About Bill Cantrell

"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 able 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"!."

"I remember our first conversation when I told you I didn't hold real estate agents in high regard, and you told me to give you a chance. I am glad I took your advice. You have been professional, energetic, understanding and available to work with me day or night. Your hard work sold my house that other agents could barely generate traffic for. When I indicated I wanted to purchase another house close to the sale of my existing home, you made it happen. Your honesty and hard work throughout the process has been nothing short of impressive. Other agents could learn quite a bit from you. Best of luck with your endeavors and know I will recommend you highly to anyone thinking of moving."
Mike McKeon (Nokomis, FL)

"We want to thank you for patiently helping us find our dream home!! It took us a few years but thanks to your knowledge of the area and waterways, and your commitment to finding us the home we wanted, we are exactly where we want to be.
I also want to thank you for finding a solution to every obstacle that came our way, and there were some big ones. There were moments I didn't think this amazing house would be ours. The purchase of this house was very emotional for us because we believe it will be our last and you kept me calm and worked so very hard to ensure we closed.
I must tell you we bought and sold a dozen homes, and you are by far the hardest working, most accessible, honest and knowledgeable agent with whom I have ever had the pleasure to work. The only downside is unfortunately we will not have the pleasure of working with you again because we are never moving!!! Thank you so much Bill for making our dream come true!!"

Heather Schrauben and Michael Sacco (Englewood, FL)

"Bill is a highly professional real estate agent who tells it like it is, which we greatly appreciated. What makes Bill so good: He has lived in the Sarasota area for a long time. This gives him a sense of knowledge about the area that allows him to give you the "real" background on the area, neighborhoods, builders, etc.. He seems to know everyone, which makes the process flow easier and with actionable insights. He learns what interests you and, not only provides you with guidance and representation on your home, but provides you with info on things to do locally that align with your interests. After looking for several months, Bill helped us find the perfect location to call home! I would recommend Bill and would definitely work with him again."
Heather Chamberlain (Nokomis, FL)

"Bill overachieved in every aspect of our dealings with him. His marketing plan resulted in a sale above our expectations. His help during the hurricane to finalize the sale will never be forgotten. Thank you, Bill Cantrell. You are the best."

"Bill was so professional. He came in and told me what I should update to improve the sale. He took care of having these items taken care of. I had to do nothing. There never was any stress on my part."
Donald J Henry (Sarasota, FL)

"Bill far exceeded any expectations we might have had in bringing our two real estate transactions to fruition. He is your ultimate advocate and brings enormous resources and relationships to help resolve any issue that might arise. He is not only highly qualified but equally as ethical and with undeniable integrity. We got a great price, and I would highly recommend him to anyone."
Doug & Bonnie Herr (Nokomis, FL)

"Bill was an absolute pleasure to work with when I was ready to sell my home in Sarasota. He came fully prepared at our first meeting and provided spot on expectations of the process. We discussed pricing and I believe we priced the property perfectly. My home sold in just three days! There's no one kinder and more patient than Bill, in this competitive real estate market."
Nancy Eichorn (Sarasota, FL)

"The sale of the house was easy and efficient! Bill came to our first meeting prepared to get to work. Once we were ready to sell, Bill handled everything. The house sold for over asking price and we had everything wrapped up within 30 days. It made for what could have been a stressful experience an extremely pleasant one. Thank you, Bill!"
Jennifer Neighbors (Nokomis, FL)

"Multiple Offers!!
Excellent, from the first discussions, listing agreement, property showings, to closing. We would highly recommend Bill to anyone buying or selling property in our area."

Jim & Sally Kernan (Nokomis, FL)

"Bill is very professional and listens to you during the entire sale process. He works with you to make sure that you fully understand the process and listens to the needs of the seller/buyer and provides honest feedback. I wouldn't have trusted the sell or purchase with anyone else, thank you Bill!!"
Peter & Kathy Colberg (Venice, FL)

"I have had the privilege of working with Bill Cantrell for over 10 years, during which he has successfully represented me in the sale of several properties. Throughout every transaction, Bill has consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, integrity, and expertise in the real estate market.
Several of these properties were complex and required careful coordination and expertise, and Bill managed every detail seamlessly. His strategic approach to marketing, exceptional negotiation skills, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction have resulted in outstanding outcomes time after time.
Over the years, I have come to trust Bill completely for his honest advice, sound judgment, and ability to navigate even the most challenging transactions with ease and confidence. He is a consummate professional and a trusted partner in every sense of the word.
I highly recommend Bill Cantrell to anyone seeking an experienced, dependable, and results-driven real estate professional."

"Bill Cantrell is a great realtor.
​​​​​​​He listed our house for sale, had an open house and sold it for full price that day! His knowledge of the market and associated demand was instrumental in selling the house. He provided us with all the relevant information and comparable sales information to allow us to price the house appropriately. He also went out of his way to help us finalize inspection report items that needed to be corrected.
He was so thorough from beginning to the end of the process and provided assistance well above and beyond what we expected from a realtor. We would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to sell their home."
Larry & Linda Keefe (Sarasota, FL)

"We met with Bill and signed an agreement for him to be the agent of record representing us in the sale of our Calusa Lakes home. Bill maintained constant communication with us from listing thru the closing. His advise was invaluable and we never felt "pressured" to make any decisions that were not in our best interest. We were impressed with his knowledge and experience in real estate.

​​​​​​​In summary, we highly recommend anyone in our market to consider engaging Bill Cantrell to either represent them in buying or selling a home. He was a great resource and advocate representing our best interests during the often stressful time of selling our home."
