“When I decided to lease my office and buy a commercial building to house my medical practice, I chose Gail Bowden without hesitation. Her ability to communicate with me as buyer and seller is remarkable. She gathers all relevant facts and presents them clearly, logically and patiently. Commercial real estate can be complex and Gail provides me with the information I need to make good decisions. I am so pleased with her as my commercial agent that when I decide to place my luxury home on the market I will be listing it with her!”   D.S. Sarasota, Florida

“Gail Bowden is a true professional, a pleasure to work with. As a long time real estate investor and developer in Sarasota, I have had the opportunity to work on several large projects with Gail. Her attention to detail, her ability to negotiate and her follow through made each project a winner. Our most recent success, a $3M commercial sale that closed in March, tells the story. Gail worked diligently to see this sale from contract to closing. I trust her judgment and know that she will guide me to the right investment every time.” M.K. Sarasota, Florida
