McCallion & McCallion Testimonials

Below are some comments our clients have sent us or have left as reviews of our service. We so appreciate the positive comments. Thank you all, it truly means the world to us to hear that what we do is helpful to you and your families.

We are thrilled with the sale of our house. The house had been on the market for six months. It came close to a sale a few times, but the deals fell through. It is tough to sell a house from a distance. We switched over to McCallion and McCallion. They recommended that we make a few, rather inexpensive changes to the property and brought in a professional photographer to highlight the features of the house. Someone from the company was on the property to make sure the changes were made promptly and to their satisfaction. We received three offers on the house the day it went back on the market with one of those offers at our asking price! We closed 30 days later. Thank you, Susan, Jim, Machelle, and Matthew. We could not be happier with McCallion and McCallion!

Patient, pleasant, and professional best sums it up. When we purchased our first Sanibel home in 2011, we worked with Susan and the McCallion Realty team. Recently, we decided to upgrade our Sanibel property and we knew who to call! Susan sent us relevant listings of Sanibel homes for sale for more than a year. She offered candid advice on the best opportunities and ultimately helped us purchase the perfect one for us. Now, we’re using McCallion and McCallion to sell our original Sanibel property.

Kate on the Mc2 Team was amazing to work with! She monitored the island’s inventory for almost three years for us until the perfect house became available. She expertly navigated the process while we were in Chicago and unable to make it down to visit due to COVID. Kate visited properties and recorded videos or called us via live stream video chat so we could be there virtually. We couldn’t ask for a better experience from start to finish, and we’re so excited about our island dream home!

Anna on the McCallion Team is the REAL DEAL! She helped us find the perfect condo, and a competent local banker to help us out-of-state buyers. She took a no-nonsense approach to negotiations, using her market expertise and genuine southern charm. Not to mention she helped us find a great attorney, a vacation rental agency and also pointed us in the right direction for furnishing the unit. She went above and beyond for sure.

Rick M.

My wife and I met with Susan and Patty in late December. Right now, we’re looking to retire on Sanibel Island… whenever we reach that stage in life! While our plans are still years away, Susan and Patty were both very happy to help us with an overview of the island, and what it’s like to live on Sanibel. Both were very knowledgeable, as residents of Sanibel themselves, and were generous with their time. We’re not ready to buy yet, but we certainly look forward to future trips down, and to work with the McCallion team when the time is right!

Susan is the go-to person on Sanibel Island when it comes to anything real estate. Her and her husband, Jim, helped us settle into our dream home for retirement and made the process more manageable. The McCallion duo knows and cares a lot about unique Sanibel environment, which is nice to see. They were great in steering us in the right direction for someone to properly care for our home maintenance and lawn care needs.

My wife and I have worked with Susan and Jim since 2012. In fact, we’ve both bought and sold a home with the McCallion team. Susan and her staff are not only real estate professionals but also people of good will.  We were pleased to work with the friendly, easy going office staff that is great at keeping on top of the transaction process. Susan herself is a skilled negotiator and creative problem solver. We are grateful for her friendship and support during times of transition for our family.

I just want to take a minute and thank Jeff (on Susan’s Team) for all your work. I know you are going way above and beyond what a typical Realtor would do. This is Mark’s first home buying experience and you are setting the bar very high. Buying a home in FL is very different than buying a home in NY, so your extra effort has been greatly appreciated.

I have had the opportunity to work with several realtors in my lifetime and Susan is just “one of a kind.” She worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to find us exactly what we were looking for and at times helped us to expand our own horizons beyond what we “thought” we were looking for….

My highest kudos go out to Susan and I am positive if you work with her you will better understand my sentiments.

Susan and Anna possess a wealth of knowledge about the island and its properties and have been responsive to our queries. We have been appropriately referred to other extremely capable experts (banking, insurance) as needed. Much of our search was conducted from afar, but we felt connected and supported by Susan’s emails and phone calls to check in with us. The office staff have been friendly, efficient and welcoming. Overall the service has been excellent, allowing us to navigate the home buying process with confidence that we have the best people on our side.

