Listing a home is so much more than putting a sign in the yard! 🏡

There’s a lot of detail, diligence, preparation and behind-the-scenes work that goes into getting a property ready for the market.

Luckily, today I had the seller’s dog as my assistant. 🐾 

Coming soon: a great pool home with lots of potential. Stay tuned!

When I first got my real estate license, I didn’t have everything mapped out—but I did know one thing: Michael Saunders & Company was the brand I wanted to be part of.

Not just because of the name here in Sarasota, but because of what it stands for. The constant learning, the way people genuinely support each other, and the level of professionalism that pushes you to be better every day—it just felt right.

And honestly, a big part of it is the woman behind it all—Michael Saunders. Her strength and resilience are something I really look up to.

Feeling grateful to be surrounded by people who lift each other up and make this industry feel like home 🤍
