Michael Ballantyne, A Classic Approach

Michael Ballantyne is a Sarasota REALTOR® with 18 years in the market, selling through Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Nokomis and Osprey, and handling rentals alongside sales.

The practice trades as A Classic Approach and states its four values on the front page, which would be boilerplate except that his reviews keep describing exactly that: a seller who had failed to sell for over a year, then found the process easy, with things fixed along the way that most agents would not have touched.

He says his favorite part of the work is watching clients get what they came for, which is a modest claim for someone whose reviewers keep asking for a sixth star.
