A Message From Michael Saunders
My good friends:
Summer has settled in and with it comes no better time to investigate the exceptional
values that are sprinkled generously throughout our market. Recently, a front-page,
above-the-fold headline in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune proclaimed what we’ve known
for quite some time. It read: “Local Real Estate Market Perks Up.”
The newspaper was reacting to the news that sales in the Sarasota-Manatee market
showed another month of solid recovery in April; besting other Florida markets many
times its size and proving that confidence has replaced hesitation wherever buyers
detect outstanding values. Read all about it in this month’s “Market Update.”
One of the best places to discover these values now lives on michaelsaunders.com.
Visit our home page and click on “Bank Owned & Best Opportunities.” There you can
browse a select list of properties that have been expertly judged to be among the
absolute best values in their respective price ranges and/or neighborhoods.
Meanwhile if you’re a first time home buyer or have never purchased through
Michael Saunders & Company before, in our Discovery Data section you can find out about the ancillary services
that we’ve set up to guide you seamlessly through every step of the process—and then some.
This month we are also pleased to welcome ThisWeekInSarasota.com
as our new partner in keeping you in-the-know about all that is happening after-hours all over town.
With all the daily and nightly goings-on around town, you’ll see why Sarasota-Manatee
is fast becoming the number one lifestyle destination for an ever-increasing number
of newcomers. For while we may not be the biggest or the splashiest of all possible
places to live in Florida, we definitely offer the most well-rounded lifestyle—with
plenty for everyone—that you’re likely to find anywhere in the Sunshine State.
Read on and find out why!
We would love to hear your comments and suggestions as to what you would like to read in the weeks and months ahead. Please email them to me, care of
editor@michaelsaunders.com. Meanwhile enjoy our third issue.
