"Eileen Gillen recently sold my mother's condo on Longboat Key. Because my mother is elderly and lives out of the area, I was the main contact person with Eileen throughout the process of signing the contract, preparing the condo for sale, and the marketing period. Although we clearly hired Eileen as an agent for business purposes, she instantly became a sincere and trusted friend. No matter what complicated problem came up, she was constantly there offering support and solving the problem. Sometimes I had to contact her by email or phone ten times a day and she always responded immediately. She voluntarily spent dozens of hours with me working on the clearing and clean out process. Really, there was nothing that she wouldn't do to help me and my mother. She sold the condo in record time at a very fair price with conditions that were beneficial to my mother. We felt extremely lucky that we were able to find Eileen. Thanks Eileen! "

  -Diana M, Client

"Eileen is a very bright, caring, and talented individual. I have known her for many years before she relocated to Longboat key. We have mutual friends in the Philadelphia area where we both used to live before moving to Sarasota. Being a practicing psychologist for over 20 years, she certainly has the skills for dealing with people and understanding their needs. I know that she and her husband have owned numerous homes and have also been involved for many years with buying, rehabbing, and selling homes. So, she of course has excellent knowledge and experience. She clearly knows what is involved in successfully buying and selling homes. I have no doubt that she will provide superior representation to anyone trying to buy or sell their home."

A consummate professional. "

She has been a great help to me. Helping me in everyday life as well as during an emergency. Eileen is a caring and honest person. I'm proud to call her my friend, and very thankful to have her as a neighbor. "

"Eileen Gillen is AWESOME. First she found us the perfect new condo and then she helped us negotiate a great price. She seems pretty laid back, but she's definitely not laid back when it comes to looking after her clients! So of course we listed the old condo with Eileen and she did not let us down. She and Brian explained everything, and were so conscientious through every step of the process. One or the other were present at every showing and provided feedback from other brokers. Closing came off without a hitch and here we are, sitting in our new home enjoying the waterfront view. Thank you Eileen and Brian, you are truly a dynamic duo."

"We were just out browsing one Sunday afternoon and stopped at an Open House hosted by Eileen Gillen. What an amazing, wonderful, honest woman. Although that particular house was not within our means, she was diligent in finding homes within our price range, and did not just send the automated listings, but made a point of keeping in touch with us and checking to see if our wants and needs had changed, and if she needed to add or delete listing types. She is a realtor that her brokerage should be proud to have on their team. Thank you Eileen for your help. We will definitely share her name with friends and acquaintances looking to buy or sell."
