Price Your Sarasota Florida Home To Sell Rather Than Sit Determining the asking price for your home is the first step in getting your home sold rather than having it sit on the market. Pricing your home to sell is influenced by many factors, some under your control and some not. Economic conditions, mortgage interest rates, consumer sentiment, and others are all factors that are out of the your control. However, property condition and price are. Understanding the principles by which the real estate market operates is also key to pricing your home to sell. Is It A Flat Market, Buyer's Market, Or Seller's Market? The real estate market is always changing. Sometimes it is a buyer's market and sometimes it is a seller's market. It is rarely a stable market for very long. Knowing where the m...

Sunset video - Indian Beach in Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores.  I am so very fortunate to live and sell real estate in one of the most enchanting neighborhoods in Florida, the Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores neighborhood in Sarasota, Florida. Yet, I often forget to take the time to stop and enjoy the sunsets. But not this time, in fact, my timing couldn't have been better. Rushing Past Paradise. How often do we find ourselves rushing past the very things that originally drew us to a neighborhood or community? It seems to happen to me all too often. As I focus on my real estate business, or when I get wrapped up in helping my buyers and sellers find what they want, or even when I'm doing the simplest of errands, I somehow forget the beauty of Sarasota and how I am surrounded by so many wo...

Excuse me? You live where? Where the Sun doesn't shine? So sorry, it's sunny here in Sarasota!   Every now and then I have the good fortune of speaking with Americans from across the nation and I almost feel bad when I ask them how the weather is, because undoubtedly, I know that no matter how bad my weather might possibly be, their weather is going to be much worse than mine. You see, I live in sunny Sarasota Florida. I was speaking to someone at tech support today from Activerain.com (she was gently helping me to see that the human error in my blog post was self inflicted), after she had resolved the technical problem on my latest blog post about condos in Sarasota, she suddenly just blurts out, "Your blog looks great! I want to buy a condo in Sarasota!" Well of course, I was caught a...

Warning flags are flown from the beach patrol shacks along the guarded sections of public beaches. Longboat beachgoers can check conditions at either of the Longboat Key Fire Stations before heading to the beach. Beachgoers should be familiar with the Beach Warning Flag system whether the beach is guarded or not. The Beach Warning Flag program uses five flags to indicated conditions beachgoers will find along the shores, from low hazard conditions (a green flag) to beach closed (double red flags) and includes a warning flag for the presence of dan...

Siesta Beach Sarasota Landmarks And Places Of Interest Siesta Beach is the "gateway to the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico". Facing West into the abyss of the Gulf, Siesta Beach is undeniably the Number 1 beach in the United States and maybe the best beach in entire world. It is one of the very best places in Florida to watch sunset and for catching the elusive green flash. Just sitting on the beach you can watch dolphins and manatees swim leisurely by. The island upon which Siesta Beach is located has gone by many names including Sarasota Key but is now called Siesta Key. Early access to the Key was by boat. After access by car opened the area up to developers, beach cottages, bathing pavilions, and a casino could be found on the island. Today, visitors from the mainland have ea...
