Marietta Ashcraft, REALTOR®

Marietta Ashcraft's Testimonials

I chose Marietta for two reasons when I was selling my house in Englewood, FL. My sister-in-law used her to sell a house as well as to buy a house, and the fact that Marietta works for real estate company that has a positive reputation. Marietta is above all a professional. She dresses appropriately for her job, is impeccably neat in her appearance, giving the buyer or seller a positive image. She is friendly, courteous, respectful of one's home, and gives feedback from any showings. It is a pleasure for me to highly recommend Marietta as a real estate agent. I strongly recommend Marietta.

Jackie L.-Englewood FL

I have sold 6 homes in my lifetime and Marietta is the best real estate agent I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond what I would expect from an agent. She worked very hard to get us prospective buyers and our price. I was of out state while the house was on the market and she was totally in charge of the house and did whatever was needed to be done in my absence. On a scale of 1-10 I would give her a 10+++

Cynthia M.-Venice FL

In over 55 years of doing business transactions I have only written one review for any service or product. I have purchased and sold multiple real estate in Ohio, Alabama, Indiana and Florida. Because of the exceptional impressive service I recently received selling my property in the Venice, Florida area I am now writing my second review and recommendation for Marietta Ashcraft with Gulf Shores Realty. Marietta is so knowledgeable and helpful in explaining calmly and completely the complex issues of selling or purchasing real estate. She simplified and guided us through every step of the process. She is an expert in marketing and found us a buyer within 3 weeks of listing. It was a pleasure working with Marietta. If you are looking for a competent, dedicated realtor in the Venice/Sarasota area, I recommend without hesitation, Marietta Ashcraft.

Marietta is very knowledgeable about the Venice and West Villages real Estate. She helped price our house for the current and we sold on our first offer at full price. She was very good to work with on selling our house.

I recently sold my house in Sarasota Fl. and it was in the the hands of your super sales lady Marietta Ashcraft. I have never in my life met such a kind, understanding, smart lady. She knew all the answers to my questions without hesitation. She was always composed and patient. Patience is the companion of wisdom. Augustine of Hippo. (354 to430). She sensed my concern with many issues I had and dealt with them professionally. You have a super sales lady, a real professional, and the perfect lady.

Joseph A Fowler - Sarasota, Florida

We have known and worked with Marietta for almost 10 years. Not only did she help us find our home in Venice, but she gave us suggestions on how to stage our home in Lee County to sell during a declining market (and it worked) as well as interviewed realtors for us in Indiana and Illinois to sell properties there. Everything she suggested was to our advantage. When we opted to downsize and buy a condo, she scoured the listings and FSBO and eventually found our current home that the listing had fallen through the cracks. Again, she went above and beyond to sell our home for just about full price in record time. She even assisted us in finding a short-term rental while we were renovating. Marietta was in constant contact with us, for the short time our home was for sale. We would recommend her to friends and family only if you want the very best realtor there is. Someone who will guide you through everything from pricing, negotiating and closing.

I have been staying in Venice for the last five days looking for homes in the area. Your Realtor Marietta Ashcraft has been taking extremely good care of me and my wife (who is in WI) with finding a new home which we did yesterday. I ended up purchasing a home in Harbour West and we could not be happier. I am truly amazed at the kind, courteous and real estate knowledge that Marietta displayed. This is the sixth new house that I have purchased in my life and I have never met a more honest and knowledgeable person who explains house buying the way she does. Every single question that I asked of her was answered in a very knowledgeable and professional manner. Her customer service is second to none! She is an amazing Realtor and I would encourage you to keep her in your company by any means necessary. I have never written a review to a Broker/Owner before on a Realtor, she is number one in our books. You can rest assured that my wife and I will be recommending Marietta and your firm to any and all friends of ours that are looking for real estate in the area.

If you are looking to buy a house or condo in Venice and you don't use Marietta as your agent, you are making a big mistake! My husband and I have been dreaming of owning a second home in Venice forever. We have been in touch with different agents over the years and bumped into several at open houses. That is how I know from experience when I say that Marietta Ashcraft is the best if you are looking to sell or buy in Venice. She knows all the neighborhoods, she listens carefully for what you are looking for, she is very accessible and was very patient with us until we found the perfect house. And believe me, we probably asked her to show us at least one house or condo in every neighborhood in Venice until we found the ONE! Marietta is very professional and honest. She has been in the business for many years yet is still excited every day to go out and help look for houses as if she is looking for her own family. If you want an agent in Venice that is experienced, patient, knowledgeable, honest, friendly and, in the end, a professional negotiator, I would highly recommend that you give Marietta Ashcraft a call. We are so thankful that we did. She is the best!!

Marietta is the best we worked with her to purchase our new home in Island Walk. After showing us some resales in Island Walk and some other communities did not find what we wanted --we knew exactly what we wanted and her very quick suggestion was we should do a new build and that is what we did. Marietta stayed with us thru the transaction, sales, design I really loved having her input. Marietta did a walk thru with us and saw we did not have a doorbell which got fixed immediately. I cannot say enough good about Marietta just a delight to work with and would use her again in a heartbeat, have already passed her card to friends who are thinking about relocating.

Phyllis D.-Hollywood FL

Marietta is the person that you want on your side when purchasing a home. She was quick to help us on a holiday weekend. She guided us through the whole process. You can just tell that Real Estate is her thing and we loved working with her. She is sweet as Molasses! I will be using her to sell my other home in the near future. Call Marietta if you want the best.
