Testimonials

What our clients are saying

Sandy and I were hesitant about getting a house during a pandemic but everything went extremely well....from start to finish. Michelle and Zee were especially fantastic to work with. Michelle is incredible at her job. She oversees all aspects of the build. We were very thankful for all of her architectural and decore advice. It made the difference between a regular house and a spectacular home. Everyone loves it! Zee was Michelle's excellent assistant and the person who was involved in every step of the process. She was very professional and communicated all concerns quickly and efficiently. She is a great asset to the Sarasota team.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of builders. In the end, it was a smooth process that left us wondering why we were so concerned about building a new home.

Thanks again not only to Michelle and Zee but also to the rest of the Sarasota Team that helped put it all together for us.

Sarasota Homes is one of those companies that is a trusted anchor in the community. I have not bought one of their homes as we live in an older area of St Albert and love it there, but I have and would recommend them to family and friends. Sarasota is a local family run business and the family are just incredible people!

- Jason Hill

"We had always been aware of Sarasota and their gorgeous homes but given they are a custom builder we assumed they would be above our budget. Thankfully on a visit to the show homes in Jensen Lakes we met Crystal and she explained even though Sarasota is a custom builder they work with their client’s budget to build the home of their dreams. Not only was Sarasota able to work within our budget they were happy to work on our project virtually, given we were living in the US at the time. Having built with 2 other home builders in the past it was refreshing to see the process with Sarasota was nothing like we had experienced with our previous 2 builds. The team at Sarasota made the process enjoyable and were diligent with sourcing options to ensure we could remain within budget. We feel like we are now part of the Sarasota family and are thankful for the friendships that we formed with the team. When the time comes and we outgrow our current home the only builder we will consider working with is our Sarasota family!"

“Well Built, Hassle-Free, and Great People. We are simply amazed at how easy and painless the Sarasota Team made the whole design and building process. Michelle was very knowledgable, helpful, and fun to work with. Dalton was always supportive and ready to try and make our vision a reality. We ended up with a very well built, custom home that we love.
Well built, hassle free, and great people; that's what we tell people to expect with Sarasota Homes.”

“Kindness and consideration meant so much. On behalf of our family, we would like to thank Sarasota Homes for turning a job into a joy. Building a house is a huge undertaking, filled with worry and indecision. From purchase to possession, the Sarasota Homes family worked tirelessly and meticulously to smooth and and all bumps in our road. Their kindness and consideration meant so much to each one of us. Their expectation of perfection is known and respected by employees, sub-contractors, and clients. Learning that along our journey eased our anxiety completely. Although Sarasota Homes is a business, it is their dedication to their own family that shines through and touches us all. Our four daughters were treated like princesses and included in every step (pizza and choosing colours is still talked about with much joy and our girls want to do it again)! In selling our home, Sarasota Realty team made sure we had optimum conditions to sell. They transformed our house by staging with beautiful decor and touched up paint throughout. The end result was fabulousand well worth all teh effort, thank you. Our home sold in three days thanks to the determination and expertise of the entire team. There are so many individuals to thank, it would take weeks, so to each one of you, our gratitude overwhelms us but our friendship continues always."

“Incredible Attention Spent on Getting It Right. Although it starts with a lot of excitement & enthusiasm...building a house is never an easy project to undertake and complete without running into unforseen challenges. In our particular case, we spent almost 3 years looking for a reputable builder who was willing to work with us on incorporating some of our own unique ideas and requirements into our new home and avoiding that "cookie-cutter" feel that you see so often. Our vision was to take a very modern design and merge it with a fully accessible floor plan to accomodate for a family member in a wheel chair. The Sarasota Team did a remarkable job working through the design and planning phase with us, and really allowed us to put our ideas and requirements into the overall finished product! Although there were many positives to our building experience, we would like to highlight two areas that Sarasota absolutely excelled in: First - was the overall willingness to work on a customized build and contribute ideas to our accessibility needs. We had talked to numerous other builders and none came close to the great service we received from Michelle, Stefani, and the Sarasota Team. Second - was the incredible attention spent on "getting it right." The focus on customer satisfaction AFTER we moved in was outstanding! The few things that weren't quite right when we moved in got looked after and rectified in a very prompt and timely fashion. We would definitely recommed Sarasota to others looking at building a new home!"

- Darcy & Sherry Pawliuk

“We recommend Sarasota with confidence. Our experience with Sarasota was positive from the minute we met Stefani at the show home until we received the keys to our beautiful new home! We would build with Sarasota again and we recommend them with confidence and without hesitation. We recieved our home when we were promised and Sarasota communicated with us in a respectful and timely manner. As well, after we moved in, the warranty staff was also courteous, respectful, and communicated in a timely manner - if it was necessary. Thank you, Sarasota for making it a great experience!"

- The Corrins

“Workmanship, design, & materials used were all first class. Just thought we'd take a moment to let you know how happy we are with our Sarasota home. The workmanship, design, and materials used were all first class and the end result...well, we've had a lot of compliments, and hopefully may have sent some business your way. More importantly, it's the "after sale service" that we are so pleased with. Nothing works 100% of the time, we get that, but what has worked 100% of the time has been Sarasota's very satisfactory response to any issue that arose. We have been in our home for just over a year now and love it more than ever...thanks again!"

- Julius & Patricia Nemeth

“Summed up in one word: WONDERFUL! After living in a Sarasota home for a couple of months, you really begin to appreciate the pride and quality of workmanship and materials that this builder puts into your home, and you realize how great the entire experience was during the building process from start to finish. Our memories of the entire process from when we were first considering a Sarasota Home, to the designing an interior selections, inspections during construction process, and moving in ahead of schedule and on budget can be summed up in one word: WONDERFUL! The Sarasota representative we worked with was very professional and patient with us as we made decisions throughout the process, and she always had time for us - something you don't find much anymore. When you leave the Sarasota main office after meeting with the team, you feel confident they have your best interests in hand, and you actually leave smiling! We would recommend Sarasota Homes to our closest friends and family, on top of the general public. We now have a home we are very proud of, and if we decide to build a larger home - it will be a Sarasota Home."

-Mark & Bev Tevely

"Would absolutely recommend Sarasota Homes! They have the most amazing team and really made us feel like family. Building a home is a lot of work, so you need to make sure you have a GREAT builder. You can be confident that the Sarasota team have the experience and skills to easily guide you through the building process and help you end up with your dream home. We LOVE our new home and wouldn't have done it any other way."
