My niece decided it was time to film a documentary about her aunt being a Realtor®. I’m not entirely sure this is the publicity I was looking for… but here we are. 😂

Hope it gives you a laugh!

As a Realtor, one of the most important things to me is being able to confidently refer my clients to people I truly trust. Moving can be stressful, emotional, and overwhelming — which is why having the right team matters.
That’s why I’m so happy to recommend Sunshine Movers ☀️🚚
Professional, dependable, caring, and the kind of company I feel confident putting my name behind when my clients are ready to make their move.
Whether you’re relocating to Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, or anywhere in Manatee County, having trusted local professionals beside you makes all the difference.
If you're thinking about buying, selling, relocating, or making your next move — I would love to help guide you home.

☀️ TODAY’S FEATURED COMMUNITY: WATERCOLOR PLACE ☀️
By Medallion Home | Bradenton, FL

One community that has really caught my attention lately is Watercolor Place by Medallion Home.

If you are looking for newer construction close to Lakewood Ranch — but without some of the higher fees you see in surrounding communities — this is definitely one to put on your radar.

✨ One of the biggest highlights?
NO CDD FEES.

That is becoming harder and harder to find in newer gated communities in this area.

Watercolor Place offers a beautiful mix of villas and single-family homes with a maintenance-assisted lifestyle, resort-style amenities, natural gas, and gorgeous modern coastal designs.

A few standout features:
• Gated community
• Resort-style pool & spa
• Fitness center
• Outdoor kitchen & grilling area
• Villas & single-family homes
• Lawn care included
• Convenient to Lakewood Ranch, I-75, shopping, dining & golf
• Great option for seasonal or full-time Florida living

✨ Villas:
1,436 – 1,629 Sq Ft
2 Bed | 2 Bath | 2-Car Garage

✨ Single Family Homes:
1,996 – 3,041 Sq Ft
2–4 Bedrooms Available

This community really offers a nice balance between luxury finishes, convenience, and lower monthly overhead compared to many surrounding new construction options.

If you would like more information, current availability, pricing, or would like to tour Watercolor Place, I would love to help.
