A New Side of Sarasota You May Not Have Seen

When most people think of Sarasota, their minds immediately go to the barrier islands, waterfront estates, and our world-famous beaches. And while those places will always hold a special place in our hearts, there’s another side of Sarasota that continues to capture the attention of buyers from around the country.

Recently, we spent some time exploring Wild Blue at Waterside, one of the newest luxury communities within Lakewood Ranch. With Kelly Rosenberg leading the way, we quickly understood why so many people are talking about it.

Set among expansive lakes and natural beauty, Wild Blue offers a different kind of Sarasota lifestyle, one centered around space, modern design, and a connection to the outdoors, all while remaining remarkably close to downtown Sarasota, shopping, dining, entertainment, and the area's beautiful Gulf Coast beaches.

One of the first things that stands out is the scale. The homesites are exceptionally wide, the views stretch across sparkling lakes, and many of the homes are thoughtfully designed to maximize indoor-outdoor living. It creates a sense of openness that's increasingly difficult to find.

What also makes Wild Blue unique is the opportunity to build with some of the region’s most respected luxury builders. The community showcases an impressive collection of model homes that have become a destination in their own right. In fact, many visitors come simply for design inspiration and leave imagining themselves living there.

For buyers seeking the convenience of new construction, modern floor plans, resort-inspired amenities, and Sarasota County living, Wild Blue presents an exciting opportunity to explore.

If you'd like to learn more about Wild Blue, Lakewood Ranch, or other new construction opportunities throughout Sarasota and the surrounding areas, Kelly and our team would be delighted to share what we're seeing throughout the market.

Warm regards,

Don’t Believe Everything You Hear

The Headlines Say One Thing. The Market Says Another.

There’s been a lot of noise lately about the real estate market.

Headlines suggesting homes are sitting. Stories about slowdown. Questions about whether luxury buyers have disappeared.

But here’s what we’re actually seeing on the ground across Sarasota and Manatee’s luxury market:

Movement.

We’re now through the first quarter of the year, and our team alone has already surpassed $95 million in sales. More importantly, many of our recent luxury sales have generated multiple offers, with several selling at or above asking price.

Why?

Because today’s market rewards one thing above all else: proper pricing and presentation.

The days of aspirational pricing are largely behind us. Buyers today are incredibly informed, and when a property is positioned correctly, they react quickly. In fact, we’re seeing something happen repeatedly: as soon as buyers recognize real value, a sense of urgency follows.

And urgency changes everything.

Over the last 60 days alone, Sarasota County recorded 71 sales above $3 million, while Manatee County recorded another 29 luxury sales above that mark. For a market of our size, those numbers tell an important story:

The luxury market is not stagnant.

Well-positioned properties are still attracting significant attention, qualified buyers, and strong offers.

More than ever, strategy matters. Pricing matters. Marketing matters. Timing matters.

And that’s where experience makes all the difference.

If you’ve been wondering what your property may be worth in today’s market, or simply want an honest conversation about current conditions, we’re always happy to help.

Warm regards,
Roger Pettingell, Thomas Arbuckle & Pettingell Professionals

Entering a Remarkable New Era

There’s something incredibly exciting going on in Sarasota right now.

For years, people spoke about the future of downtown Sarasota and Golden Gate Point. Beautiful renderings. Ambitious visions. Conversations about what was coming next.

And now… it’s actually happening.

We were recently at The Owen on Golden Gate Point as homeowners arrived for their inspections. Seeing buyers finally step into residences they purchased years ago during pre-construction is a reminder of just how dramatically Sarasota’s luxury landscape is evolving.

Envisioned by the highly respected Ronto Group, this is one of several extraordinary new developments helping redefine waterfront living in Sarasota. And what’s especially exciting is that this is only the beginning.

What makes this moment so unique is that no two developments are truly alike. Each one offers something completely different. Different architecture. Different views. Different lifestyles. Different amenities. Some are intimate and private. Others are full-service resort-style experiences. Some are ideal for seasonal living, while others are designed to become legacy properties for generations to come.

And the truth is, navigating all of these opportunities can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s precisely why Thomas has become such an incredible resource for our customers. Over the years, he has immersed himself in the downtown Sarasota and Golden Gate Point market, studying the nuances of each development, floor plans, pricing structures, builders, locations, timelines, and the long-term differences between them.

Whether you’re simply curious about what’s coming, considering a future move, or actively exploring the possibility of purchasing new construction, we would genuinely love the opportunity to help you better understand the landscape and determine which development may best fit your lifestyle and goals.

Because right now, Sarasota is entering a very special chapter. And there has perhaps never been a more exciting time to explore what downtown living here can truly become.

Warm regards,
Roger Pettingell & Pettingell Professionals

Have you ever received an award?

It’s a strange thing. When it becomes official, it feels almost abstract. A title, a number, something people say that gets repeated and written down. Life continues as it always does. The world keeps moving. It doesn’t quite settle in.

