Lily lives in our neighborhood, so there was no one better to sell our home.
Lily lives in our neighborhood, so there was no one better to sell our home. She was able to find potential buyers before it was on the market, working through her real estate contacts. We got an above asking offer only a day after we were on the market, and Lily helped us all the way through closing. She always answered our questions and helped guide us through every part of closing. Thanks Lily!

I have used Lily for 15 years plus and there is one reason. Her expertise of local market conditions. She is constantly updating me to current trends and future trends. I have done very well in all market conditions because of her experience. I am an investor and own in several counties. I have done well in both buying and selling with Lily. Her real value comes when negotiations start. She helps create offers that get accepted and pricing that moves properties. If you are even considering buying in Bradenton or Sarasota, she is simply the most prepared and knowledgeable realtor in the region. Trust her input completely. I have and I do.

Lily was such an asset in the sale of my home.
Lily was such an asset in the sale of my home. Her knowledge of the real estate market and her ability to use social media as a selling tool were remarkable. She was always available to answer questions and kept me informed 100% of the time. She not only sold my home in a short period of time, she was my agent in closing on a new home. I highly recommend her.

Lily went over and beyond our expectations as our sellers’ agent.
Lily went over and beyond our expectations as our sellers’ agent. She marketed our house and neighborhood superbly with a stunning video walk through as well as virtual staging. Lily monitored our house as we were living in another state and could not check on it. She made sure any maintenance issues were addressed and kept the house secure. Lily kept us aware of all matters that pertained to the market, the status of the listing, and negotiations with the sale. She stayed in contact with us even after the closing to be certain all was completely satisfactory with the process and the service she provided. We highly recommend Lily to anyone needing to sell a property.

Excellent service with class and integrity.
From the start, Lily was amazing! She organized pictures and video of our home within 1 day. She advised us on the hot market and listed our home at a competitive price. She was present for almost all of the showings and really added value with her knowledge of our neighborhood and floor plan. We’re very happy with the great job she did representing us in the sale of our home in Panther Ridge.

Lily did a superb job of selling my home when no one else was able to! I am so impressed with her professional attitude, on call for me 24 hours a day! Nothing was too much trouble, went over and beyond not only selling my home but helping me with things that made my life easy! I was in my new home whilst she sold my home and made sure everything was safe and looked after my home. if If I was to buy another home I would certainly call Lily!

Lily Behrends recently sold my home in the preserve for top value despite a failing economy with crushing interest rates. Regardless of those negative factors she accomplished this in less than a month! Her success is a testament to her experience, negotiating skills and ability to see common ground between the buyer and seller. Added to this are her listening skills and strong ethical and professional standards in all that she does. Patty and I were fortunate enough to have her wise counsel and steady hand in bringing about a happy ending. We would both a recommend her without reservation.

Very helpful with helping us find a home in the neighborhood that we love. We needed something over 4000sqft with a great yard and Lily found it. We really appreciate how hard Lily works to find the right house for us. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and happy with the purchase. Lily has plans to take us out to dinner in the next week or two to show her appreciation for us buying working with her. In the past this offer has been made by realtors we have used before, but was an empty promise. After the sale went through they were onto the next client. This isn't the case with Lily she really cares, and we appreciate that. We are loving our new home and have already recommended Lily to friends of ours who purchased with Lily as well. I strongly recommend "listing with Lily" or purchasing with Lily as well.

Lily has been a true blessing to work with.
Lily has been a true blessing to work with. She has been by our side the whole time. We had a very unique home to sell, we were not sure of the best asking price, so we started a little high, ($494k) and settled in to a price, ($399k) that generated a lot of interest. We were very happy with her willingness to listen to our needs, and negotiate a fair price.

Lily was amazing throughout our entire selling process. Besides getting our house under contract in three days, she was extremely knowledgeable and on top of the transaction the entire process. Even when difficult buyers presented challenges, Lily knew just what to do to overcome them to put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Lily for any future real estate needs.

My Wife and I met Lily Behrends in 2006 when we were looking to buy an office condo. She worked very diligently and found us the perfect unit to purchase so obviously when it came time to sell the unit 10 years later we went back Lily to find us a buyer. Once again she was very diligent and came up with a buyer and managed the sale of the condo. We would highly recommend Lily as a very good Realtor to anyone needing to make a purchase or sell any real estate.

