Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"Jon Fox has been our trusted realtor for over 18 years! He is a consummate professional, leading real estate expert and all around phenomenal man. We can’t recommend him highly enough! " - Neil & Shannon

★★★★★
"Jonathan Fox is a gem. Jon’s advocacy, communications, and negotiating skills are impressive, as is his deep knowledge of the real estate market in Sarasota and the surrounding region. We could not have managed our successful house purchase, which was made much more challenging because of the COVID pandemic, without Jon’s guiding hand and deft support. He was our necessary “eyes and ears” on the ground because we did not travel from our home in Massachusetts to the Sarasota area until after we had completed the purchase. Such risk-taking was rather uncharacteristic of us, but we had confidence in Jon’s ability to represent us effectively and transparently…which he did! Jon’s commitment to us has continued long after we closed on our house. We continue to benefit by his valuable advice and assistance, generated by his decades of work as one of Sarasota’s most successful real estate brokers and by his deep civic engagement as a resident of the city. Jon’s relationships are vast, in part because he is personable, warm, and has a great sense of humor. Because of Jon’s efforts on our behalf, not only have we purchased a wonderful home in Sarasota, but we have made a delightful new friend as well. We raise a glass to you, Jon! " - Linda W.

★★★★★
" We have to say that everything that Jon's client Linda said is spot on! The confidence that Jon and Susan demonstrate along with their personal skills, honesty and sense of humor make them wonderful to work with. They have been very helpful through the years and are fun to work with. We highly recommend them for your real estate needs!" - Sara & Chris Connor.

★★★★★
"My experience with Jonathan was so great that I don't want it to be over! I have dealt with countless brokers over the years (I have moved more times than I would like to count) and I have never come across one as kind, genuine and transparent as Jonathan. We should all be so lucky as to have a "Jonathan" in our hometown. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. " - Lisa Cole

★★★★★
"Jon Fox was honestly by far the best agent we've ever worked with. Jon is funny, fun to be with, infinitely patient, extremely knowledgeable about the area, considerate, thoughtful, and exceptionally organized. He worked with us for over three years as we refined our thinking from a high rise to a single family home on a third of an acre lot in a gated community. He has a tremendous awareness of various neighborhoods, and was very candid. He always made us conscious of the areas surrounding the individual properties we were viewing. He guided us through the minutia of closing. It was a very smooth transaction from start to finish." - Margo W. & Rob M.

★★★★★
"Jon Fox did it all for us. He was so very helpful at all stages of the sale of our property. He was easy to communicate with and gave outstanding advice. He has our highest recommendation. " - David Colson

About Jonathan

After 25+ years as a Realtor and over 40 years living in Florida’s Gulf Coast, Jonathan Fox offers a lifetime of knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit, and exceptional customer service for his clients. He represents buyers, sellers, and investors in residential real estate in the greater Sarasota area, with a focus on luxury homes and condominiums in Bird Key, Longboat Key, St. Armands Circle, Southside Village, Oyster Bay, and Downtown Sarasota.

With three decades of experience in owning, developing, and managing several local businesses — including companies in commercial Longboat Key development, global ocean freight, and international trading — Jonathan is a self-motivated and proven leader with a demonstrated passion to build success from the ground up. As a longtime resident-professional of Sarasota and active realtor since before many local neighborhoods were even developed, he offers deep knowledge of the market, neighborhoods, and communities in the area, providing clients with a seamless and stress-free resource as they navigate one of the biggest financial decisions a person can make. Together with his wife, Susan, and daughter, Meghan, they form the Fox Leiter Team, a family of well-connected agents with an ethos centered on integrity, compassion, and hard work.

Matched with the support of the robust Compass technology and service offering, including state-of-the-art data and analytics software, renovations and staging programs, and a centralized messaging portal, Jonathan can streamline communication and multitask more efficiently, freeing up time and energy to give back to clients. He also utilizes Compass’s contemporary marketing tools and materials to generate more awareness, more accurate price points, and faster transactions than ever before.

In a market replete with vibrant restaurants, shops, and a wide range of outdoor activities, Jonathan enjoys sharing his local expertise and educating clients on Sarasota’s dynamic way of life. He is active in the community through volunteering and counseling cancer patients. In his free time, he loves golfing, sailing, and going for long walks. A family-man, he's proud of his children: Nicholas, a writer based in L.A.; Alexandra, an Emmy-nominated comedy writer; Andrew, a project manager in sustainable development in New York; and of course, Meghan and Susan, who work alongside him to bring joy to all the clients they have the pleasure of working with.
