I’ve really been enjoying this video journey with neighborhood and home tours while mixing in information on the housing market, predictions, stats, coming soon listings, and how to navigate through a sale from contract to closing, pitfalls and challenges that arise throughout the process. We also show you some of our favorite must do’s and must sees like local restaurants, shops, spas, areas and so much more.

Florida is the nation’s premier travel destination for vacation, relocation and retirement… and Sarasota tops the list of beaches as well as a hub for those with the affinity toward fine arts, culture and exceptional cuisine. It’s not just because of our sun, beaches and tax haven anymore!
