2018 off to a flying start for Sarasota real estate!
Our family celebrated the end of 2017 with a bit of R & R in the Florida keys. It was a little chilly for scuba diving but that didn’t stop us having fun! When January 2nd hit, buyers and sellers burst back onto the scene in full force marking the beginning of what is shaping up to be a very busy season. I am super excited to announce that the inimitable Pam Charron and I have joined forces for the launch of an exciting brand new development on St Armands. Find out more below...
