Ben did an excellent job finding a buyer for an office condo that I owned and no longer needed. The market for office condos in Bradenton is not as strong as residential and commercial space in Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch but Ben found a buyer who was a good fit for the complex. I was happy to sell and the condo complex was happy to get a new business. Ben kept me well informed throughout the sales process, prepared good marketing materials and photos, and kept the property highly visible on the web and with street signage. Ben was able to sell my unit for more than any other unit in the complex has sold in more than five years, which is a credit to his efforts. I would use Ben's services again without question.
Ben is an experienced, knowledgeable, and trustworthy real estate professional. I would highly recommend Ben and Michael Saunders & Company to handle commercial real estate matters.
Ben worked with us to sell a very unique commercial building in Bradenton. He was professional, attentive to our needs and kept us updated monthly on the marketing of the property and prospective buyers. I would highly recommend Ben if you are looking to sell commercial real estate.
My experience with Ben has been outstanding. He is a relationship driven professional who works diligently to ensure a positive outcome for his clients. He is a man of high integrity who always maintains a positive attitude. I cannot recommend Ben and Michael Saunders Commercial Realty highly enough.
Ben is a fantastic real estate professional. He works extremely hard and diligently to ensure smooth communication between parties on his transactions. He does a fantastic job bringing together land owners and developers to the negotiation table and getting things done. I would recommend Ben for any real estate transaction you may be working on as he is a true professional. Thanks Ben.
Ben represented the Seller on a deal in which I was Buyer. He was as helpful and attentive to my requests as any commercial agent I've dealt with - really helped make the deal happen. Definitely a rising star in the CRE industry - glad to have met and worked with him.
When we started looking for new corporate office space for Hide-Away Storage, we contacted Ben to help us find the right location. Ben’s experience and knowledge of the downtown Bradenton area helped us find just the right property for our company. We really enjoyed working with Ben and would highly recommend him.
It should also go without saying that Mr. Bakker has a great amount of talent and knowledge in the commercial arena and has been successful in assisting us with identifying a grade A commercial tenant for us. I believe in an institution that will resonate a positive vibe even in seeing the name on a plaque. It is my belief that your name does just that! In so doing it attracts sincere talent like Bobbie, Ben and repeat customers such as ourselves!
Ben couldn't have been more helpful with our search for office space near Downtown Bradenton. He truly took a personalized approach and his pro-active communication went above and beyond the norm. We would highly recommend Ben for anyone seeking help with their local real estate search.
I've done business with quite a few real estate (commercial and residential) agents, and I have to say that Ben is leaps ahead of ones I've dealt with in the past. He is knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and most of all...willing to go that extra mile to make the deal work for his customers. He is very responsive and attentive. He showed up at meetings with the county and offered useful comments and assistance. I hope to work with him in the future. Thanks again, Ben, for a great experience. I recognize you as one of the rising stars in real estate in Manatee County.
I always enjoy working with Ben. He is knowledgable on the local market, professional and client centric.
Ben Bakker recently handled a commercial lease in my office building. He did a great job on the photography & marketing write-up. He handled the showings in a professional manner & gave monthly reports on activity. Most importantly, he leased the space! Marla Hough
Ben Bakker is a true professional. He did two deals for me in short order. I recommend him highly.
Ben Bakker did an outstanding job securing tenants for a 2 unit commercial space located near State College of Florida. He was very responsive to very question I asked and extremely diligent on following through with every single detail. This was my first time working with him but it will not be my last. He knows his real estate and made the leasing process very easy.
Ben did a fantastic job for us to sell our commercial building in downtown Bradenton. From evaluating the market, advising us on a listing price, identifying a potential buyer, and helping us manage the process through to closing, Ben was a pro and got it done!! Thank you, Ben!!
