I don’t write reviews … but now I find myself at the keyboard. Sometimes, people sell their real estate because it’s the financially prudent thing to do. Other times, it’s often because something has happened in life that warrants the sale of a property. It was apparent to me that it was time to bring my mom home. Finding a good realtor was just one item on the never ending list of tasks and administrative issues I was responsible for … and then, by sheer happenstance, I was referred to Josie Cline. Inside of just a few conversations, I felt as if I was talking to someone I’ve known my entire life. Josie assessed the situation, took the listing, and became the intelligent, experienced, boots-on-the-ground realtor to get the job done. She had to deal with some above-and-beyond circumstances surrounding the property, and she expeditiously solved the problems and had an offer on the table within hours. I’ll always look back on this time in my life and how difficult it was … and then I will smile when I think about how fortunate I was to have Josie Cline in my corner. You won’t find a more devoted, experienced, and hard-working realtor.

There is no one better than having Josie as your realtor on Siesta Key. She is knowledgeable about the market and often has inside scoop on private deals. I reside in Illinois and Josie found me an investment property that I couldn’t be happier with. She is very patient especially with working with someone outside of the state. She has done facetime calls and videos of the properties.
She is a hard worker providing me with multiply inquires that I ask for (rental information). She is the best! Working with Josie is like working with your best friend. I highly recommend her.

We are based in the UK and needed a to sell an elderly relative’s Sarasota home. Josie has proved herself to be more than ’just a Realtor.‘ Josie has an amazing depth and breadth of knowledge of real estate in Sarasota, and her support and fantastic contacts have helped us immensely when dealing with a complicated situation. Her communication is excellent, which has been vital when dealing with the international aspect of our situation, and her response times to our enquiries have been very quick. It is obvious that Josie really cares about her clients and what is right for them, she goes ‘above and beyond’ in her role. I would not hesitate to recommend Josie to anyone selling or buying a house in the Sarasota area.

Josie did an excellent job asking questions, listening, and distilling my scattered ideas of what I was looking for into a list of a wide range of properties to see. Many of them were appealing, one so much that an offer was made and accepted less than 24 hours after the showing. Josie works very hard for her clients, literally around the clock, and stays on top of every detail through the closing of the sale and beyond. Josie is exceptionally professional, friendly, and courteous, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Sarasota area. I highly recommend Josie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Best Realtor® ever.
Josie came recommended to me as an agent, with me as out-of-town Florida relocation. Josie worked with me initially on purchasing property in the Sarasota area and later when I had a condo to sell, over the course of numerous years.
I initially moved to assist with my aging mother, and she helped with some creative ideas. Not only was she knowledgeable about the area, but she was also a great resource when I needed other services such as painting, furniture moves, charitable donation, etc., Josie had a reputable contact to help me. She went out of her way to best understand my purchasing and selling needs and the best way for her to meet those. She seemed to anticipate my concerns and needs, making a long-distance sale as smooth as can be, communicating with me along the whole path. She was worked within the bounds and difficulties of inheritance and the legal processes, always able to facilitate any issue that came up.
Jose has a lovely disposition, and I always felt like I had an advocate and a knowledgeable resource who looked out for my best interests. I would highly recommend Jose Cline for any realtor services needed in the Sarasota area.

Josie was a client of mine and I knew once I was ready to sell my home, I wanted to use her because I felt she was trustworthy and would take care of my family. Last year was hard for us. My husband was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and I had to leave my career to care for him full time while he went through treatments, surgeries and hospital stays. I became a bit panicked when the medical bills started rolling in. I thought it might be a good idea to sell and possibly move closer to my family, but I didn’t really have a plan. I called Josie and told her I wanted her to sell my home. Josie could have made a good sum of money off of us, our home had grown in value quite a bit and I know she had a line of people wanting a 3/2. I shared my situation with her and I was shocked when she told me she didn’t think selling my home was the best idea for my family right now….and she was right. I will forever be grateful to her for putting my family’s needs before her own, really considering my situation and the incredible amount of stress we were under. She recommended we instead look into lowering our interest rate, and offered other home saving advice to help with our medical bills. We are still in our home a year later. When we are ready to sell, Josie will be the one we will call.

