Wow - Irene is a fantastic person and a fantastic realtor! We are so grateful for Irene's hard work, persistence, communication and commitment throughout this entire sales process. My brother and I were selling our father's house and we do not live in Florida. Irene stepped up on so many occasions, helping out in any way needed. There were several tasks she volunteered to assist us with, I believe, simply out of the kindness of her heart. We appreciate Irene, and HIGHLY recommend her as your next realtor!
She was super helpful and was very polite to deal with and most of all was willing to help us find properties we were looking for.
Irene was so helpful with any questions we had as first time buyers. She made sure we had all the information we needed during the inspection period and met with the contractors to ensure everything was done correctly. She was there every step of the way and we are so happy we chose Irene with Micheal Saunders & Co. Definitely will be referring her to anyone looking to sell or buy their property! Thank you!
I have nothing but praise for Irene Slattery who works out of your Englewood Office. I have known Irene ever since we moved to Florida in 1998 through the Business and Professional Women of Englewood and Venice. (BPWEV) Every position Irene held in this organization, especially as Treasurer, she did a superb job and on top of it, she did it with efficiency, organization and always cheerfulness! So when she retired from banking and started her career again in real estate, I reached out to her, knowing she would apply the same principals to her new career as she had done in the past to her banking career and dedication to BPWEV. Irene lived at Englewood Isles with her parents and knows this neighbor very well. I could not have asked a more professional person to help me find a smaller home in this neighborhood. Irene contacted me as soon as a house came on the market which she knew would be the one I could be happy in. Everything went so smoothly, she knew who to contact, inspectors for all the inspections required and repair men to help with minor repairs. I recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Sarasota or Charlotte County.
Irene worked with us over a two year period in getting our property ready for sale. As an international seller, she was able to navigate the significant time differences, provide recommendations for services/profession to assist with the sale. She worked very hard to achieve a timely sale with most favourable terms. We would definitely recommend Irene to anyone looking to sell a property.

It was my good fortune to have contacted and retained Irene Slattery as my listing realtor at Michael Saunders. Irene worked tirelessly and made the sale seem effortless...which it was on my part. From the first encounter with me to the final contract signatures, Irene was most professional. She was always available when I needed her. Irene went above and beyond to make the sale of my home a pleasant experience. The listing was incredible...from the drone videos and photos, specific desirable home amenities outlined, and the market research, everything was most professionally done. It is evident that she loves her job and had my best interest at heart. I highly recommend Irene Slattery at Michael Saunders. You won't be disappointed.
Talked about our wants and needs and irene was very understanding and professional
Fantastic Realtor! Irene had our property sold in just 9 days! We also recommended her to our Uncle, who was looking to move to Florida and she found him a perfect home in 2 days!! Very professional and stays in contact with all updates. Great experience and highly recommend her for all your property needs!! Mary Jo and Brady Butler
First I would like to say that I never write reviews. I'm not on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media. I have to say that I originally hired another well know agency. After 3 1/2 months I only received one low ball offer. I then hired Irene Slattery from Michael Saunders & Company. Right away I saw a complete difference in professionalism. A professional photographer was hired by Irene. Wow, it was like they were producing a music video and the house was the star. Irene's communication and knowledge just outstanding. It takes a lot for me to take time out of my busy day to write this. I would highly recommend Irene and Michael Sanders if you want your house sold. What the other agency was not able to accomplish in 3 1/2 months Irene did in one day. Yes, Irene sold my house in one day. I'm results driven...….she has it! Chris W.
Excellent Agent! Extremely helpful, especially since we were conducting business from out of state. Irene is highly professional and we would recommend her to anyone for your real estate needs!
Can't say enough great things about Irene! Initially met her as she was the realtor for the party that some family members were purchasing a home from. She made such a good impression in the way she handled things that I reached out to her when my wife and I were looking at a home of our own in the nearby area. That says a great of how professional she is, how she handles her business and that she is truly relational, which is just part of what makes Irene so great at what she does, Michael Saunders & Co is very fortunate to have such a great person on their team. Thanks again Irene, for all your help and continued help into the future!
Irene does an outstanding job of representing her clients, always keeping their best interest in mind. Hard working, detail oriented and complete transparency affords Irene’s clients the very best of service whether on the buy or sale side. I would highly recommend Irene.

Irene was lovely to work with...I look forward to doing business with her and her agency..
