Real estate done right.

09/14/2026

You know what closed on Lido Key last week? 🏝️

Five condominiums in one building. Just over $56 million between them. Every buyer paid cash. 💰

The smallest was $5.4 million. The largest was $14 million.

Now here's what I find interesting 📊 Thirty-eight condos closed in all of Sarasota County that week. Five of them were at this one address — about 13% of the sales, but 71% of the money.

And before anyone calls it a buying frenzy: two of those five closed below asking, and the oldest contract was written back in 2022. This was a building delivering, not a market surging. 🏢

Happy to walk you through what it means for your own building. 📞

Considering a home on a Sarasota or Longboat Key canal? Ask the seawall's exact age. 🌊

✅ Typical lifespan: 25–50 years
✅ Well-built concrete with regular inspections: 40–50 years
✅ Neglected timber walls: as little as 15–25 years

💡 A 40-year-old wall with visible cracking has killed deals through lender denials. Has this one been inspected recently?

Meeting the appraiser at your Florida listing? Here's what NOT to say. ⚠️

✅ Never suggest a target value or ask them to "hit a number"
✅ Never ask them to overlook property defects
✅ Federal Dodd-Frank rules strictly prohibit influencing their opinion

💡 A single careless comment has led to lenders pulling appraisers and delaying closings by weeks. Has your agent briefed you before the appointment?

Wondering who's responsible for the appraisal fee when you sell? Here's the clear answer. 💰

✅ The buyer pays, not the seller, in almost every Florida sale
✅ Typical range: $450–$650 in Sarasota/Manatee, higher for waterfront
✅ It appears on the buyer's closing disclosure, ordered by their lender

💡 Has this come up in conversations with your buyer's agent yet?

Longboat Key neighbors — wondering what's happening with the Half Moon House? 🤔

Here's the latest:

• The Gulf-front home at 6541 Golfside Road had an August 1st deadline for permanent repairs
• It was declared unsafe after its support pilings deteriorated, plus damage from Helene and Milton in 2024
• The repairs weren't finished by the deadline — but the town isn't moving forward with demolition
• Temporary shoring underneath has made the structure safe enough for now
• An engineering inspection found the supports and fencing protect both the structure and the public

The town says its goal has always been compliance and safety, not demolishing someone's property. 🏛️

The owner is working with the town on a revised timeline. Plans include replacing damaged pilings and raising the home from about 13 feet to 19.4 feet above sea level.
