sarasota: Southwest Florida is Weathering the Storm!
- 07/09/10 02:20 PM
I took this picture of Lido Beach sunset on Wednesday, June 7...plenty of people out...and nice clean water and sand!!! Sarasota's, and all of Southwest Florida's, beaches continue to remain clear of oil and tar balls. As we watch the Deepwater Horizon well spew its disastrous mess across the Gulf of Mexico; our pristine sands, estuaries, sounds, and wildlife go unaffected. Our luck is bittersweet, as we know the unprecedented damage that is being done to the fragile ecosystems in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Sarasota Real Estate continues with a steady rate of sales, as our inventory drops. This is … (3 comments)
sarasota: Sarasota Is BEST BUY in the Western World!
- 06/28/10 06:42 AM
According to a recent article in the International Property Journal, the wonderful coastal community of Sarasota, Florida is the best buy for vacation and second-home real estate in the entire western world. In consideration of this new ranking, we expect to see an influx of European buyers in our area. As this occurs, we will see a continued decline in inventory and sales prices will likely increase over the next two years. Even in consideration of the oil spill threat, it is well-known through all of the various computer models, that Sarasota, Florida is one of the least likely areas of … (1 comments)
sarasota: Gulf Oil Spill - Setting the Record Straight.
- 06/26/10 09:57 AM
I decided to write this blog post in an effort to provide its readers with some solid, "boots-on-the-ground", information concerning where oil is, and is not, in the Gulf states. I will begin by telling everyone that it is unequivocally NOT IN SARASOTA or Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, or anywhere else in Central or Southwest Florida. The national news media simply states that there is oil in "Florida". This is a generic term...we are a reasonably large state and I feel that it is irresponsible reporting that continues to hurt the great people of our state. I wish that I … (0 comments)
sarasota: Sarasota Home Sales Up – Inventory Down! Read it…but don’t weep!
- 06/15/10 08:16 AM
Sarasota property sales hit their highest levels since 2005! May sales were at 766, the highest number of sales for the year. This number represents a 51.3% increase over May of 2009 and was the highest number of sales in any month since December of 2005.

sarasota: Remembering Memorial Day
- 05/29/10 08:36 AM
First and foremost, I wish everyone a very safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! I would also like to just say thank you so much to all of those who have sacrificed so much for our independence and freedom as a nation. In our ever-changing and increasingly globally dependent political environment, we still find ourselves as the most powerful and great nation the world has ever seen. This position was not accomplished through appeasement, but through the hard work, ingenuity, and sacrifices of the American people and our great Soldiers, Marines, Seaman, and Airman. Right now, as I write this blog post, there … (1 comments)

sarasota: 10 Reasons NOT to pay for a Foreclosure List
- 01/26/10 02:44 AM
Here's the deal my friends...many, many companies out there are selling foreclosure lists to the unsuspecting consumer. Unfortunately there are even more consumers falling for these lists.

ONE - COST. What we, as qualified Realtors, are offering you is FREE! However, if you need more convincing beyond that - read on. TWO - TIME! How much time do you have? I hope you have a … (2 comments)
sarasota: A Sarasota Restaurant You Should REALLY Try!
- 01/25/10 12:20 PM
Ok, so my partner (and love of my life) Brandy Coffey and I finally found some time to have a legitimate sit-down lunch today. I decided that we should try Libby's Cafe in the quaint Southside Village. We have always heard great things about this particular establishment, but for one reason or another - we just never made it over there. I remembered that I had bought a client a gift card there recently and had been given a $20 gift card for myself, for free, by the manager. Having the gift card in my wallet, it only made sense to go … (1 comments)