Susan was our buyer’s agent for the home we bought on Sanibel. We found her through her website, which is an excellent resource. She proved to be a wonderful, pleasant, and trustworthy person to work with.
She was supportive and responsive over long distance communications and took swift action to uphold our interests when the sellers tried to reneg on part of the contract and delayed the closing date several times. We would recommend Susan McCallion to anyone interested in buying and/or selling property in the Sanibel/Captiva area.

Brad & Betsy

Reston, Virginia

We have worked with Susan both selling a house, and buying one. She is extremely dedicated and worked tirelessly to sell our house. Susan is a skilled negotiator and got us a great price though her ability to show the true value of our home and make small improvements to increase it. In purchasing our dream vacation home Susan was also incredible. She helped us sort through the properties on the market, go through the benefits of each that we looked at until we were able to clearly see the right choice for ourselves. As a full time resident and realtor in Sanibel and Captiva, Susan is a great choice to work with, we could not have found anyone more diligent, knowledgeable or responsive. Her expertise ranged from starter homes (what we sold) to large estates (what we purchased.) We would recommend Susan and her incredible team to anyone buying or selling in the area as we found her to be thoughtful, ethical, accommodating and a true pleasure to work with.

Susan is a full-time Sanibel resident and has a deep understanding of the island lifestyle and housing market. She worked well with both the seller and I to negotiate a smooth and fair transaction, and her staff kept us information throughout closing. Now we own our own Sanibel Condo and couldn’t be happier!

We’ve worked with other realtors in the past, but now we know the importance of working with a realtor who fully knows the market. That’s Susan McCallion. She was very patient in working with us for over a year before we finally found the perfect home. Five stars for her and her wonderful team!

Elise Green on the McCallion Team was wonderful to work with. She was tremendously responsive, knowledgeable and willing to do what we needed. She even made herself available on her vacation to answer our questions! We have no hesitation in recommending her and her team to others.

When Susan showed my family homes and condos on Sanibel, she was so professional. I’d go as far to say that Susan went above and beyond our expectations coming into it. Her whole team did really. I highly recommend the McCallion office, and look forward to doing business with them again in the future.

We met with Susan and Jim in August and were very impressed! Before meeting us, they had prepared a full analysis of the market and set up a number of properties for us to look at, all meeting our specifications. As we continue our search, we are confident that the McCallion’s will help us find exactly what we are looking for on Sanibel.

An amazing job by Susan and her fantastic team! Thank you so much for your hard work, and for finding the perfect buyer for my house in just 36 days! I could not be happier.

Anna on the McCallion Team is the REAL DEAL! She helped us find the perfect condo, and a competent local banker to help us out-of-state buyers. She took a no-nonsense approach to negotiations, using her market expertise and genuine southern charm. Not to mention she helped us find a great attorney, a vacation rental agency and also pointed us in the right direction for furnishing the unit. She went above and beyond for sure.

My wife and I met with Susan and Patty in late December. Right now, we’re looking to retire on Sanibel Island… whenever we reach that stage in life! While our plans are still years away, Susan and Patty were both very happy to help us with an overview of the island, and what it’s like to live on Sanibel. Both were very knowledgeable, as residents of Sanibel themselves, and were generous with their time. We’re not ready to buy yet, but we certainly look forward to future trips down, and to work with the McCallion team when the time is right!

My wife and I have worked with Susan and Jim since 2012. In fact, we’ve both bought and sold a home with the McCallion team. Susan and her staff are not only real estate professionals but also people of good will.  We were pleased to work with the friendly, easy going office staff that is great at keeping on top of the transaction process. Susan herself is a skilled negotiator and creative problem solver. We are grateful for her friendship and support during times of transition for our family.

Susan is the go-to person on Sanibel Island when it comes to anything real estate. Her and her husband, Jim, helped us settle into our dream home for retirement and made the process more manageable. The McCallion duo knows and cares a lot about unique Sanibel environment, which is nice to see. They were great in steering us in the right direction for someone to properly care for our home maintenance and lawn care needs.

Susan McCallion sold our condo in record time. She is very personable and understood our desires and needs. She guided us and explained the process required to sell, and told us how to make our condo presentable for sale. She took lots of pictures for MLS and Zillow. She arranged many showings at times convenient for us, and when bids came in she advised us in the right direction. We highly recommend McCallion and McCallion.

