I want to thank Michael Saunders & Company and especially agent, John Ludden for the professionalism and service rendered in the sale of our home. John priced our home exactly where it should be and it sold in two days. He called us several times during those two days to check on our well-being and to keep us updated on developments. We will always be grateful for his help and service and will keep him in our prayers.
John really took a personal interest in helping us find the house that was right for us. We were buying in a tight market, and he navigated us trough offer, strategizing us to make our offer as competitive as possible. His knowledge of the local real estate market is extraordinary - deep and broad. He was extremely prompt when we asked him for anything, whether showing a home, requesting information, or his opinion. John frequently helped us clarify our options, but he never pressured us in any direction. We always felt that we made good decision and that John was our knowledgeable, helpful and efficient agent.
One the most pleasant and non aggravating reality buying experiences we've ever endured. John is a true professional...kept us continually updated on the progress of the transaction from start to move in...
John is a super nice guy and a great agent that goes the extra mile to put the seller and buyer together to make the deal happen providing a win win situation for both. We would highly recommend John whether your buying or selling.
John was unbelievable in helping us achieve this purchase. We come from Massachusetts and had a very small viewing schedule and John set aside an entire day to not only bring us but drove us to many different properties that he and I narrowed down by emails and texts through pics and information. John actually had a property in mind for us that we did not choose during the email process, but John said that this property sounded like exactly what we were looking for but that the pics sent earlier didn't do the property justice. Boy was he right, we visited the sites my wife and I picked and he asked us to please give him a minute to show us what he thought fit our model. We not only loved it, we bought it. John made our process so much easier and kept our model in mind and I can't thank him enough. If he is representative of your staff then you have the best staff ever employed. I can't recommend Michael Saunders enough as the only Real Estate company that I would ever consider using.
I must say John Ludden is the best realtor (besides my wife) I have worked with. I have bought and sold more than 12 houses in my life and John is by far the most professional, honest and knowledgeable realtor I have dealt with. I recommend him for all your real estate needs.
I asked John what he knew and thought about a couple of properties I was looking at. John took the time to thoroughly investigate them then offered excellent advice whether to proceed. I have always enjoyed speaking with John in person and by email. He is my person to go to about real estate in SW Florida.
We want to say thank you to John Ludden, our realtor from Michael Saunders & Company for making our dreams come true. John went above and beyond to make our home buying experience seamless and enjoyable. As we were purchasing our home without being able to physically attend a showing, we felt confident in putting our trust in John. He took the time to listen to our wishes and what we wanted in both home and location and within weeks, he found us the perfect home.
John was outstanding in every aspect of selling our home. He was knowledgeable of all the details of the sale of our rather unique property and made it go smoothly. He never once missed a beat and always was just a quick phone call away. How do you beat that combination? Well, top it off with a completely delightful and compassionate personality, and you have John! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Southwest Florida.
John is an absolute gem of a realtor to work with!! His communication style is very calm and supportive and his follow-up is excellent. He is willing to take as much time as it takes to find the home of your dreams. He is an excellent advocate for the customer and is glad to offer advice to a level where he made us feel he really cared about us being happy with the choices we made. John is also very knowledge and involved with the Punta Gorda community so is an excellent resource regarding local history, events, restaurants and additional resources available close by. It was such a pleasure buying a house with John!
Lovely , JUST SMART This guy listens and figures it out ,We did not waste time looking because he read us right and we chose the perfect place with his guidance ! What an adorable person and how blessed we were to have this angel !We have had some difficult times and family tragedy throughout this move .John Ludden has remained a friend and we love him and will be friends forever !! AMAZING GUY ! plus …… that cute British accent is sweet !!!!!!! Angel Agent ! we give him 5,000.000 stars !
John did a great job and has even gone out of his way to help move in some furniture we purchase and couldn’t be there. He has also checked on the house and ran the water and flushed toilets etc. in the time we have not been able to make it down. Super nice guy and very accommodating to us. We are looking forward to many memorable visits to PGI over the coming years with my family.
I have to say John Ludden is the second-best realtor my wife and I have ever met. My wife too is a realtor so that’s why John is second ??. John is a fantastic guy, very professional, and worked very hard to get us the best deal for my uncle's house. We enjoyed working with him so much we have decided to purchase a home in Punta Gorda and John has been looking for one for us. We would have loved to buy my uncle's house but it was a little out of our price range and it would have been too emotional for us to live there. Thank you for all your company does. God Bless, Bill Kane
We are ecstatic!! over the services and transactions provided to us by John Ludden in the marketing and sale of our home at 1492 Newton Street. The entire process went much more smoothly and timely than we could have hoped. John’s attentiveness to our account made us feel so comfortable with a process that we infrequently encounter. John skillfully guided us through the showing and multiple offers for our home. We had several offers in the first two days on the market and accepted a cash offer well above the asking price on the third day. The closing smoothly proceeded on time. What more could we ask?

John is a very diligent realtor, which is likely attributed to his deep Scottish roots. He takes time to listen to what a client needs. He researches and curates an excellent selection of homes based on those needs.
John was very understanding of our requirements and went out of his way to show us properties that might meet our needs.Once that goal was achieved he continued to assist us through the closing process and provided good contacts for us as newcomers to complete our other homeowner requirements.He has continued to maintain contact to offer any other assistance we might need as we transition from our current location to our new home.Our experience with your office and your agents has been very gratifying and warrants a strong recommendation for any referrals we can make
It was such a pleasure working with John! We had interviewed several realtors, but immediately knew that he was the one when he was quickly able to pick out the small details that would be important for the sale. He won our confidence from the start with his knowledge of the area, the market, and his trade. His work was professional and his initial market assessment was spot on. Additionally, John was sensitive and patient with us as we navigated an unfamiliar process filled with the complicated emotions of selling not only a home, but years of memories. From start to finish John exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend him if you are in need of a realtor!
