the market and was able to help us on all the aspects during our search for apartment. We also appreciated his availability, his seriousness and always with kindness. As we are French, it was not easy to understand specificities. He knew how to explain us all the important points, to answer all our questions and to help us for the contract. We would not have been able to find better team and we were always in confidence. Definitively, we’ll again want to work with him for our next purchase.
As always, Lin was extremely qualified and helpful.
Maurice was totally committed to the sale of our home. He had a formal appraisal done to make sure the house price was appropriate and advertised the listing in the Wall Street Journal and other publications. He had a glossy folder created that presented the house very well that was available to anyone who saw the property. He held numerous open houses. For every showing and for every open house he made sure the house was in perfect condition. This even involved blowing the leaves of off the driveway and working with the pool which was not caged. He contacted a painter and carpenter to improve the inside of the house. Maurice works well with people. He has a very upbeat personality. When a buyer was found, he was able to negotiate a final bid that was 27% higher than the original offer. All in all he did an excellent job.
Lin and Maurice are THE MOST INCREDIBLE REALTORS we have ever worked with! This is the second house we have sold with them and will definitely work with them on another. They are so professional, understanding, attentive, helpful, honest. They even offered to stage the house before every showing if we were unable to be around to do it. Just wonderful human beings.We highly recommend them to everyone we know.
enjoyed working with Maurice, and were pleased view so many properties in short order. Many thanks to Team Dunn!
I was very pleased to be able to work with Lin Dunn when purchasing our vacation home. We met with Lin and within hours had paperwork completed and we were on our way back to Wisconsin. All of the follow up was done very efficiently. Lin was quick to respond to any questions no matter what time of day and I felt he went over and above to get our closing completed and make sure I had all the information I needed in a timely manner. From the minute I met Lin at the property l felt comfortable. He is a very personable and exudes professionalism. If asked I would not hesitate to recommend Lin as the go-to guy for buying or selling property.
Maurice, Linn and Linda of the Dunn team are exceptional! Everyone of them have different strengths, and they let each other exercise their strengths, and work together as a team. From open houses, brokers open houses, to brokers cocktail get togethers at our home job number one was to get our home sold. These people did in 90 days what the big name could not do in over a year. They paid attention to every detail, and went so far above what they said they would do, I was constantly amazed by the entire team. First you have Maurice, The Refined one, who always keeps his composure and I do not think has ever uttered a swear word. Then you have Linda who is always out shaking the bushes for a new listing or customer, or to get a listing or getting a home sold. Then you have Linn, The Negotiator, He is the one who makes reality happen. He knows what the home is worth and is going to get as close as possible for it, and at the same time tell you honestly exactly what his thoughts are with NO pressure. They should re-name their team to the DONE Team, because if they list your home they will get the job DONE quickly and efficiently, and with the least amount of stress on the seller. When you list your home with them you are actually getting a piece of them, they all work so diligently to get the job done, and finishing second is not an option with this team. Beside the fact that they are incredibly ethical, they are all wonderful human beings, and I consider them friends not just business associates. If you want to get the job DONE hire the Best , THE DUNN TEAM, you will NOT be sorry.
We are from Canada and recently purchased a home in Sarasota. Lin was fantastic at every turn. He was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Sarasota and spent a lot of time with us helping us find our dream home. Throughout the whole process he went above and beyond. We were so impressed with his patience and level of Customer Service. He made things so easy for us, providing guidance, information and valuable recommendations along the way. What a pleasure it has been working with both Lin and Maurice. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wishing to purchase a home in the Sarasota area.
Lin is an experienced realtor with a solid knowledge base of the local market and current pricing. He orchestrated and developed excellent marketing materials and brochures, ensured my property was correctly entered into the local multiple listing services and then actively marketed to the broader community. In addition, Lin exceeded my expectations when my AC failed and I was unavailable. He coordinated various AC providers and got it fixed. There were a couple of other instances where his service went beyond the "typical realtor's support". Ultimately, property sold near asking price. He did an excellent job.
Maurice was meticulous, assiduous, and a joy to work with. 5 stars in every way.
A real pleasure to deal with. Professional, knowledgeable and punctual.
