Sarasota City Living

Here at the center, the cultural and economic beat is strong, with a thriving business climate and a vibrant cultural scene.

Sarasota offers her residents an outstanding quality of life, which lead CNN/Money Magazine to name Sarasota as “America’s Best Small City” at one end of the spectrum and one of the country’s top 8 “Best Places for Young Retirees” on the other.

Living in downtown Sarasota offers you a lifestyle comparable to that of a vibrant metropolis. With 12 theaters, 30 art galleries, an Art Museum, opera, the symphony, ballet and world-class entertainment at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center you will never lack for something to do.

Exceptional dining, trendy wine bars as well as a down-home farmer’s market are yours to savor.

Explore bustling Main Street, with it’s outdoor cafes, antique stores, galleries and eclectic shops, or see the world through fresh eyes beneath the moss-draped oak trees at Towles Court, our flourishing artists’ colony.

Stroll along Palm Avenue, the hub of downtown Sarasota, day or night and discover where history and the present blend.

Your choice of residences is diverse.

  • You may find your ideal home among the soaring towers that ring the harbor and spend your evenings watching sunsets over lovely Sarasota Bay. Just steps away is Island Park, your destination for a leisurely Sunday afternoon of people-watching by the water.

  • Or you may prefer the elegant lifestyle of a luxury townhouse in the heart of downtown, within walking distance of all your favorite places.

  • Perhaps the charm of an “Old Florida” bungalow with original character and flair, it’s lush gardens mysterious, cool and green will make your heart beat faster.

  • Or you may fall in love with an exquisitely restored 1930’s traditional, where time stands still in Cherokee Park, with it’s wide, quiet streets and bay-front neighborhood.

Whatever lifestyle appeals to you, let me help you find the perfect home that meets your needs and fulfills your dreams.

I will guide you through the process, from house hunting to close to ensure that you have a smooth, enjoyable and rewarding Sarasota real estate experience.

Let me make it fun and easy for you to find your new home in Sarasota. You can contact me in total confidence. I guarantee your privacy will always be respected.

Real Estate Tips
Accepting An Offer >Clean Offers

You have found a house that makes your heart skip a beat--it is in the right location and has all the amenities you want. The price is the only thing that is keeping you from making an offer, because you feel that it is more than you can afford. How can you maximize the possibility that the owners will accept an offer that is much lower than their asking price?

The first thing you should do is to make the offer as "clean" as possible by not asking for special contingencies. Avoid making demands on the sellers for minor repairs, such as cutting down the dead tree in the back yard or leaving custom drapes. Be as flexible as possible about scheduling the move-in date to accommodate the seller's plans. Finally, you can offer a larger-than-usual deposit to persuade the sellers that you are a serious buyer and to make it harder for them to "just say no". Each situation is different, but the "cleaner" the offer, the more likely the sellers are to accept it.
