What is Craft Real Estate?

Craft Real Estate is Real Estate creating better results!

When you work with Settles Real Estate, you work with an agent who has years of experience and literally sold hundreds or thousands of homes. You receive their special attention. You deal directly with them, not their assistant or closing coordinator or another fancy title for a person that doesn’t really know the features of homes. This is especially important whether you are a seller or buyer. The individualized attention you receive earns you thousands of dollars more as a seller or saves you thousands as a buyer.

As a homeowner, buying or selling your home can be stressful but we will make the whole experience much more enjoyable by personalizing service for you and avoiding the many pitfalls that can arise during a real estate transaction.

If you are an investor, we will learn your objectives and help you achieve them. We identify good tenants and assist you in maintaining your property investment.

Give us a call and let us provide focused service to help you achieve your real estate goals and experience what we call “Craft Real Estate.”

Buck Settles

Broker / Owner

I was born into Real Estate in Hagerstown, Maryland where my dad sold Real Estate and Insurance all of his life. We spent summers in Venice, FL and I actually attended 2nd and 3rd grade in Venice. Our Family relocated permanently to Englewood, Florida in 1989 when I obtained my Real Estate license and started selling Real Estate in the Venice Area. I have been in the Real Estate business full time ever since. I obtained my Real Estate Brokers license in 1991 and earned the Presidential Elite Status with Coldwell Banker, became a member of the Re/Max Hall of Fame and opened up Settles Real Estate in 2012. Settles Real Estate is a Full-Service Real Estate company handling Residential/Commercial Sales and Property Management.

Cherie Ann DeHay

Moving from N. Easton, MA to North Port, FL in 1985 was not easy for me, but living in this tropical climate/paradise helped me to adjust quickly! I graduated from Venice High School in 1988 then went on to fulfill a lifelong dream and became the Owner/Artistic Director of Cherie’s Dance Studio, teaching all types of dance to all age groups. I then joined my mother, Lucille Mitton, as her assistant in real estate in 1997 and by 1999, we were partners as a Mother/Daughter real estate team. She has since retired as I continue to grow & learn in this awesome industry, receiving my Broker’s license in 2020.

Customer reviews

As an out of state buyer, I am sincerely grateful Buck Settles was highly recommended to me by a respected and well-known member of the local community. Buck, an expert real estate professional, is impeccably honest and infinitely patient. I deeply appreciate Buck's candid observations about the many homes we visited and the insightful assistance he provided to me, both before and after the sale. Thanks to Buck's expertise and guidance, I now own a Florida home I love!

Melody

Dear Buck: Thank you is simply not enough. At a time that was filled with tragedy, sadness and uncertainty you were there for us. Michael, Kim and I will be eternally grateful for all that you have done to sell our parents home, a home which you sold to them 20+ years ago. A home they truly loved. A home they were very proud of. A home they refused to leave, even in uncertain times. As I have said before, my dad had extremely high standards and never gave out accolades easily or to those unworthy. However, he always spoke highly of you. When we cleaned out his study, we found a stack of Buck Settles Reality calendars and day planners from over the years. If you sent him something, he saved it. As I was looking around the study and came across them, I knew there was only one person...

Tracey

In 2022 my wife and I decided to sell the 3 Florida lots we owned in Florida and received "weekly" solicitations to buy, or list, these properties. I kept a file on all the mailed offerings to list these properties, and a couple seemed to jump out above the others, so I contacted both, and Cherie DeHay's presentation by far, caught my attention. Her follow up and recommendations to price and market were spot on. To make this a challenge for Cherie, I own a small real estate agency in Northwest Washington state, over 3000 miles away, so I was possibly more demanding than most of her clients. Cherie rose to the occasion and was able to list, represent all 3 properties for us and most importantly, all 3 properties sold with the help of Cherie's advice. Her response was always quick, professional and friendly during the listing, the marketing and ultimately the selling process. Without hesitation, I would recommend Cherie DeHay to a seller or a buyer.

Jim Carroll

Real Estate agent Cherie Ann DeHay did a great job in assisting us with the sale of our home. Cherie was professional, friendly and responsive in addressing all of our inquiries. Cherie's attention to detail made for an overall smooth transaction.

I have worked with Cherie for the past two years looking for a place in the Englewood and Venice area. She has not given up and has helped me to keep looking. She has been nothing but professional in all aspects of my journey! I finally found a place with her help and am so happy with my purchase. She has also worked with my family and family friends over the past 20 plus years. Everyone has loved working with Cherie, she is awesome!
