Most of all I can t thank you enough for all the hurdles you jumped through to make it possible to buy this house. It s just perfect for us and all our guests and visitors. The location in Sarasota and water views are stunning.
More than anything I just want you to know how esteemed you are by Richard and I. (Jennifer, the closer in Naples was also singing your praises. ). And I could see how everyone at Michael s respects and adores you. You are a treasure; a rare and precious gem who creates joy and makes dreams possible

Jo has closed 4 real estate transactions for us in the last several years. She is our go-to realtor without question and we rec-ommend her to everyone looking to buy or sell a home. Jo is extraordinarily talented, professional, fun and compassionate. Our homes sold very quickly. The last one in about 11 days. Believe me, you will be very, very pleased with Jo.

Jo Rutstein has been our broker for selling our house and finding us a new one. She sold our house very quickly and took care of all the closing arrangements. Finding a new house for us was not an easy task. We needed a large house with adequate space for art, a yard for our dogs, an elevator, and room for entertaining, in short a very specialized house. Jo found it for us. She has been patient, devoted, exemplary in her work. Very professional and very well informed. She is persevering and dedicated to her clients. She is fantastic. We would recommend Jo wholeheartedly.

My husband and I have worked with Jo on several real estate deals, both as buyers and sellers. We have found Jo to be thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She puts ... forth a total effort in every thing that she does.......really makes you feel as if you are her only client! We highly recommend Jo Rutstein.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Jo Rutstein and Hilary Souza while looking for a second home in Sarasota. Both were very professional and extremely well-prepared about each listing we chose to preview. Both were very knowledgeable and very flexible with their schedules to accommodate us, as we were only in town for the weekend and had to make the most of our short time there. Both shared valuable insight about Sarasota and the surrounding areas. Being long distance, inspections and closing could not have been smoother. We look forward to making our new house “our” home. We would highly recommend them for all of your Sarasota real estate needs without hesitation!