Working with McCallion & McCallion on my house sale was perfect. I was always kept informed as to where I was in the process from agreeing the sale to the closing. A very happy and stress free sale for Me. Thank you all!

Mark and I are so indebted to you for helping us with the acquisition of our dream house.  Your efficiency was amazing and we are so excited about our new Sanibel home. Thank you so much for your hard work, your pleasant manner and your tireless attention to details.  You made this whole experience enjoyable and exciting!

I just want to take a minute and thank Jeff (on Susan’s Team) for all your work. I know you are going way above and beyond what a typical Realtor would do. This is Mark’s first home buying experience and you are setting the bar very high. Buying a home in FL is very different than buying a home in NY, so your extra effort has been greatly appreciated. We will definitely look to you again in the future and recommend you to anyone else looking for a home!

Tom & Mark

I have had the opportunity to work with several realtors in my lifetime and Susan is just “one of a kind.” She worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to find us exactly what we were looking for and at times helped us to expand our own horizons beyond what we “thought” we were looking for….

My highest kudos go out to Susan and I am positive if you work with her you will better understand my sentiments.

Mark T.
Bainbridge, IN

I can honestly say that Anna (with Susan’s Team) was the most organized, informed, and personable Realtor that I have ever worked with. She intuitively seems to know what properties best meet our needs. Our time was very well spent, and I could not be more pleased with her services.

Karen R.

10 out of 10! Like most people who visit Sanibel my husband and I have always left the Island with a heavy heart. Meeting Anna with her knowledge and personality made looking for our slice of Heaven so easy, we are so grateful. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had an incredible experience working with Susan McCallion and her team. They worked tirelessly on our behalf to help us find the right home on Sanibel. Susan knows the real estate business inside and out, and, most importantly, she has integrity. Based on our experience purchasing a home on Sanibel with Susan’s help, I could not recommend McCallion and McCallion more highly. Thank you again, Susan!

Ron D.

Buying our new home with Susan and her team took so much stress out of whole process. Handling the negotiations she got the lowest price I had hoped for. Once under contract, her team kept on top of everything so that we closed on time without hassles. I can’t thank her enough!

Corey V.
Fort Myers, Florida

We came to Sanibel to search for our retirement dream home. Susan, Anna, and Jim were a valuable resource to us because of their unique knowledge of Sanibel Island, the properties that were best for our needs, and how to move throughout the process.

Kent K.

Susan was our buyer’s agent for the home we bought on Sanibel. We found her through her website, which is an excellent resource. She proved to be a wonderful, pleasant, and trustworthy person to work with.
She was supportive and responsive over long distance communications and took swift action to uphold our interests when the sellers tried to reneg on part of the contract and delayed the closing date several times. We would recommend Susan McCallion to anyone interested in buying and/or selling property in the Sanibel/Captiva area.

Brad & Betsy
Reston, Virginia

We have worked with Susan both selling a house, and buying one. She is extremely dedicated and worked tirelessly to sell our house. Susan is a skilled negotiator and got us a great price though her ability to show the true value of our home and make small improvements to increase it. In purchasing our dream vacation home Susan was also incredible. She helped us sort through the properties on the market, go through the benefits of each that we looked at until we were able to clearly see the right choice for ourselves. As a full time resident and realtor in Sanibel and Captiva, Susan is a great choice to work with, we could not have found anyone more diligent, knowledgeable or responsive. Her expertise ranged from starter homes (what we sold) to large estates (what we purchased.) We would recommend Susan and her incredible team to anyone buying or selling in the area as we found her to be thoughtful, ethical, accommodating and a true pleasure to work with.

Everyone involved in our quest to be Sanibel residents has been extremely helpful and professional. Susan and Anna possess a wealth of knowledge about the island and its properties and have been responsive to our queries. We have been appropriately referred to other extremely capable experts (banking, insurance) as needed. Much of our search was conducted from afar, but we felt connected and supported by Susan’s emails and phone calls to check in with us. The office staff have been friendly, efficient and welcoming. Overall the service has been excellent, allowing us to navigate the home buying process with confidence that we have the best people on our side.