If you are looking for an honest, well-organized, professional real estate agent, I highly recommend Irene Slattery. My wife Maura and I meet Irene in Englewood FL to start our next journey in life, looking for our retirement home. The plan from the start was to do some recon, and in one or two years, we would purchase something...well, that ended after 48 working with Irene. We found the home we love and an additional lot for a future build. It was and still is a pleasure to work with Irene. We have been in contact several times since the closing on our properties, and Irene has always been there to assist in solving problems or giving advice. Thank you, John & Maura
When I made the difficult decision that the time had come to sell the lovely beachfront home my husband and I had lived in and enjoyed for more than 30 years, Irene was a perfect choice. I had met her sometime before and knew that she was honest, knowledgeable and diplomatic, all traits I was looking for in a Realtor. We had a rapport from the outset, that instilled the confidence I needed to move ahead, and Irene was by my side every step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions, patient and supportive. During the process, Irene became more than my Realtor, she became a special friend. I highly recommend Irene Slattery and the Michael Saunders Company for anyone looking to sell their home or property quickly and efficiently. Jeanne Storch
One of these homes was mine! Irene did a great job in helping Gene, herself and my family get it fixed up and ready to go. She was right on the her recommendation and it sold on the first day! She is an amazing sister in law as well as businesswoman/realtor. She organized the closing, kept me organized and even talked me through another purchase. She is patient, super efficient??, organized and a real champion
Working with Irene was a true pleasure. She is attentive, efficient, and more than helpful. The time we spent together never felt rushed or pressured and she was always happy to answer any questions I had. I have worked with other realtors in the past but Irene brings a level professionalism that I hadn't gotten elsewhere. She really took the time to get to know myself and my family so that she could help us find a home we loved. Highly recommend!
Very very professional, gets information to you promptly and honestly. I would definitely recommend her as a representing agent.
I would highly recommend Irene. Was great working with you.
The importance of engaging with the right realtor to conduct and market the sale of property is an important decision . Thankfully l made the right choice in engaging the services of Irene. All aspects of the sale were handled in a competent and professional manner. I would not hesitate but to highly recommended what can only be described as five star service.
Irene is an outstanding realtor . After buying or selling 20-25 properties she is the best we have worked with to date . She has a high degree of integrity . She is honest and extremely responsive to any question you have . We are new to Florida so don’t know her other than our recent transaction but we have worked a a lot of realtors over the years .

Our experience with Irene was wonderful. She truly cares about you beyond just the possible sale. I highly recommend anyone looking for a property in Englewood Florida to call Irene. She lives in this community and cares deeply about this community and the Real Estate profession.Thank you Irene Sincerely Jan and Kent
Irene is great at what she does! She is thorough, professional, competent and caring. She was very attentive to our needs during the whole process. We were amazed by the standard of communication and compassion she showed throughout the selling process. She took care of everything so well, we didn't have any time for worries. Thanks, Irene!
Thank you for selecting me for the Lemon Bay Conservancy Elsie Bracken Environmental Science Scholarship. My family and I are extremely grateful for your generosity. I will be putting this scholarship to good use in my upcoming school year. I have just competed my final week of senior year and looking forward to starting a new chapter of my life. Even with the restrictions Covid has put in place, this academic year has proven to be my most successful. Being at Lemon Bay High School has greatly shaped me over the years. I am proud to say that I am both much more educated and much more mature than I was when I first entered the school. I have also met many new people who have served as both crucial supports and crucial lessons. I see the present as a time to keep my beloved friends and family close, as I am about to begin the next chapter of my life. I am excited to continue my education with your aid and prepare for my future career in environmental science. I will be studying at the Tampa campus of USF starting this fall. I am looking forward to a new beginning. I hope to work alongside other passionate individuals in conservation. Again, I am honored to be receiving this scholarship. Thank you for your generosity. Sincerely, Talon Bottenfield
We recently purchased our Dream Home in Englewood with Irene's assistance. What a great lady! She did everything in her power to ensure that we closed on time and without any hiccups, including managing all the third party groups needed to close. Even after we closed, she helped by meeting contactors at our home to complete repairs that we could not be available for. Finally, she presented a very personal gift to display in our new home. I can't say enough!
Throughout the entire home selling process, Irene was always available, communicative, extremely knowledgeable of the market and most importantly she created a calm environment for our family. Not to mention our house sold in under a month. Thank you so much Irene!
Just started working with Irene, and already feel very comfortable about how things will progress in my search for my future re-location.
Since Irene became our realtor, she has worked hard at advertising and showing our duplex, doing everything possible to sell our property! She keeps us informed of any type of activity concerning our duplex, which we greatly appreciate. We are very pleased with everything she does for us and appreciate her very much.
