Marvelous March
One, Two, Three Strikes You Win!
The days are getting longer, the sun is getting stronger, and spring is in the air here in Sarasota. Spring training begins here the first week in March.
If you are a baseball lover, you will be in heaven! From Tampa, to Ft. Myers, Sarasota is midway, and you can see all of your favorite teams.

What a whirl- wind the last few months have been, and we want to say how much we have enjoyed all of you who were able to attend the Retirement Expos and stopped at our booth. We look forward to your visits, and to be able to find you wonderful places down here to spend those cold winter months that you get up north. (We came down here 22+ years ago from Buffalo N.Y., so we definitely know what you are going through)!
Lakewood Ranch is expanding – more new communities are being built, as Lakewood Ranch is still the number 1 Master planned community in the country. Not just 55+ communities, but family friendly as well.
New restaurants, not only all around Sarasota, but Waterside the newest “downtown” area in Lakewood Ranch is filled with all kinds of events -
As Buyers Agents, we work hard to not only get you the best pricing possible – New or Resale, but also focus on “working for you” in all aspects of your home purchase.
As many of you are still in the midst of winter, and you think about putting your home on the market, I thought I would share a few hints.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Become your buyer!
What do you see when you pull up to your home?
Does the first impression say: this home looks pristine. (Are the bushes trimmed, the front door freshly painted- the weeds pulled from in between the cracks in the sidewalk?)
Prep the main parts of the home
- Does the front of your home look inviting- pulling the buyer inside?
- Is there a light in the entry way?
- Is it sparkling clean and free of clutter?
- Make sure the floors are in good shape
- Rugs cleaned
- Walls and moldings painted and fresh
- Windows and doors all are clean and fresh
Empty all the top shelves (do this in every closet and cabinet in the whole house) you have to pack anyway, just get a head start. This makes it seem like you have so much storage.
We look forward to helping you live your dream!
Until Then – Enjoy!!!!

As you think about putting your home on the market,
a few hints:
You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
Become your buyer – If you weren’t moving to Paradise, would you buy your home at the price you are asking?
What do you see when you pull up to your home?
Does the first impression say: Wow- this home looks pristine?
As they walk through your home, can your buyer envision each room for his or her purpose? Is there plenty of room for their belongings? Empty every top shelf ( do this in every cabinet and shelf in the house). You have to pack any way, this will give you a head start. Whether you are dreaming of downtown or dockside, water view or your favorite fairway, our commitment is to help you discover your ultimate lifestyle.
So now you are thinking –
“How do I get the most dollars out of my home when I sell?”
Your mission is to make your home show like a model.
Declutter-Declutter-Declutter!!
The most important thing to remember is: once you decide to put your home on the market, it becomes a house and not your home – (you have to pack anyway, so why not get started early)
Look at your house though buyer’s eyes.
What do you see when you pull up to your house and park your car? Curb appeal is so important. You only get one chance to make a first impression.
Does the front of your home have an inviting and welcoming allure? Are your bushes and other plant life trimmed and tidy? Arrange a few pots of colorful plants and frame the entry way to invite your perspective buyer into their new home.
As you enter, are you greeted with a neutral fresh scent? You want to appeal to all the senses for greatest effect.
Is your paint color neutral so others can visualize their furniture in the house? As you walk from room to room is everything neat and tidy?
Are your kitchen counters clear? Empty every top shelf, every cabinet, every closet, and anyplace that has a top shelf leave empty. After all – you want to give the illusion of more than enough storage for anyone to need.
Hope these few little hints help you get on the right track.
As always, we love helping you live your dream! Whether it's purchasing a vacation home or a permanent relocation. Don’t hesitate to call or of course eMail with any of your real estate questions.
Until Then Enjoy . .