It’s only later, usually when you’re in a room hearing people you respect speak, that it begins to feel real. Not because of the recognition itself, but because it makes you reflect. It takes you back through the years, through the decisions, the challenges, the small wins no one sees, and most of all, the people who were there through it all.

This year, we were named the number one duo in the nation for Coldwell Banker Realty for the second time. It is an incredible honor, and one we are deeply grateful for. But the truth is, what it represents to us cannot be measured in rankings.

It represents a team in the truest sense of the word. Not just a collection of individuals, not simply people working alongside each other, but a unit that moves with purpose, fiercely. The kind of team where every person understands the value of their role, where every detail matters, and where there is a shared commitment to something greater than any one individual. Over time, that kind of alignment becomes something you can feel. A single, unified force, fully committed to crossing the finish line together. It becomes a standard, a responsibility, and in many ways, a family.

Moments like this do not make us look forward as much as they make us look around.

We are grateful in a way that is difficult to put into words.

We hope to continue earning your trust for many years to come, and to share many more moments like this together.

With sincere appreciation,

Oh My Goodness… Do You See This View?

Honestly, videos and photos barely do this property justice.

Set along the deep-water shores of Bird Key, 667 Mourning Dove Drive captures some of the most spectacular panoramic bay views we’ve seen in quite some time. From nearly every room, Sarasota Bay stretches endlessly before you, with views reaching all the way toward the Gulf beyond.

And the water here is simply unbelievable. It almost doesn’t look real.

Oh my goodness… do you see this view?

From the terraces, the primary suite, and the living spaces, there’s this endless expanse of turquoise bay reflecting sunlight throughout the day, with boats quietly passing in the distance. It’s the sort of setting that subtly changes the entire feeling of a home.

Originally designed by renowned architect Cliff Scholz and built by Murray Homes, this extraordinary bayfront estate offers nearly 6,600 square feet of elevated waterfront living, pairing something that is becoming extraordinarily difficult to replicate today: true deep-water boating, expansive bay views, substantial architecture, and a sense of permanence.

Inside, the scale, craftsmanship, and recent improvements make the residence feel both grand and welcoming. Everything about the property feels significant, timeless, and incredibly well maintained.

Nothing feels trendy. Nothing feels forced.

Discover 👉 667MourningDove.com

And for boating enthusiasts… this may very well be the only house to look at.

New metal roof. Rebuilt dock. Newer seawall and lift. Deep-water access stretching out toward Big Pass, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf.

Quite simply, it’s the kind of property people wait years for on Bird Key.

We’re ready when you are. Just give us a call and let’s arrange your private showing.

Warm regards,

From first step to legacy property…

We recently spent some time exploring four very different properties, all within Sarasota’s most sought-after coastal areas. What stood out wasn’t just how different they are… but how differently life could feel in each one.

We began on Bird Key, with something full of potential. A garden home where the value isn’t just what’s there today, but what it could become—a home that opens the door, and a way into a neighborhood people wait years to be part of.

A few streets over, the tone shifts. Now you’re on the water—right there with it. A canal-front home where the boat is in the backyard, ceilings rise, finishes elevate, and the lifestyle starts to feel more effortless… the kind of everyday rhythm people picture when they think of Florida.

Check 👉 476meadowlark.com

Then, almost without warning, you arrive somewhere entirely different. The beach. An elevated way of living, where a Gulf-front estate on Longboat Key brings together space, privacy, and design in a way that feels almost cinematic—nearly an acre on the sand, with sunsets that don’t just complement the home… they define it.

Explore 👉 6001gulfofmexico.com

And then there’s the final stop. No house. No finishes. No furniture—just water, horizon, and possibility. A blank canvas where the value lies in the opportunity to create something entirely your own, in a location that simply cannot be replicated.

Discover 👉 1199westwaydrive.com

That’s when it all clicked. Sarasota isn’t just a market with different price points—it’s a market with different chapters… and endless possibilities.

Everyone is standing at a different place in that story. And each of these represents a completely valid answer to the same question: what kind of life do I want to build here?

If you’re curious where you might fit into it—or what the next chapter could look like—we’d love to explore it with you.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,

Look at this view…

No really… take a second and imagine it.

Because that’s exactly where this one begins. Not with square footage, not with finishes… but with the Gulf, wide open in front of you, and sunsets that don’t ask for your attention… they take it.

I was just there, standing on the terrace, and I caught myself doing what everyone does in a place like this… pausing. You don’t rush through a residence like this. You take it in.

We’re on the south end of Longboat Key, tucked behind the gates of the Longboat Key Club, in a building called The Beaches. And if you know the island, you know that means something. It’s quieter here. More private. And the shoreline… always one of the best, one of the healthiest.

And then, inside… three full bedrooms. A layout that actually makes sense. Light coming in from every direction. And a feeling that everything has already been done for you… finished, furnished, ready to walk in and start living without needing to change a thing.

That’s rare.

Most places ask you to imagine what they could be. This one already knows.

