Don't be afraid to call this Sarasota Buyer Agent

I manage our Sarasota and Siesta Key real estate websites. Because of the technology, I can see how many people come to my site, and what pages they log onto.  When they register, I know why people are hesitant to provide contact phone numbers - we are all quite tired of unsolicited, hard sell phone calls from everywhere. However, this fact comes as a surprise to my home buyer clients:

I don't call people who register on my sites.

Even if a phone number is provided (fair game?) I send out an introductory email and offer my help - and also assure buyers that they will not be called unless they request it. My goal is that people will feel free to research without feeling pressured, and contact me when they are ready.

I do, however, urge people to contact me. No matter what stage of the process you are in, you can benefit from professional insight! Time after time, when I do receive a phone call, people seem amazed at the wealth of information I can provide that will assist them to refine and narrow their search. Because we live in Sarasota /Siesta Key, people are often purchasing from out of state - vacation home, retirement home, second home. Most of the time they are familiar with Sarasota in general, but not each specific neighborhood, subdivision and surrounding amenities.

As a full time, exclusive buyer agent, I can give them far more information than a limited listing in the internet ever could. A simple conversation can relay those issues and criteria most important to the homebuyer, and allow me to do what I do - find those homes that not only fit general price ranges and aesthetic expectations - but that fit your lifestyle and requirements perfectly. After all, the most beautiful home is of no use to you if you hate the neighborhood! Even if you are not ready to buy, I'd love to hear from you. A research partner never hurt! 

And, to ease your fears, I still won't call you if you ask me not to. But I think you'll find that having a local partner here in Sarasota / Siesta Key can narrow your search, make it more relevant and find you a terrific place.
