WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING


Selling my house, I was fortunate enough to find a team in Spitzer Rutland whose experience and knowledge shine from the first moment. I’ve heard that selling a house is often a tedious and stressful process. I kept expecting the stress to show up, but I quickly learned that Spitzer Rutland has a secret sauce. They genuinely work together and combine their efforts to always be several steps ahead.

I was delighted to find that the professionalism, teamwork and experience of the Spitzer Rutland team makes the entire process pleasant. You know you’re in the best of hands.

This is all accentuated by Matt Lanni’s beaming personality and ability to make every interaction a reason to be jovial. He has an uncanny ability to make your entire day better, but that’s the core spirit of Spitzer Rutland’s magic. They excel at calmly and confidently using their tremendous experience and combined talent to make your time with them a delight.

It’s an odd feeling wishing the experience of selling a home didn’t have to end and I cannot wait to get the pleasure of working with Matt Lanni and the Spitzer Rutland team again. Once you experience it for yourself you’ll feel the same way.

I was not yet looking for a realtor but Matt was referred to me by an Airbnb owner during a casual conversation. I decided to reach out to him and it turned out to be the smartest decision I made in buying a home!  Matt is soooo customer centric and absolutely goes the extra mile every step of the way. There were some unexpected issues with the sale and Matt was all over it. I never had to worry about the details. He took care of everything before I even asked.  He has a great understanding of the market and offered really good advice on where to look for what I wanted with the budget I had. I would use him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend him to anyone needing a realtor. He’s awesome.

Matt Lanni represented us as our real estate agent for a rental property. On the day before closing, they buyer decided to back out of the deal. Matt took charge, contacted the buyer and his realtor and salvaged the deal, closing as scheduled for the original agreed upon price. Matt's perseverance brought this deal to closing. He made it happen! Matt is patient and professional. I'll use him for all my real estate transactions.

Matt is fantastic to work with! He helped us through the entire process of selling the house. He was polite, available, friendly, and knowledgable and very responsive to any concerns or questions we had. He really cares about his clients as well as the community and neighborhood he lives in. His advice and support through closing was invaluable. We could not have done it without him. I'm pleased to say that we were on the market for three days and we had seven offers and it sold for over asking price. He made what could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as could be. Everything about this purchase was good. The timeliness, the professionalism, everything! We will definitely refer him to our friends. Thank you Matt!

Jason Spitzer is an excellent realtor. His extensive research pinpoints the best price and strategy for selling a home. Jason also has a good eye for the little improvements a seller can make to ensure a quick, profitable sale. Communication is a priority at this firm.

Matt and the team at Spitzer Rutland were a dream to work with. I was purchasing my first home and was feeling a little overwhelmed given the current state of the housing market. Matt provided honest and clear guidance throughout the whole process. I could always trust him to look out for my best interest. He was available practically 24/7, and always went above and beyond the call of duty. We finally found the right house and got a contract accepted despite multiple competing offers. I could not be more thrilled!

We used Matt for the purchase of our apartment, and he is awesome, he took the time to go thru the condo association paperwork, look for any potential problems, etc... Good people to work with!

I HIGHLY recommend this realty team! I was recently challenged with the experience of simultaneously selling a house in Georgia and buying a house in Florida. While my realtor in Georgia was frustrating to work with, Matt Lanni operated above and beyond the call of duty on a daily basis as my realtor on the Florida end. He was consistently prompt, professional, responsive, and personable. Having lived his entire life in this area, he was extremely knowledgeable regarding different locations which was incredibly helpful to me since I was brand new to this city. I found him to always be prepared, honest and upfront, hard-working, patient, and warm. I never felt pressured in any way and he was truly dedicated to finding the right home for me. This entire team is a well-oiled machine, yet they still make the extra effort to make clients feel as though they are always their top priority. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Thank you for starting my retirement in Florida off on the right foot, Spitzer Rutland!

We couldn’t be happier with our new business location thanks to Matt & Jason! We were in a time crunch to relocate & they were more than helpful, patient and willing to assist the whole way. Such a pleasant experience! My husband and I highly recommend them.

