“Top-Notch Real Estate Agent - Highly Recommend!”

“Isabella was an absolute pleasure to work with! The professional photographer she uses showed our property so beautifully and the portfolio of pictures and descriptions she created was impressive. I even considered keeping the house!! =) Her deep understanding of the area was very helpful and she provided comprehensive market analysis and comps which enabled us to price our property fairly. Isabella launched a marketing campaign that gave our property tremendous nationwide exposure. In addition, the realty group has a prominent location in Downtown Venice on W. Venice Avenue with an electronic viewing device on the outside of the building called the Window Vision. I have stopped to use it when walking past myself! She provided a weekly report that allowed us to see how many people viewed the house across multiple platforms. She held frequent open houses and always accommodated requests for individual showings. Isabella created a group text with my husband and I and frequently communicated which truly allowed us to feel like we were in the right hands and everything possible was being done to find the right buyers. She also provided sound advice with respect to pricing and with navigating the offer/acceptance process. I highly recommend Isabella as a real estate agent and if I were buying or selling again, I will engage with her for help.”

“Super-Agent Alert!”

“After several negative experiences trying to sell our house “the easy way” (one of which landed us temporarily displaced with all our belongings in storage), an endless cacophony from people trying to convince us that “no one is buying houses in North Port”, and to basically “give up, rent it out, or let someone just take it for next to nothing”, we decided to take a leap of faith, and try anyway. Nervous, we reached out to super-realtor, Isabella Shambora, who immediately calmed our fears, and assured us she would do everything in her power to sell our house. She had an excellent eye as well as instinct for what did and did not need to be updated, and through strategic marketing, she had our first offer rolling in mere days after the property was officially listed. But wait, there’s more! By the end of week 1, we had FIVE different offers, and 2 additional counters. Not only did we wind up selling our house (closing less than a month after listing it), but it sold for HIGHER than we had listed it for. In a market where everyone else had us convinced we would never even get it sold. Isabella was amazing to work with from start to finish and was a total professional with a heart of gold, always available to answer questions or nip potential issues in the bud, ensuring everyone got to the closing table smoothly. If you are thinking of selling your house or buying one in the Venice or North Port areas, I highly suggest giving Isabella Shambora a call. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Isabella!”

“Could not have been better!”

“Isabella is totally professional, organized, thorough and responsive as well as personable and friendly. She was able to quickly assess our needs and provided us with multiple properties to view. Once we chose the home that suited us best Isabella efficiently coordinated lawyers, bankers and other real estate agents in order to facilitate the transaction. She was fabulous and I will recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.”

“Isabella's market knowledge, communication, and professionalism were truly exceptional.”

“From the first conversation to closing day, Isabella made the entire selling process feel smooth, informed, and genuinely supported. With Isabella's deep real estate knowledge and seasoned experience guiding us, we felt like we had a true expert in our corner every step of the way. Our home had been sitting on the market with little progress, but everything changed the moment she stepped in. Her market expertise, strategic approach, and unwavering dedication completely transformed the experience. She refreshed our listing, communicated clearly at every step, and brought the right buyers through the door. Thanks to her professionalism and persistence, our home finally sold—and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

“Professional, Honest & Excellent”

“We sold our house in October, and Isabella Shambora made the whole process way easier than we expected. She always picked up the phone, answered every question (even the dumb ones), and kept us calm when things got stressful. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared — it never felt like we were just another deal. She gave us great advice on pricing and staging, and we ended up getting a result we were really happy with. If you want someone who’s real, straightforward, and on your side the whole way through, I can’t recommend Isabel enough.”

“Isabella is the best!!”

“As first-time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect or where to even begin, but Isabella guided us through every showing, every step with knowledge, care, and honesty. She was always available with any and all questions we had throughout the whole process. Highly, highly recommend utilizing her for your home buying!”

“Fast and Professional”


“In a market where “nobody’s buying houses”, Isabella Shambora had our house under contract in 8 days and (after receiving multiple offers) sold in less than a month for above listing price. Because of her hard work, dedication, commitment, and overall just being a genuine professional, my wife and I can now move on to the next chapter of our life together. If you’re selling a house in the Sarasota/Charlotte area, I highly recommend Isabella Shambora and Gulf Shores Realty. Fast, professional, and an absolute dream team.”