Lin Dunn was not even our agent when my wife and I bought our vacation rental on Siesta Key. He was the seller's agent. I was instantly impressed with his kindness and professionalism, so I asked him to manage the place for us. Lin was there for us through the good times and the hard times. He went way beyond the "call of duty" to keep things rolling smoothly. I flew out there to do some fix up work, and he was there helping me get things done. When it came time to sell the place, there was no question in my mind that I could completely trust Lin to make things happen. It was a down market at the time, but he once again came through for us. I would recommend Lin to my best friends.
My wife Laney and I were made to feel welcome when we walked in Lins office, he is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and likeable.He comes across as an honest guy who knows the area well. He follows up and does what he says he'll do. We highly recommend him.
Very knowledgeable kept us updated with the real estate ,meeting our need. Very friendly and the signing of the documents through the website was very convenient
We are delighted with the time, attention to detail, and high level of customer service that Maurice and Lin have been providing as they represent our home. We are confident that we have the best agents possible working for us!
Lin was excellent. We could not have purchased on Siesta Key without Lin. Lin is very personal and knowledgeable of the area. A realtor who became a friend to my wife and I. 5 stars! John O'Neill
My husband and I bought a condo in downtown Sarasota and then several years later upgraded to a house with Lin acting as our agent, tour guide and friend. Lin also sold our condo for us. We were new to Sarasota and Lin spent time showing us around and then taking me to different furniture stores so that I could furnish the condo. What topped everything was when we were flying in to Sarasota and to what was then an empty condo and Lin offered to order a bed for us so that we would have somewhere to sleep when we arrived. We were arriving in the evening and I brought sheets with me to make up the bed. When we got to the condo, there was the bed, fully made up with fresh sheets, new pillows, even a bed spread and skirt. Needless to say, this was service way beyond what we expected or had ever experienced before. Lin likes being helpful and will go out of his way to make everything as smooth as possible for his clients.
Lin has been our realtor in Sarasota area for over 20 years. We have both bought and sold several times with him. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very honest. You know that he has your best interest in mind whether you are buying and selling. I put my full trust in him and confident that he only wants his clients to be happy. I have also refereed several people to Lin, one being my father when he moved to the area and he was extremely impressed and comfortable with Lin. I will continue to refer friends and family to Lin, I feel that he is the best at his job and is a very caring and professional person.
He and Lin went above and beyond what is expected of not only a good but an excellent agent., I can not praise him and Lin enough for how they helped and treated me. I have purchased and sold a number of places throughout the years. However, never did I have this type of service from an agent. I was treated like their mother not a client. I hope he and Lin are both recognized for their superb attention and service.
It has been a great pleasure dealing with Maurice. He is professional, prompt and reliable.
My wife and I were very fortunate to work with Lin Dunn and Maurice Menager who ably assisted us in our successful search to find a home in Sarasota. Maurice is highly knowledgeable about the local market and each particular neighborhood in which we visited properties, which included Longboat Key, Siesta Key, the Landings, Pelican Cove and Palmer Ranch. He often assisted Lin Dunn as we continued our search for a house in Sarasota. He was particularly helpful in pointing out features of individual homes that we visited, taking care to make sure that we did not overlook some of the less obvious aspects of particular properties that we might not have noticed otherwise or given adequate consideration. His fluency in French was an advantage because my wife is a native French speaker herself. We always enjoyed working with Maurice and Lin.
Bonjour !! I have worked with both Maurice and Lin . I have purchased and sold with their help. They are fast knowledgeable, considerate, and on the cutting edge in the property market. Their experience in the County , and beyond is expansive. I have made several moves in my lifetime, from coast to coast. Trust me when I tell you, trust them with finding your happy space !! Love these guys. I knew them well enough to break bread with them, and I would do it again tomorrow if I were in Fla. The California coast is not so bad either Happy Holidays to all, and to all my wish to find your house to turn into a home. Bonsoir Susan
Always cheerful and upbeat, Lin provides value-added guidance and advice - based on years of experience - to the process of buying or selling a home. As a long-time resident, he knows the Sarasota area very well - a definite plus for a buyer who is new to the area. Backed by the top-rated Michael Saunders & Co, Lin is a great choice as a Realtor for buyers and/or sellers.
