Since 1976, Michael Saunders & Company has been the known and trusted name in luxury real estate in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. We proudly present the luxury sales results and applaud our experienced agents for successfully facilitating these transactions in the first quarter of 2019. Michael Saunders & Company also thanks and congratulates the many happy sellers and buyers beginning new chapters in our communities. We started 2019 with a bang in the luxury market, with record-breaking sales month after month and agents delivering exceptional results on both sides of the closing table. Between a Harbor Acres estate becoming the highest sale in Sarasota County since 2014, a corner penthouse in the Ritz-Carlton Tower Residences closing as the highest-priced residential sale in March and exquisite Siesta Key residences setting new benchmarks in both Bayfront and Condominium/Townhome/Villa living, it's clear our agents are in tune with the luxury buyer and market demand. According to Trendgraphix data, Michael Saunders & Company had the highest total luxury sales in units with both listings and buyers for Sarasota, Charlotte and Manatee counties – taking up an impressive 32% of the market share.
