Gotta love a smooth transaction once in a while. Very happy for my NJ buyers who looked for appx. 5 years before talking to me. We came up with an actionable plan and executed it within weeks, and now here they are, happy new SWFL homeowners! Congratulations!! 🎉🌴

Busy weekend in real estate (even though I was out of the country)... finally getting around to posting some big wins for my clients!
1. My listing at SaraBay Country Club went under contract with a strong offer and a 2.5 week closing.
2. My buyers and I negotiated a heck of a deal on a QMI at Seaflower... with the builder covering $20k (nearly all) of the closing costs!

If you are looking to buy or sell in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch area, shoot me a message... I am happy to help.

Very exciting times for my NJ buyers! They have been actively watching the SWFL market and trying to figure out the best course of action (with regards to a second home purchase) for the past 5 years or so. After speaking with half a dozen agents over the years, and a recent poor experience with a local builder rep, they found me online and we quickly determined an action plan and I sent them the perfect newly listed property. Stars aligned and we beat out 2-3 other offers, and here we are! In about a month they will be the proud new owners of this 2 year old home just 20 minutes from the beach.

If you or someone you know has been on the fence about buying in the greater Sarasota area, let's have a chat. What you learn might surprise (and guide) you. 941-999-0364.

This one feels good... It is always a pleasure to serve referral clients, but it is especially nice (and fun) to help such friendly folks! After a couple different visits from MA and touring a number of the local newer communities, we found the perfect second home; a brand new, corner lot villa built by Neal Communities. While the property was listed at $450k, we were able to negotiate down to $380k and have ALL closing costs covered, as well as a rate buy down under 6%, which for a second home is very good.

I sell a lot of new construction but I will say that did an amazing job... from salesperson to lender to construction manager to closing... very impressive. Thank you.

Most importantly, my clients are super happy and ready to enjoy Florida winters 🌴🎉.

1.5 DAYS.

That is all this deal took from contract to close. Definitely the fastest real estate transaction of my career. The price and photos in this post probably look familiar because I just posted the exact same thing 1 week prior... There was a cancelation in the same (new construction) building where we just closed and my investor buddy jumped on it; signed documents Wednesday night and closed on Friday morning. Due to the Builder's quarter end and a lightning fast close, we were able to beat the sh*t out of them on price. And we have a renter in place so just 5 days after closing it is already cash flowing.

If you position yourself right, have an agent with a pulse on things and the right connections, anything can happen.

Most of all, I am very excited for my client, who continues to make great, strategic decisions growing his real estate portfolio.

I love taking care of my referral clients! I helped a couple lovely snowbirds from MA buy an amazing house in Osprey in 2024. They of course LOVE IT. And since then, their best friends have come down to visit a few times, and finally decided it was time to buy something for themselves. Best results possible for them... we were able to beat up the builder quite a bit during negotiations... $60k off list price, ALL closing costs covered, and a 4 point rate buy down on their dime as well! Buying a second home in FL is much easier than you may think... with the right Realtor, of course 😃.

If you are currently battling blizzard conditions in the NorthEast, give me a call to learn how you can stop shoveling snow and start working on your tan. 🌴

Another successful new construction purchase for my repeat client/investor/friend. Can you imagine getting a brand new townhome in the heart of Lakewood Ranch for $265k!? Well, we did it! And I have already secured him a tenant to move in within 1 week.

If you are looking for a great way to A. Build equity, B. Get positive cash flow, and C. Invest in real estate for one of the many available tax strategies.... then let's talk.

I work with people everyday making smart moves with their money and guide them on how they can use the local real estate market to their advantage. Most people don’t realize how many tax advantages and wealth strategies exist inside real estate. If you want me to show you how investors are using property to legally reduce taxes and build long-term income in the Sarasota area, send me a DM.

This is one of those "feel good" transactions where you help a lovely couple get under contract on their dream home just 3 miles from their favorite beach! You also negotiate some extra closing cost assistance and rate buy-down 😉. And in about 5-6 months (build time), this brand new home will have new owners! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉🌴

You will never guess what we got this 5 bedroom house under contract for! Very happy for my client/friend who continues to add to his rental portfolio! When this closes, it will be cash flowing heavy from day one 🎉💪😃

Very happy to report that my repeat client and friend has bought another investment property in Lakewood Ranch! This is part of a larger tax strategy that is saving him something in the neighborhood of $50-60k a year (that he doesn't have to give to uncle Sam)!

We were able to get one of the last units in Azario before they are closed out and negotiated a heck of a deal, especially considering the brand new Publix and elementary school that are going in just a few blocks away. This is going to be a successful rental for years to come.

Let me know if you or your friends and family are interested in investing in Florida Real Estate.... I probably have a good solution for you. 🎉🌴
