I highly recommend Lueanne Wood, PA real estate agent for all your real estate needs. Lueanne provided us with resources and support for a smooth and professional property sale.
As a real estate agent, Lueanne conducts her work thoroughly and efficiently throughout the entire listing, showing, negotiation, and closing process. She marketed our home for a turnkey cash sale and found a rental in our community. Luanne’s ability to communicate effectively and negotiate to ensure her client’s satisfaction contributes to her success in real estate.
Lueanne is a dependable and knowledgeable real estate agent who helped us prepare our home for sale and offered various referrals for construction, inspectors, maintenance, and home cleaning. Her professionalism and expertise has allowed us to have minimal worries during an important time. Our home was listed a week prior to Hurricane Ian and we were out of state. Luanne was extremely helpful prior to and after Hurricane Ian. She prepared our home for the Hurricane, quickly assessed damage after, and had all repairs completed within a week. Luanne went above and beyond as a real estate agent during a very stressful time. I highly recommend Lueanne and her services with high confidence. ~ J.R. & Monique R.
Lueanne,
Thank you so much for getting us to today’s closing. We believe it was a success for all parties due, in very large part, to your work.
We are back home in MD and tonight (there is wine involved) we are relaxing from a pretty crazy (for us) few weeks. Below is a short note-that you may feel free to share with others-about our recent home sale experience.
All best and many thanks. ~ Nancy, David and The Harps
In February 2023, real estate professional, Lueanne Wood, was instrumental in the successful sale of our home in the Golden Beach neighborhood of Venice Island. Lueanne leveraged her deep knowledge of the Venice real estate market as well as her marketing skills to help us: price our home, market our home, receive an acceptable offer, and get us to closing within 3 weeks of listing. Amazing.
Lueanne provided us with excellent service from pre “go to market” activities, marketing, negotiation, and closing – all the practical matters that occur during the sale of a home. Lueanne maintained a steady communication link with us throughout and kept each commitment she made to us. She was present at all showings, inspections, and walk-throughs. We are pleased we had a chance to conduct business with Lueanne; she brought value in both the business end of the sale and in getting the details squared away to keep the deal on track. ~ David & Nancy
I know you probably are told “thank you” many times for the assistance you give a buyer or seller, but I wanted you to know, what you do for your clients goes above and beyond.
Since I recently experienced both sides of the “coin” as a buyer for 4438 Via del Villetti Drive and as the seller for 633 Alhambra Road #1106 I can certainly attest to the fact that you are professionals, compassionate and truly know what you are doing.
Going through the buying process with an attorney’s office seemed a little daunting – especially since our case is a little unique. But after the experience with the title company MSC on February 17, 2021, I am so happy we went the correct and professional route the first time!
Thank you for always looking out for your clients, always being there and triple-checking everything. I also want to thank you for everything you have done in the past for my aunt and uncle, Kathy and Jim. I am so pleased to have become friends with you! ~ Ann-Marie
I recently sold my home on the island of Venice. This was probably my 9th home sale and I have never before written a letter of recommendation for a real estate agent. Some of my past agents were good and a few were fair, but only one has been outstanding — Lueanne Wood!
Just a note of thanks. I cannot believe how much has been accomplished since this past Monday evening. This could not have come together without your attention. And last evening, to get an email response from you at 11pm, was icing on the cake. I look forward to the closing. ~ Bill
I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all your hard work! We are so happy with our new house and I really appreciate your guidance throughout the process. Thanks for all your valuable advice regarding inspections as well, we wouldn’t have known to do the plumbing inspection but I’m so glad we did it, I have total peace of mind knowing that everything is in good working order. I’ll be sure to call you the next time we’re in the market! ~ Jaclyn McNamara
I am writing this letter to share our experience with Lueanne Wood. Two weeks ago my husband and I thought we had found a condo that would fit our investment plan. We had walked with other agents in the past. However, I had heard from friends who had bought or sold in the Venice area. So we contacted Lueanne. Within an hour, she was able to take us through and answer all of our questions. In our world, we appreciate efficiency, knowledge and grace. She was all of that and more. We trusted her. Not only was she prepared, she made us comfortable with the process. Always smiling, sharing Venice’s history and secrets. Although we did not purchase the condo, we would be glad to recommend her to others as well. Lueanne is an amazing agent and an even more as a person. That is why we are grateful to have her as our agent. ~ V. Weaver
I know you probably are told “thank you” many times for the assistance you give a buyer or seller, but I wanted you and Wendy to know, what you do for your clients goes above and beyond.

