Bill is very humorous, personable, and extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market, which makes buying and selling a good experience. He helps you make good decisions, and advises you against poor ones, even if it would have made him a sale.

Great experience with Bill! His hard work and obvious knowledge made our home buying in a difficult seller's market seem easy by comparison to what we had heard! Fantastic experience with this gentleman! Knowledgeable, professional, and obvious years in this area handling Real Estate! Would use him again for any of our real estate needs. Make sure you choose this Agent to Buy or Sell. Thank you, Bill!

Bill assisted us with the sale of our condo, he was exceptionally good at keeping us informed of where we were at in the process at all times. Bill has the professional connections to assist a buyer or seller with inspectors and/or contractors to get you through a smooth closing. Bill "dots the Is and crosses the Ts" Bill always returned our calls in a timely manner.

We chose to work with Bill after a lengthy discussion about Sarasota. Bill understood that moving to Florida from Northern Ohio was not going to be an easy task. For months we would fly down on the weekends and sometimes during the week to look at homes with Bill, he was happy to accommodate us and drop all of his plans and devote his time and attention to our needs. He worked with us as we looked at homes and covered just about everything neighborhood from Manasota Key to Siesta Key and further north into Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton. After finding our home he stayed on top of the process and made several trips to the house for inspections and whatever else needed to be done without hesitation. Bill is a good guy and fun to work with through the home buying process, even as stressful as it may become.

Bill Garrison did a great job selling my Sorrento Woods home. He sold it to the first buyer so it was totally stress-free. No “for sale” sign was needed! In fact, he sold 3 homes on my street in the same month & everybody said he did a great job and was wonderful to deal with. Bill also helped me with all of the details of moving plus worked with a realtor in Colorado to find me a home there.
Thank you so much, Bill! Nicole L, Nokomis 2/2022

If you want the best go with this guy! Over the years I have worked with Bill on 5 different transactions and he always delivered great results. He's easy to work with, always answering calls and immediately responding to any question or concern. Bill has 20 years of local real estate sales and would be a great choice to help you buy or sell a property.

Bill is a pro realtor! He sold our house within a couple of days of listing it. I would highly recommend him and I would definitely use him again.

Bill has been an excellent realtor. Not only did he help us find a condo while still living in Nashville TN, but he also remained responsive to all our questions after we arrived. Bill made this a pleasurable experience when it could have been a nightmare for a sight-unseen purchase. After this transaction, we decided we wanted to become full-time residents of Venice, FL. Bill found us a wonderful realtor to sell our home in Nashville. They sold it in one day, over the asking price, and paid cash. Bill found us a beautiful full-time home in Pelican Point that we love, helped us with all of the mortgage and paperwork got it closed quickly. He then sold our Venice condominium in a week at a big profit even though we only owned it for a few months. We would highly recommend Bill Garrison to handle all your transactions.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Bill as our realtor for two transactions both as a buyer and then as a seller. Bill made both the buying and selling process easy. He was upfront with expectations, listened to our goals, communicated timely, and delivered high-quality results. If you are looking for a realtor you can trust, call Bill!

Working with Bill has been the best experience we have ever had while buying or selling real estate. As out-of-state buyers, Bill made the process of buying a home in Venice Florida fun and enjoyable, particularly since the market was so crazy (early January 2021) this year. He was determined to find something that would work for us, even after we had given up and decided to wait. He was right because prices only skyrocketed after we made our deposit. He found us exactly what we wanted, I think he knew better what we actually wanted than we understood at the moment. We would definitely highly recommend Bill Garrison to anyone looking to buy a home in Southwest Florida.

A GEM within a GEM in Venice, Florida! Strolling down historical downtown Venice we had the great luck to meet Bill Garrison, Realtor. A true professional in every aspect Bill was knowledgeable and beyond helpful in assisting us to find a perfect home that met our very specific criteria. Not only a seasoned real estate broker, he is also very knowledgeable with respect to the area(s) as a long-time resident and will carefully guide one to the perfect location. From one experienced Realtor to another I wholeheartedly recommend Bill!

We never would have been able to get our dream cottage if it hadn't been for Bill's expertise, savvy, and perseverance. His attention to detail was unlike anything I've ever seen. He went way above and beyond, and he continues to do so even after the sale! Bless you, Bill you made it all happen.

We've bought and sold many houses in our day. Bill is by far the best agent we've worked with. He's very knowledgeable about the area; He's also very patient. We had to make several trips to the area before we found the perfect house. He was always available to help us look at many houses. I can't thank him enough for all the help he has provided during the entire process. It's been flawless thanks to Bill.

It was a pleasure working with Bill. My fiancée and I were looking for our first home and Bill went right to work with our home search. We can’t thank Bill enough for the amount of time and effort he put in behind the scenes to secure the first offer we placed on a house. Don’t look any further, contact Bill for any of your home buying and selling needs.
Kyle and Tori, Maine and Indiana 8/2021
Bill, by far, is the best realtor I have ever dealt with. Never have I seen such attention to detail or the level of customer service he gives. He took the time to get to know us and really found out what we wanted and more importantly, what would make us happy. From search to closing, he was right there to make sure the whole process was as easy and stress-free as possible for us. Now we have a house we could not be happier with and we owe it all to Bill. He is a top-notch agent and we recommend him highly.