Jason was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our entire home buying experience. He helped us narrow down our search to what we were really looking for, and ended up finding us something that was even better than we could have imagined. Jason was diligent in his search for our home, prompt at notifying us of any new listings, and acted as a true professional throughout the entire home search process. Once we found our perfect home, Jason remained by our side to ensure that both sides had everything in place to have a successful, and timely closing. One thing I took comfort in was that Jason has a law degree, while dealing with all the unfamiliar paperwork, and contracts that go along with purchasing a home. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking to sell, or buy a new home.

I was introduced to Jason through a friend of a friend and am so glad we connected. Jason is a professional through and through and is willing to do what it takes to take care of the individual needs of his clients. We were relocating from out of state and came in with limited time to visit homes.... one weekend actually. Not only did Jason help us find the PERFECT home, he was our "on the ground guy" who was able to attend every repair and inspection while ensuring things were done RIGHT! We’re so pleased with the excellent work Jason Spitzer did and would recommend him to anyone without reservation.

— MICHAEL C.


“On June 28th, 2021 I closed on my first home. After looking for many months and touring over a hundred houses, I finally found the perfect home for me...and it is all thanks to my realtor. Matt spent countless hours house hunting with me and learning my likes and dislikes to make suggestions that not only fit my style but also my budget. He even toured homes on my behalf and sent me pictures when I was unable to make it. It is safe to say he did the most to make sure I was happy and would end up in the perfect home. He helped me to always maintain a positive attitude and a smile never left his face while dealing with a crazy market. I am so thankful that I found Matt and will be using him in the future.”

We used Jason Spitzer to sell our home in Saint Petersburg and he was outstanding. It was a pleasure to work with Jason; he never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly. We can't thank him enough for all the hard work, dedication and the time he spent in selling our home of 30yrs. Jason made it very easy for us to sell our home by taking us step by step. He did all the work for us, and we appreciate it very much. We will most definitely recommend Jason Spritzer to anyone we know who is selling or wanting to purchase a home. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a house was apparent and we were thankful. He's a true professional and a genuinely considerate guy. He’s an expert in his field and we were fortunate to have had him as a Realtor. Thank you Jason.

Jason was a pleasure to work with. Handled everything, remained calm, and wrapped it up flawlessly. Multi-generation St. Pete family was a huge plus! He knows the Burg!

“When I accepted a new job out of state, I had only a short time to get my condo on the market and sold. Complicating matters was that the COVID-19 outbreak was at its peak in Florida. Of course, I had many questions and concerns about the market conditions and the logistics of selling during a pandemic. Fortunately, I reached out to Matt Lanni at Spitzer Rutland. Throughout the process Matt went above and beyond in getting my condo ready, marketed, and sold, all while ensuring that necessary precautions were taken to keep everyone safe. Thanks to his efforts, my condo received multiple offers and was under contract in just two days!”

— NATHANIEL K.


Jason was amazing at accomplishing the impossible by finding a home in my price range that had ALL of my "must haves". He was very knowledgeable about each property we saw and he has an excellent feel/knowledge of the market. What impressed me the most was his dedication to finding a home with value. I was concerned about over paying for a home, and he was always vocal about how and WHY homes were priced the way they were....which was extremely appreciated. I found Jason to be an excellent communicator, trust worthy, detail oriented, and knowledgeable about his field. I highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs.

— KRISTEN R.


I want to thank Jason for his professional assistance with my recent home buying transaction. He was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns, and I probably had more than most as this was my first time buying a house. If he didn't immediately know an answer to my question, he quickly found it using his impressive local connections. He has a keen eye for the local market. He also has a vast knowledge of the area as a result of being born and raised right here in St. Petersburg. I still reach out to Jason to get the pulse of what is happening around town and with the real estate market. I would highly recommend Jason if you want an advocate looking out for your best interests.

What a great experience we had with the purchase of our son’s first home. Matt Lanni was very professional, accommodating and patient during the many showings. He answered all our questions and would promptly return our texts and phone calls.

We never felt pressured or rushed, even during this real estate peak we still got a great deal!

We would highly recommend Matt. "

"Jason, big time kudos to you. Great job with the tenant negotiations and retention. Despite the difficulties of 2020 we are on a ROLL."