Please accept my sincerest thanks for everything you did for us during a most difficult time. Your efficient, expeditious and extremely professional handling of our home’s sale was greatly appreciated. From start to finish, you go well beyond the call of duty in order to get the job done. I also would like to thank you for the gifts at the closing. Your thoughtfulness and attention to every last detail does not go unnoticed. ~ Danielle Scoglio
Margaret & I wish to thank you for all your wonderful service in finding us a new home. After twenty-plus years on Siesta Key, we were ready to re-establish our roots in Venice and knew to call Lueanne Wood to find us what we were looking for. Well, you certainly didn’t let us down as we purchased the first house you showed us! Again, thank you Lueanne, we love the results. ~ Bruce & Margaret Jean
Lueanne Wood has been our sales representative twice. Initially she served us as a buyer, and most recently as a seller. Her wealth of knowledge about Venice is tremendous. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident every step of the way. She was always available and able to answer all of our questions. Her 30 years of experience made her the perfect real estate agent for us. Her expertise in media presentation had our condo listed and sold within a few weeks. We have always found Lueanne to be professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My husband and I are very happy clients! Lueanne has achieved her goal. In her words, “I’m the real estate agent for you!”
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your efforts guiding us throughout the process. We are very happy in our new home and appreciate your help guiding us thru it all. It made it so much easier dealing with inspections and it’s invaluable to know that all is in good working order. If ever I need help or advice I’ll be sure to contact you. Again, thank you for helping us thru it all. ~ Helga Kessel
Over the past twenty years, my husband and I have owned multiple pieces of property on and off the Island. During this time we have employed Lueanne Wood when purchasing and selling these properties. Why do we trust Lueanne to get the job done? Because she GETS the job done. Honest to a fault. Heads and shoulders above almost all realtors in knowledge of the market. Always answers calls in a timely manner. Great intuitive sense of what to do when. Injects humor when it’s needed. If someone else in the process isn’t doing his/her job, she’ll pick up the ball. She GETS the job done. ~ Pamela Groff
We wanted to send a quick message to let you know how much we appreciate your help and guidance while purchasing our home in Venice. We know that you put in many hours of hard work to help us find the perfect home to fit our needs. Your knowledge of the area, and helpful recommendations while crafting our offer, made the whole process very easy for our family. Thank you for everything! ~ Bethany & Franklin Williams
I’d like to share my experience with Lueanne Wood and Gulf Shores Realty and hope that you find this helpful in your relocation plans. My wife and I had been contemplating early retirement and a move from Massachusetts where we have lived our entire lives. We had previously made several visits around the country to explore a suitable place for an active lifestyle and narrowed our search to the gulf coast of Florida. Before meeting with Lueanne, we had worked with several agents in the Tampa Bay Area with a lot of effort, but nothing fit us. After more research, we decided to visit Venice and we googled “the best buyer’s agent in Venice”. After thumbing through a few profiles, we found Lueanne Wood. I contacted her at 9:00 at night hoping to leave a voice mail message and she immediately picked up the phone; an impressive start! Instantly, we could tell that Lueanne wanted to get to know us. As we talked, we appreciated her honesty and solid guidance on not just buying a house, but the whole process of moving. We arranged to meet her Memorial Day weekend and we were even more impressed! Lueanne said no need to hunt for a hotel, we could stay at one of her seasonal rental properties! We stayed at her beautiful mid-century home right on the island!! Lueanne went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and also invited us to her beachfront property for a Memorial Day party! We fell in love with Venice and instantly felt at home. If you want a real professional who doesn’t waste your time, gets straight to the point, gives unadulterated honesty and opinion, is tenacious about her client’s success, then adjust your seatbelt and call Lueanne! Look no further, Lueanne has a vast network and simply knows how to get the job done. In any business, the difference between success and failure is the ability to execute. Lueanne’s personal touch made us feel like she was looking out for our best interests and there is no doubt about her reputation, style and tenacity. She helped us to find a great home in our budget and to also introduce us to a new Florida lifestyle on the island of Venice. Our relationship has morphed into a friendship and we are immensely grateful that we met the right person at the right time. If you want a real pro, do not hesitate to contact Lueanne. We can only imagine how effective she must be on the selling side as well! Her knowledge of the market and the area is second to none. I’d say best of luck, but you won’t need much of it when you work with Lueanne! ~ Amy & Sal, Venice, Florida
I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all your hard work! We are so happy with our new house and I really appreciate your guidance throughout the process. Thanks for all your valuable advice regarding inspections as well, we wouldn’t have known to do the plumbing inspection but I’m so glad we did it. I have total peace of mind knowing that everything is in good working order. I’ll be sure to call you the next time we’re in the market! ~ Jaclyn McNamara
Thank you for the outstanding performance on selling our condo. Never thought that in a million years that we would have it listed and sold in less than 24 hours. And to top things off you sold for full listing price and a cash sale! We cannot thank you enough for your expertise and professionalism. ~ Tom & Elaine Mikulski
