About Me

Amy Gonzalez, a realtor in the Englewood area. About five years ago I was looking to purchase some property in Florida my husband at the time went down and purchased a piece of land through a dare I say makeshift realtor that's making a quick sale on someone from the north. Ha! I was convinced to find a good realtor for any future purchases we may be making. I found Amy in that time period; she had actually sent me seeds for wildflowers to attract butterflies in my yard in Buffalo NY. unfortunately, it never stops snowing here so they did not make it. The plans for my future had somewhat changed the original lot we purchased was in the Englewood area we were going to have a home built prior to COVID, due to increased building costs that dream was put on hold. We decided on a small condo in Englewood, 600 square feet of bliss. Little did I know that after 35 years of marriage and after retiring from my 25-year career at a local bank and purchasing a retirement home in Florida and just basically having everything aligned up correctly, my husband stepped out of our marriage, my world as I knew it was over. After 35 years I'm left with my home in Buffalo NY where I have lived for 30 years, my beautiful daughter, who is a pediatric Hospice RN and my spitfire granddaughter, who is four and runs the show. I am a breast cancer survivor and after 18 years of remission unfortunately my cancer has returned and is stage 4 metastasized to my bones. You may wonder why I'm telling you this long story, I'm trying to explain to you my character, my values and how they coincide with Amy's. Amy never hesitated once to help me she listed the property, recently sold the property and even though it's a minimal amount it is still an amount that will allow my daughter my granddaughter and myself (3 generations of strong Irish women) to come to Manasota Key to enjoy ourselves. Amy was determined to get this sold for us, and she did not disappoint. I know that nowadays people are very quick to comment when things don't go right in a business and turn to social media to negatively impact the establishment. I've worked in customer service for my full career, and I have an extensive background in real estate and dealing with realtors, I understand the logic of quality customer service. I have wanted to write this letter to you since I first met Amy in person, at that time she explained to me the core values behind your company and what you personally stood for and the strength behind the business that you're holding. Amy goes above and beyond for her family, her customers, the community and of course her sales, and her heart is in it. She has compassion about what she is doing, professional yet very funny. In my opinion that is a huge asset for your company, and very unseen in today's professional world. Amy has checked on me, she has checked on my daughter she has prayed for us she has laughed with me, and I think she may have even cried with me. Amy has never missed a beat she is a true asset to your company, and I just thought that she needed a little recognition from the "BOSS" not that this can even begin to portray the immense appreciation that I have for her.