We contacted Lily after we found several properties on Zillow. She was friendly, yet professional, and very willing to work with us in spite that we lived out of state. After we arrived in Florida (several weeks later), we found Lily to extremely enthusiastic and energetic as she showed us the properties we had selected, as well as several of her own recommendations. Then she was so patient and helpful as we vacillated and wrestled with our decisions. Ultimately, through Lily's efforts, we were able to purchase our new home months sooner that we had anticipated. And she is now our first Florida friend...

Professional. Honest. Lily’s skill set and knowledge are strengths that give the buyer or seller comfort and confidence during such a stressful process. And yes, I have both sides of this with her help, on multiple occasions. Her general nature is kind and positive, which brings a good feeling to both sides of the table, so there is a good open line of communication from the onset. Her sweet, positive spirit doesn’t mean she won’t hold fast, when need be, but her flexibility to adjust when appropriate and to stand firm on her client’s behalf, make her a wonderful representative and spokesperson. When it comes to your home, or your business, Lily is the relator you want (on your side of the table) at your closing!

We have known Lily for many years and we knew prior to instructing her as our selling agent that she has an unequalled reputation locally - Lakewoid Ranch, Panther Ridge etc for successful selling and excellent personal service. We knew Lily would be the right choice for us. She is personable, knowledgeable and most of all patient. She is patient, understanding and accessible. We would have no hesitation to recommend Lily as the best local selling agent.

With our IL house sold, we contacted Lily by chance on a six day trip to hunt for a short rental or a purchase. She and her team were quick to respond and help us. In short, we found a house that had the potential of all we wanted. It was then a rental property, and the closing was loaded with seller's issues which caused delays. Lily stepped in to help resolve issues and expedite the successful closing. As a retired real estate broker, we were very impressed with her initiative and professionalism.

Not only has she sold 2 homes for us she has gone above and beyond getting us what we wanted in extras for the home we purchased, but she stood her ground and made sure we also got the best offer when we were selling. I give her 2 thumbs up and she gets homes sold quickly!!!

My husband and I sold our home before it was on the market. Lily had a buyer in mind once I had contacted her. Lily knew the neighborhood well and was able to help the out of town buyers with the process smoothly. We as sellers were not full time residents, but the process was smooth on our end as well. Lily kept us up to date with all appointments the buyers needed to schedule. I would highly recommend Lily, as she is professional and hard working.

I have bought and sold multiple properties with Lilly over a decade. These included rentals as well as primary homes. Lilly is the most prepared and experienced realtor on the west coast of Florida. She uses the heft of ReMax while pairing that with her hard earned experience. She doesn’t always have the answers to my specific questions but does by the end of the day. What she has always provided is the right questions about the property in question which always advances my knowledge for the right offer.Her turnaround with critical info still amazes me to this day. If you want the best…hire Lilly every time. Decent, honest, and valuable.

I have to say that I have a new respect for what Realtors do, well what Lily did for us anyway. Not only did she guide us through the complicated maze of the listing process she helped us price the home fairly in a wildly fluctuating market which drew immediate attention from potential buyers. She worked tirelessly to sell our home and her local knowledge of Panther Ridge (being a resident) was excellent. She made herself available to us night and day and was always accessible and responsive.
In a short period she presented us with multiple offers and when it came time for inspections, suggested repairs, movers, etc... she came with a long list of recommendations of companies that were also timely, professional and as courteous as she is. She also helped us search for rental properties since we had gone to closing much faster than expected!
I would highly recommend Lily for anyone seeking to sell or buy a home and we will surely use her services again when we are ready to buy.

I started looking to move south from upstate NY in the spring of 2019.
I started looking to move south from upstate NY in the spring of 2019. I was contacted by Lily through Zillow and got the process started.
Lily listened to what my interests were in a home, lifestyle, and location(s). When I was finally able to get to Florida to meet Lily, she had a number of properties identified for me to look at. I am not a person who makes quick decisions, especially on a home purchase. However, Lily did such an outstanding job preparing a list of properties to visit, we were able to zero in on what I was interested in, found an ideal condo, made an offer and set up a closing date all within 4 days of my arrival in Florida.
Lily is very knowledgeable regarding real estate in the area, she helped me understand the nuances of purchasing real estate in Florida and guided me through the entire process.
I have now been living in my new home for almost a month and thanks to Lily I am extremely happy with the purchase and move. I would highly recommend Lily and I will certainly contact her with any future real estate needs.
