I believe creating a strong partnership with my client is one of the keys to a successful outcome. The real estate market is highly competitive, and I value every relationship that I’ve made over the past 43 years. I recently represented the sale of a beautiful, waterfront residence on Bird Key. While it was the second highest priced residence ever sold on Bird Key, and because of that received a lot of press coverage, the real interesting aspect to me was who my client was — Julie McGue, an award winning author of the book “Twice a Daughter.” Her memoir about searching for her birth family was an important book and yes, the sale was a success for her and me, but record breaking sales are short lived in Sarasota these days. The relationship I forged with her and her late husband, is the real value. You can read the Sarasota Magazine article here. I want my clients to know that I have their best interest in mind.
People don’t come here to buy real estate – they come here to buy a lifestyle. I will provide you expert knowledge and counsel, keeping your desires and expectations front and center. From a private beachfront retreat, to a condominium in the heart of the city, the options are endless. If you’d like to explore the real estate market, neighborhoods and options, please give me a call.
