Bill Furst is in the house! The Sarasota CountyProperty Appraiser’s office that is.
Bill is a man of his word. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a seminar at Sarasota Association of Realtors and we discussed how poorly the Sarasota Property Appraisers website was with user interface for public data searches. Especially when compared [...]

Furst in place
January 6, 2009Listing in University Groves
October 22, 2008I’ll be visiting Univesity Groves this week to discuss listing Fidelity Homes model. The home I’ll be listing is the most functional layout I have ever seen. David Hunihan spares no details on quality and design when it comes to buildinig a home. I consider him one of the most educated builders and astute real estate professionals in [...]
SOLD, without a listing
September 16, 2008This was one of those deals that makes you scratch your head. A client of mine gave me two of her homes to sell that she bought a few years ago that were model leasebacks. She was fortunate to have another model home still being used as a model leaseback next door to a home that [...]
Mortgage Blame Game
July 21, 2008Some interesting articles and correspondence have come my way lately. A client of mine that works in the Insurance field sent me the following article and I thought it apt to be posted here. (Thanks Phil)

Sarasota Gulf Gate
July 14, 2008One of the best places I feel you could live centrally in Sarasota is Gulf Gate. When you consider you’re right in the mix of all the great location and amenities that Sarasota has with its beaches, shopping, parks and recreation.

Blackburn Point Waterfront Plan in Osprey
June 16, 2008When working on site doing sales for Lennar Homes in 2003 in Rivendell, I worried about the development of this beautiful quaint area of Sarasota. Condo’s were planned for the waterfront on Blackburn Point and I could only see the land and amenities taken away from us locals that cherished using this great area for relaxing [...]
University Mall Sarasota
May 30, 2008University Park, Mote Ranch, University and the I-75, exit 213 corridor are the epitomy of “location, location, location” these days. With current residential construction and communities that are within a young 10 year existance, the University Parkway communities and neighborhoods have everything within their reach. If that isn’t enough of a perk, the airport is [...]
Justifying cost
April 22, 2008I was visiting amazon.com tonight to check out a phenomenal artist; Victor Wooten. This guys is unbelieveable. But something came to mind, each one of his songs on Amazon.com can be purchased for $0.99. Some songs were 7:11 minutes in time and one of them was only 2:56 minutes. Regardless, they all were the same [...]
FINDERS KEEPERS, LOOSERS WEEPERS….