When our original agent went north during our listing, Josie Cline very aptly took over managing the sale of our home. She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and great to work with. She was able to negotiate favorably with the buyers agent. I can hightly recommend Josie to others buying or selling in the Sarasota area.
G. Zittel
Josie is incredibly responsive and always on top of all of the details. She is very knowledgeable and very good at determining the best strategy for any given situation. She listed one property for me which sold and also assisted in the purchase of three others as buying agent.

I want to thank you for referring the perfect agent for Lauren and Ben. Josie listened to their needs and wants. She thoroughly educated them of the area. Not only that; she found them a home. They did not really expect to find one on this trip but Josie did her magic. You have a real star in your office that needs special recognition!
C. Carey
Josie is the consummate professional always going the extra mile to see that her clients interests are addressed. She is tireless in her efforts to to represent her clients and find them the buyer or seller that they seek. I the Sarasota area Josie is the only Realtor I would consider working with.
D. Butler
Josie was amazing, we were purchasing our home from upstate NY and truly believe had it not been for Josie, her help, knowledge and hard work, our deal would have fallen through. She made everything as easy for us as she could. She’s a gem! Josie went above and beyond in every aspect of the purchase of our house, along with taking us to numerous homes before the purchase of our dream home. Always patient and kind, she was just amazing!!!

Josie has assisted us with relocating our primary home and 1031 exchange rental properties to Sarasota. She has demonstrated an outstanding knowledge base in the Sarasota real estate market for both condos and homes; was amazingly responsive in collecting and showing us the relevant listings; and was a thorough researcher and knowledgeable advisor when it came to assemble and negotiate the offers. I recommend Josie without hesitation based on my experience with her as both a buyers and sellers agent.
B. Kerger
We highly recommend Josie. It was so nice working with Josie on the purchase of our 2nd home on Siesta Key. She took the time to know each residence we were interested in before we toured the condo. She has expert knowledge of the various properties and complexes on the Key. We have already recommended her to friends!
B. Bartlette
Josie Cline was an exceptional Realtor. She helped me from the first day of searching for homes all the way through closing. She is very knowledgeable about real estate, explained everything to me throughout the entire process, and made it a pleasurable experience. I am very happy Josie was my Realtor and recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a home in Sarasota in the future.
Hasam Seif
Josie, you are absolutely wonderful and a true professional! You are a prime example of what every realtor should be like and your seller should be very proud to be representing them! You were knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. Thank you for being such a great realtor!
Frank Koziel
When I worked with Josie, she had an amazing “can do” spirit and attitude. And when faced with an obstacle, she found a positive way around to the solution. Always impressive, and holding a very kind heart, I found her very accomplished and trustworthy. Highly recommend.
Erin Taylor; Little Rock, AR
Josie is an absolute rock star. We’ve worked with other Realtors® in the past and we’ll never have to stress out through the process again. Josie went above and beyond to help us find our dream home! Despite the real estate market’s crazy ups and downs, we still found and closed on our home in a few short months. She was able to get us in to see properties asap (sometimes only hours after sending us the homes) and was able to assist us with the process every step of the way! It was also a huge plus that she was super knowledgeable about home structures, remodeling, prices of homes in that particular area, etc. So, we felt safe with knowing there was no way she would let us buy a “lemon” that would never work with what we were looking for or that wouldn’t get its money back for that area. She was honest, beyond helpful, one of the nicest people to work with, and professional throughout everything! We would recommend Josie 1,000 times over.

Josie is extremely knowledgeable about the listings in her area. She listens well and is able to match her clients with appropriate listings. Josie wants to do more than make a sale she wants to make the right sale for her people. We met Josie as walk-ins to her office and we could not have been more fortunate or better cared for. This lady is the one you want to work with. There is no doubt in our minds.
Mary & Bernie
Working with Josie had been an absolute pleasure. We have worked with other Realtors® in the past, including for the sale of our Siesta Key home, however, we wish we would have had Josie handle these sales! She is a knowledgeable, practical, savvy, and astute Realtor®. She gave us accurate direct feedback, provided great attention to detail, and sold our condo in record time. We highly recommend her!
