May – 2020
May Prospective
May Market Sense
All – As we close out the first week in May, I hope this communication finds you all safe and healthy. Given the current global circumstances, I can confidently say the real estate market, specific to Sarasota, remains steady with a slight upward trend. MLS is reporting for Sarasota/Manatee counties, 354 Active Listings, 411 Pending Listings and 406 Sold Listings. That’s up 95 Actives, 29 Pendings and 153 Solds from one week prior.
Regarding my own book of business, I have seen an uptick in showing requests as well as buyers interested in purchasing properties in many areas of Sarasota. In person as well as virtual showings are two options available if you are interested in seeing a particular residence. That said, several of my listings now have an added layer of functionality in the form of a Matterport 3-D virtual tour. This particular technology allows the user to essentially be “in” the residence without actually being on site. A big thanks to the www.hoverbureau.com for producing the tours for us. You can access the Matterports by going to my website, choose a specific property and then click the virtual tour icon.
Lastly, please take a moment to listen to the following weekly address from Michael and Drayton.

March Update
On A Personal Note
On a monthly basis, you will find below my thoughts, suggestions & strategies…
A “personal note” if you will, covering various topics that fall under the real estate umbrella. Some of the subject matter will pertain specially to the Sarasota market, while other times I may provide my thoughts around a more broader real estate theme. Lastly, if I had had the pleasure of meeting you, you know that I also hold dear the notion of a strong “work/life balance”. I hope to use this platform to share some tried and true methods that have served me well throughout my career and personal life. Enjoy!
SRQ
I’ve been proud to call Sarasota my home for 35 years. I raised my two children, started my residential real estate career and have made lifelong friends, many of whom I had pleasure to initially meet as clients all while ‘under the palms’ of our beautiful city.
Check out my “Why Sarasota” section to explore all that Sarasota has to offer… arts and culture, golf and sailing, beaches and barrier islands, as well as the many and varied neighborhoods that make up our fantastic and GROWING city on the Gulf.
Real Estate & Homes for Sale
Above we discussed, Sarasota and why? Similarly, let’s discuss the Sarasota Market. First, Sarasota… Highlighting real estate property, homes and condos for sale.
Second, Downtown & Mainland Sarasota, Siesta Key, West of Trail (Tamiami Trail) and Longboat Key. Third, Lakewood Ranch. Most importantly, why choose somewhere else, choose Sarasota, Florida. In conclusion, preview my exclusive listings and Sarasota Properties.