And maybe that’s the point.

If you’ve been waiting for something on the Gulf that doesn’t feel like a project… something that just feels right the moment you walk in… this may be the one you don’t want to miss.

Warm regards,

If you’re out this Sunday…

Have you ever heard of Laurel Oak? If you’re an avid golfer, there’s a good chance you already know it well.

Tucked behind the gates, it’s one of Sarasota’s most established country club communities—known for its mature landscape, estate-sized homes, and two championship golf courses.

And there’s something interesting happening there right now.

Not just one home… but a collection of very different opportunities, all within the same community. What’s fascinating is how each one offers its own version of what life here can look like.

Because in a place like Laurel Oak, it’s not about finding a home. It’s about finding the one that fits the way you want to live.

We’re currently representing four distinct properties:

• 3295 Alex Findlay Pl 👉 3295alexfindlay.com
Hot off the press. A light-filled courtyard design with exceptional privacy, offering a flexible layout that feels both relaxed and inviting.
• 7809 Allen Robertson Pl 👉 7809allenrobertson.com
Also new to the market. Lake and golf course views, a comfortable footprint, and the added appeal of maintenance-free living with lawn care included.
• 3271 Alex Findlay Pl 👉 3271alexfindlay.com
Getting great traction online. A popular Lee Wetherington layout with over 3,300 sq ft, lake views, and a bright, easy flow.
• 8250 Hugh Alison Pl 👉 8250hughalisonplace.com
One of the most impressive offerings in Laurel Oak. Over 5,000 sq ft with timeless character, expansive fairway views, and some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll find in the community.

Each one tells a different story. And each one speaks to a different lifestyle.

Explore Video Brochure 👉 flipbooks.pettingell.com/the-pettingell-collection-laurel-oak-edit

This Sunday, we’re opening one of them for you to experience firsthand:
​
📍 7809 Allen Robertson Pl
📅 Sunday, April 26
⏰ 1:00–3:00 PM

If Sunday doesn’t work for you, we’re happy to arrange a private showing for any of the homes at a time that’s convenient.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead,
Roger Pettingell, Kelly Rosenberg & Pettingell Professionals

Started Without You… 🍸

We began our day at the The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay Presentation Gallery—and if you haven’t stepped inside yet, you may want to soon.

There’s a quiet momentum building there. Sales are moving. Records are being set. And by the end of the year, an entirely new chapter of downtown living will be taking shape along the bay.

It’s not just about the residences themselves—though the design, the views, and the level of finish are exactly what you would expect. It’s about what’s forming around them.

Because just steps away, we found ourselves at Ocean Prime… where, admittedly, we may have started without you.

Cocktails were already on the table. The energy was right. And somewhere between the first course and dessert (the carrot cake may have stolen the show), it became clear—this is exactly what people have been waiting for.

A nationally acclaimed dining experience, now woven into Sarasota’s waterfront. Elevated, polished, and effortless… the kind of place that doesn’t just complement a lifestyle, it defines it.

Discover 👉 ocean-prime.com/locations-menus/sarasota

And that’s really the story here.

What’s coming is exciting.
What’s already here is exceptional.
And together, it’s transforming the Quay into something entirely different.

We’re continuing to explore it all in our Inside Downtown Sarasota’s Best Places series—and this one felt worth sharing.

Check it out 👉 www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlFINlzQMLeT3bptyX7kU1CvNXlSYz0hC

If you’re curious what’s next (or what’s already worth experiencing), we’d love to show you.

When people first arrive in Sarasota, there’s often one question they don’t even realize they’re asking… “Why do these properties vary so much in value?”

At first glance, it might seem like a matter of size, finishes, or location. But the truth is a little more nuanced. Here, value is hyper-local and, more importantly, deeply personal. In Sarasota, it all comes down to lifestyle.

We recently explored four very different properties, each offering its own version of what life here can look like.

One places you right in the heart of downtown, where mornings start with a walk along the bay and evenings unfold just steps from the city’s best dining and culture.

Another offers something a bit different. A sense of privacy and space, tucked into the charm of Burns Court, where you can enjoy the feel of a home without the responsibilities that come with it.

Then there’s the waterfront experience, where space opens up, views stretch endlessly across the bay, and boating becomes part of your everyday rhythm.

And finally, a level of living that’s truly elevated. Design, service, and brand come together to create something that feels effortless, refined, and unmistakably exceptional.

What’s interesting is this: none of these are “better” than the others. They’re simply different answers to the same question… how do you want to live?

One Watergate 10E 👉 onewatergate10e.com
Burns Court 👉 1513oakstreet.com
La Bellasara 304 👉 labellasara304.com
Ritz-Carlton Residences 805 👉 ritzresidences805.com

And that’s where the real conversation begins.

If you’ve been thinking about Sarasota, or even just curious about what might be possible, we’d love to share more and help you explore what fits you best.

Wishing you a fantastic weekend ahead,
