We were so fortunate to have Bill Cantrell as our realtor when we decided to move off Siesta Key and on to the mainland.  He guided us through the emotional process of selling a home we had owned and loved for 30 years.  He suggested a realistic price range for our home based on 'comps' around the area, having 3 open houses a week apart, and had an excellent photographer for advertising.  Bill was accommodating to our every need, from staging the house, negotiating on offers and even handling our resident pet situation!  We heeded his expert advice and found him easy to deal with, mindful of our emotions and requirements which resulted in only 24 days from listing to signed contract!  Much-much faster than we ever anticipated.  Bill Cantrell had grown to know us well enough to show us a number of homes for our consideration to buy and we were ale to select one that answered mostly all of our needs.  Within one month we had listed, sold and bought a new home!  Bill is very personable, accommodating, knowledgeable and we now consider him "our new friend"!.