Thank God for Irene. She is not only friendly and warm but very knowledgeable, professional and honest too. It was not easy to purchase a house these days especially being first time homebuyers and with the bidding and prices getting crazier each moment that we thought we will not be able to find a house. She has guided us, made sure we understand every details of the contract and answered our questions. She has been with us in our journey beyond the closing deal --months beyond, that when we met some issues with our septic tank multiple times, she contacted the seller and assisted in finding solutions. She also gave us information who to contact in making sure the house is kept at its best and made sure we have all the warranty we needed to cover. We thought we know just fine but with Irene and Maureen we get to learn more, so much more. We are grateful that we crossed paths with Irene. We most especially thank God for her.
Hallo Irene, Everything was perfect in our talk today afternoon. I am very excised and successful with Michael Saunders % COM. to find again a lovely home for the future. Inge.
To me, honest ongoing communication is the key to a good relationship, and Irene Slattery came through for me in that regard every step of the way. She is competent and professional in every sense of the word, making excellent suggestions for showing off my house to best advantage without the need for pricy staging. After Hurricane Ian wreaked its havoc on Englewood, many homes went on the market. However, Irene had several showings within the first week, and the sale was completed in record time, thanks to her diligence and help with the extensive paperwork required to complete the process. I am a widow and have health issues necessitating a move after living in my home for 30 years. Irene is a warm caring person, who has now become a good friend. I have no hesitation in recommending Irene Slattery and the Michael Saunders Company when it comes to selling your house quickly & efficiently.
We are so thankful to have Irene for our realtor. She gives her all, trying to make the selling experience enjoyable. We look at her as our friend, not just our realtor. She definitely has a 5 star rating.
Patricio Trench
We could not have been happier!!! Irene was professional and caring, and made herself available to answer any questions we had!! Even during a hurricane she made sure that the closing on my mom's house went smoothly. We would certainly choose her again with our real estate needs and can recommend her unequivocally to anyone.
Irene definitely deserves an excellent rating. Very pleasant lady! Spent a long time with us viewing the house. Very knowledgeable about the listing!
We cannot say enough about how much we appreciated Irene’s excellent efforts in helping us find and buy our new home. She was always pleasant, patient, professional and persistent in working with the numerous people involved with a real estate closing and guiding us through the process. That is why we have now asked her to sell our old house and would highly recommend her and Michael Saunders & Company to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
We haven’t had the opportunity to do business with Ms Slattery yet, but she was very helpful in providing us with information. She answered all communications in a very timely and professional manner. We hope to someday do business with her . In the meantime we plan to pass her name on to folks we know should they be looking for a realtor .
Irene went above and beyond what I thought any real estate agent could do she made buying a home in Florida I wonderful experience for my wife and I I would recommend Irene to anybody she is very valuable asset to The Michael Saunders company,She gets five golden stars
Irene, was a Godsend for me. Time and time again she went above and beyond the expectations of a real estate agent. She was always informed, kept me informed and provided the answers to any questions I had. Irene made the whole process seemless, especially considering I don't live in the area where the property is located. I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone and everyone!
I'm impressed by how much time, effort and support the Englewood Chamber puts into local organizations that benefit the community and the additional programs they offer to it's members to improve the quality of live here.
Working with Irene is excellent. Always responsive
Irene was friendly & Great !
Irene is friendly, efficient and gets things done in a timely manner. She is also a nice person who goes that extra mile!!
Thank you very much for taking care of every detail with the sale of our house. Everything was smooth throughout the transaction. Thanks again.
Working with Irene has truly been an outstanding experience. She has helped me through every step of my difficult journey in purchasing my new home. I expected to close on my new home in October 2022. However, it was impossible to purchase a homeowner's insurance policy in the state of Florida following Hurricane Ian's landing on Sept. 28, 2023, as insurance companies would not enter into any new agreements. To compound the issue, there was an open claim against the property's current homeowner's insurance policy for a pool cage collapse caused by that hurricane; further disqualifying me from obtaining an insurance binder. Therefore, I couldn't secure a mortgage loan in spite of my excellent credit rating. There were other delays as well. The roof damage repair, upgrade of outdated plumbing, and pool cage reconstruction required permits, and then inspections to close those permits and the open insurance claim, before the county would allow the sale of the property. This seemed to drag on forever. It was a nightmare, but Irene was a wonderful support. She put me in touch with all the resources I needed and worked with all parties to extend the purchase agreement closing date several times until I was finally able to obtain an insurance binder, secure the funds from another source, and close all permits in order to purchase the property. Irene is a very conscientious and talented professional with strong ethics, and she is a genuinely thoughtful and caring person. I have already introduced Irene to an interested family member and will continue to do so at every opportunity. Kind regards, Alice A. Hyatt
