SKY Sotheby's International Realty, the Sarasota-based luxury real estate brokerage firm, today announced that husband-and-wife team Matt and Maureen Morris have joined the company. They will work out of the downtown Sarasota office at 1237 Gulfstream Avenue.
Matt and Maureen have resided in Sarasota for more than 30 years and love all that Sarasota has to offer - from its beautiful beaches to world-class cultural attractions. As SKY Sotheby's International Realty agents, they meet and exceed the following criteria: are ranked in the top 10% of the local real estate board, have average real estate transactions of $750,000 or more and list at least 12 properties every year. They specialize in commercial real estate as well as waterfront and west-of-the-trail residential properties in Sarasota.
“Matt and Maureen are truly passionate about their profession and dedicated to serving their clients,” says Chad Roffers, President, SKY Sotheby's International Realty. “We value the talent and expertise they bring to our team.”
Matt, originally from Michigan, became a licensed Realtor in Florida in 1979 while Maureen, a native of Brooklyn, New York, earned her real estate license in 1980. They worked for several real estate firms before launching their own company, Morris Group South, in 1984. The company focused on commercial real estate, specifically land development and hotel and retail-center sales throughout Florida. The firm also provided marketing and consulting services for time-share developers, car dealers, and lenders."
In 2003, the Morris' joined ERA Mount Vernon Realty to sell both commercial and residential real estate as a team. During their time at ERA, they earned the company's Real Estate Leadership Award (ERA's highest honor) in 2005, placing them in the top five percent of agents nationwide for the ERA franchise. More recently, they earned Sarasota Magazine's Five Star Best in Client Satisfaction Award.
“We wanted to be part of SKY Sotheby's International Realty and its mission to elevate the standards of the local real estate industry by providing unsurpassed customer service,” says Matt. “Client satisfaction, as well as providing them with an enjoyable buying or selling experience, is our top priority.”
Maureen adds, “I think today's client deserves this higher level of assistance in selling their home or commercial property, and no other real estate company in Sarasota can compare. We are excited to offer our clients this elevated level of service and the resources our Sotheby's affiliation now affords.”