Couldn't have done it without Bill. Found a house one weekend closed and moved in 2 weeks later, He took care of everything. He was always 2 steps ahead; he knows what he's doing! Always answered my calls (NO ANSWERING MACHINE). IF He couldn't reach me would follow up with a text. Easy going, easy to do business with.

Bill Garrison is the best real estate agent I have had. Bill was such a pleasure to work with for every home I have sold or purchased. Bill has your best interest at heart and makes himself available for any questions, concerns, or even a ride somewhere. He is professional, organized, and has an incredible sense of humor and personality. Above and beyond any real estate I have been with for over the last 10 years. Bill is realistic and his main concern is the buyer/seller and that the buyer/seller is 100% satisfied... I cannot recommend Bill Garrison, Realtor, RE/MAX Platinum Realty more highly to anyone interested in an amazing experience purchasing or selling their home. Thank you Bill for all your dedicated knowledgeable work.. We are so happy with the entire experience we have been blessed to have with you over the years.

My wife and I built a great business relationship with Bill Garrison. We were 800 miles apart from each other, but Bill made the transaction of purchasing our condo in Venice, Florida a very enjoyable experience. I would recommend Bill Garrison to anyone, who is looking for a professional realtor. Bill has the customer's best interest.

When we purchased a home in Venice, Florida while living in Ohio, we found Bill to be exceptionally helpful because he is very knowledgeable about the Venice area. He was very responsive to our requests and offered good advice based on his extensive experience in the area. He went above and beyond what we have experienced with other realtors to provide us with resources and help before, during, and after the sale. Highly recommend!

Bill Garrison is an amazing agent to work with he is very professional and has a very likable personality. Bill has great communication skills and was always available he returned our phone calls very quickly and was not pushy. We were looking for a specific old-style Fl Beach cottage “not many of them left” in good condition and in our price range. Bill found the perfect beach cottage for us in the same area where I grew up! He is very knowledgeable of the Fl Gulf Coast Beaches and was a delight to work with. We still stay in touch and he checks in on us from time to time. ??????

Bill supported our purchase of 2 separate properties in the area. He is detail-oriented, patient, and unbelievably accommodating with regard to scheduling and following up. Bill walks you through the buying process from beginning to end, and diligently facilitates each faucet of searching for and buying a home. Highly recommended.

Bill has been sending me listings in the Sarasota area for several years!! I told him one day I'd be ready to start looking and he was very patient and never stopped sending me listings. I was out of the area so I wasn't sure how I was going to manage to buy a property from a long distance. He made it very easy. My daughter and I arrived in Sarasota and the next day he picked us up and spent the day showing us properties and also gave a great tour of several beaches and some beautiful scenery. He goes out of his way to make sure he provides the best experience for his clients. Even after the closing, he was helpful with making recommendations for people to hire for remodeling, cleaning, and landscape cleanup. If I need a realtor in the future, I will definitely call him.

I used Bill on my most recent home purchase and would choose Bill again if needed. I don't think there is any greater compliment to a realtor than to go through the trenches with them when trying to find your forever home and you would do it all over again if given the chance. That is because Bill G is a tireless professional who truly has your best interests in mind during the search, offer, and closing. He was available on short notice and went out of his way to accommodate our hectic pace. During tough negotiations, he was fair and always kept us informed during the process. Bill knows the area extremely well and if he does not know the answer, will dig to find it. We, the entire family, appreciated Bill's talent, humor, and good spirit that kept us going even when we thought we were never going to find the right house. I have NO problem recommending Bill G to help you in your search!

I couldn't have done it without him!" I was recently widowed and needed to relocate. I got online and was very lucky to see Mr. Garrisons' website. I was very impressed and the houses shown were beautiful and just what I was looking for. Bill worked diligently to find me the 'perfect house. Then, he led me through the entire process from a mortgage broker, appraiser, surveyor, etc., etc. right up to the closing. After the sale, Bill checked up on me several times to make sure everything was going well with my new home and that I was happy there. I have found Bill to be an honest, knowledgeable realtor.

Bill is one of the best t realtors we ever worked with. Our son is a realtor in PA, so we know what a realtor should be, and Bill is it. He negotiated with the seller's agent to get the price to an acceptable amount for us. He stays in contact with us even months after the deal closed. Sends us restaurant recommendations in the area and checks on our property when we are away. We give Bill the highest rating possible! What more could you want from a realtor?

Working with Bill to purchase a new home was a pleasure. After taking the time to find out what exactly we were looking for, Bill showed us many houses that matched our priorities and budget and never wasted our time taking us to homes that could not work for us. Once we found our dream home, he put in many hours to get us the best deal possible. We know he will do a wonderful job selling our condo. Bill is fabulous to work with and has become our personal friend in the process!

Bill is a very personable man who will go to bat for you in every circumstance of buying a house. He is extremely knowledgeable in this market as well as knows everything you need to know. He will walk you through every step holding your hand the entire way. We felt he went way beyond what you can usually expect from a real estate agent. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to buy in the Sarasota area.

I know you two saved us at least $50,000 and probably closer to $100.000. I love this huge private lot and the great Key West home in a perfect location. I looked for a year and didn't find anything close to this great deal.

Those foreclosure people sure had us screaming but you held it together and got us closed. Why do the banks make it so difficult to buy a foreclosed property? Thanks for being so patient with us and helping us get our condo. We're very happy with it and love the location so close to Siesta Key
