Best of the MSC Blog 2015

2015 was the launch of the all new MSC Blog. After nearly eight years of sharing the latest in Sarasota real estate and lifestyle on TheSaundersblog.com, we gave the blogging experience a complete face-lift in the form of a newly designed, simpler, cleaner, responsive platform. And the MSC Blog saw a lot of action as it was a remarkable year for company news, local accolades, and stunning Manatee, Charlotte and Sarasota homes for sale. We also expanded our reach with a new video series, "The Saunders in 60", showcasing each week the best in real estate and lifestyle in 60 seconds. The following is a look at our 10 most popular blogs for the year.
