SARASOTA AND BRADENTON HOMES SALES UP 43%!!!

I am so excited to report that the Sarasota and Bradenton real estate market sales are up 43% while the rest of the country saw a 17% decline in sales. This is wonderful news for our market area. Sarasota and Bradenton have so much to offer buyers being in a coastal community so rich in culture. I feel incredibly fortunate to have lived in such a beautiful community for so long. In addition to residing in paradise, I actually get to sell homes in Southwest Florida! I am passionate about selling in this area, because I am confident that when my clients relocate to this sought after area, they will enjoy their new lifestyle just as much as I do.