I called Lueanne Wood with Gulf Shores Realty in hopes that she could find us a short-term rental. As always she responded immediately and to our amazement, she found us the perfect rental at 801 Harbor Drive! We love Lueanne because she is the most knowledgeable and caring realtor. We are ecstatic to be spending some time in paradise during the month of March. Thanks, Lueanne! ~ Ruth Taylor
Thanks again for being our Guardian Angel and inviting us to stay at your beautiful mid-century home on Venice Island. Since we just met by phone the day my sister-in-law and I flew into town. We had reservations to stay at the Hampton Inn in Venice (not on the island) and it was terrible. No ambiance. Being distraught over our choice of hotels, you invited us to stay at one of your properties. While looking for the perfect home to purchase. I would have never expected such kindness from a stranger. Then going above and beyond, you referred us to a masseuse who came to the house and a nail spa also a facial, they were all fantastic. Looking forward to our continued relationship and finding our perfect home. With you being our Guardian Angel and sprinkling your fairy dust we have no doubt this will happen. ~ Diana & Joe Gunkel & Tammy Riley
We would like to take a moment to thank you for the GREAT service provided in selling our condo on Golden Beach Blvd. It was on the market for only 5 days and we got 97.5% of our asking price! You also provided top-notch service and follow through on everything that had to be done after the sale. We also appreciated the road trip gift certificates. What a wonderful and thoughtful gift! Please use us as a reference anytime. ~ Carol & John Booden
We want to thank you for your outstanding professionalism regarding the sale of our condo at the Harbour House. Not only did you have a buyer within hours after it was listed, but you were able to sell it for the full list price and a cash sale. We never thought that the sale would be completed so quickly. After the contract was signed your knowledge of the Venice area and your numerous contacts made the sale a pleasant experience for us.
You were able to address any concerns the buyers had and took care of everything. It was great to see a real professional in action. Once again, thank you for your hard work and efforts. It was a pleasure working with you. ~ Elaine & Tom
George and I want to offer our heartfelt thanks for a remarkably professional job in helping us find the perfect home for us here in Venice. Being new to town, we initially inquired about the best real estate agent and your name always came up. From start to finish you did an exceptional job for us. We were not only new to Florida, but very rusty as home buyers, since we had not purchased a home since 1981.
You carefully listened to our needs and based upon your 30 years of experience, efficiently educated us on the market and most importantly, the neighborhoods that were right for us. Thanks to your knowledge and skills, negotiations went very smoothly and you kept us well informed every step of the way. Your performance matched your positive reputation and exceeded our expectations.
What we were not expecting was your amazing team of professionals from your diligent assistant Wendy to top notch real estate attorneys, insurance professionals and bankers and especially your army of inspectors! What a fabulous team! Lueanne you take your profession seriously and are tenacious, detailed, honest and most importantly — customer-focused. ~ Linda Zeck
As we are just about to conclude our second transaction with you in as many months we would like to thank you for all you have done and make sure that future clients can benefit the way we have. In our opinion, you are a consummate professional and an outstanding advocate for your clients. The way you approach every step of the buying/selling process with clarity, consistency and patience. You handled the purchase of our new home as well as the listing and sale of our condo. We were fortunate to experience firsthand your handling of the sale and listing as well as your savvy negotiation skills in purchasing our new home. Your knowledge and expertise in the Venice market is unparalleled. On a personal level, you went out of your way to smooth even the smallest issues between us and sellers/ buyers and take pressure from us. From beginning to end we were in your capable hands. You are truly a one-woman show!!! please feel free to use/show this at your discretion so others can benefit from your knowledge and kindness the way we did. This is the very first time I felt the need to express my gratitude in a real estate transaction. We owe you a great thanks and appreciate having gotten to know you and consider you a dear friend. ~ Helga & Bernd
Thank you for a job well done! I may take you up on your offer in the future. My aunt has a very nice house on Gulf Street and when she is ready to sell I will certainly recommend you. I could also be in the market for a low-maintenance condo type of place in the future. Thanks again for the great work, and have a happy new year. ~ Brian Buffington
I contracted with Lueanne Wood of Gulf Shores Realty for the sale of my condo in the height of the Covid year of 2020. She was professional and capable in her handling of the showings and sale. She has been in the profession for many years, and brings with her great knowledge of all the peripheral professionals such as title companies, insurance companies, and mortgage companies. Her approach to the sale was radically different than the agents in Venice that I have used in the past. She spreads her “pixie dust” to get things done! ~ John, Venice, FL
Lueanne Wood with Gulf Shores Realty in Venice, Florida far exceeded our expectations as our listing realtor. This was not our first selling of a home, but was the first time we really felt the realtor knew her business, with her expertise and professional knowledge. We have health issues and she was so generous in seeing that we had nutritious meals and insisted we stay at her 801 Harbor Drive home. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly professional Realtor. Lueanne, thank you for all the hard work, dedication and time you spent selling our house. ~ William & Ruth Taylor, Venice, Florida