Linn was great. Our first outing with him on a all rainy day was great he really paid attention to what we wanted and also showed what we thought we wanted and showed us why we didn't. The second outing and ultimate purchase was all because while he listened and heard everything we said he also heard what we didn't say and found us the place we didn't know we wanted. We couldn't be happier. Future transactions, and we plan on additional transactions, will go no place else but with Linn Thank you Linn
Maurice was very pleasant and professional. He answered any questions I had. I will contact him if I have any questions.
Lynn Dunn did an exceptional job selling my Mom's house. I would recommend Lynn. If you want your house sold by a professional he is your man.
The team of Lin and Maurice are the best!! They worked with us patiently until we found the perfect home. Then, they took care of all the necessities after the sales agreement was signed. From home inspection to final walk through, these gentlemen are thorough. Highly recommend them as they know the market and listen to their clients needs.
Lin is the best realtor you will ever find in Sarasota. He is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating in every way, before, during and after the sale. He has greatly exceeded our expectations.
He was concerned, helpful, and responded in a timely manner. This is a very difficult decision for us and he has been been very empathetic to our situation.
I would highly recommend Lin Dunn if you want a professional to sell your home . I live outside of Florida and Lin went above and beyond to make my experience of selling my Mothers home after she passed away. His personality is above any realtor that I have had any experience with. I was selling my home in St Louis Mo and buying a home in Town and Country Mo. The realtor I used in Missouri didn't keep me informed as well as Lin did in Florida.
A few years ago, when we were new to Sarasota and looking for a place to live in the winter, Lin helped us determine our needs and wishes, showed us a terrific selection of homes, and guided us through the negotiation process and the purhase agreement. Since then, he has continued to be a wonderful "ambassador" for Sarasota by keeping in touch and providing unexpected but welocme orientation to the area, its tradespeople and its culture. We are happy to recommend Lin Dunn as a realtor you can rely on. (Five Stars!) Nancy and Rob J.
We engaged Lin Dunn and Maurice Menager to market and sell our condominium and were pleased with their professional approach, thoroughness and knowledge of the local market. Both Maurice and Lin were forthright and engaging and kept us abreast of any and all developments. We appreciated their input and guidance when we had specific concerns and questions. Both of these gentlemen would be people we would work with again. Thank you Lin and Maurice, Shiela Wright & Lawrence DeMilner
We've sold two houses with this team. And we've bought two. We've recommended them to others who have been Justas satisfied with their kind care, their extreme thoroughness and their great knowledge of the Sarasota market. There is no reason to deal with anyone else.. Pat Withrow.

We would like to acknowledge Lin Dunn and Maurice Menager, who were so wonderful to work with. Not only were they very professional and extremely knowledegable, but so very friendly and personable. Lin and Maurice gave us a tour of Sarasota, the various neighborhoods, activities to do and restaurants, and helped us fall in love with the area. When we found the house we wanted, Lin and Maurice worked diligently to help us get it. They kept us informed and updated, almost on a daily basis regarding the process through closing. Having made our move to Sarasota and absolutely loving it and our new home, it wouldn't have happened as easily as it did without the expertise of Lin and Maurice. You have an exceptional organization and we are proud to say that Lin and Maurice from Michael Saunders & Company represented us in our home purchase.
What a Great Team these professionals make! I just happened to be out looking at house with Maurice and found our Dream Home. Both Maurice and Lin are both very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and were very eager to show us around as we were from out of state. "Thank you Maurice and Lin" for a job well done and I will absolutely recommend your team for any friends that are moving in to the area. You both did a wonderful job from start to the closing. (A+++ Excellent Rating) Greg Stone and Ron York
Lin and Maurice are wonderful personable realtors and I could not be more pleased. They communicated so well while selling my condo in kansas city and buying in Sarasota. They are patient and knowledgeable and both have a great sense of humor, which is refreshing, and needed, when purchasing a new home. I highly recommend this great team.
très bien il a su s'entourer de personnes très competente autour de lui pour apporter les meilleurs conseils aux futurs propriétaires très bon relationnel et ce déplace pour vous pour beaucoup de nos questions .je lui donne le prix d'excellence pour en avoir consulté un bon nombre.BiBi
