HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY AWARDS IN YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE? CREDENTIALS?
“ I have been recognized in “Who’s Who” in Real Estate in the state of Florida, I was featured in the Burt Rogers School of Real Estate Who’s Who, I have maintained the status of the top 1% in my office in the 24 years that I have been there and consistently have been a top single producer, and I hold my GRI degree"
HOW DO YOU DIFFERENTIATE YOURSELF FROM OTHER TOP PRODUCING REALTORS?
“I am very service oriented. That may sound like a tired cliché. When someone comes to me to buy or sell a home, I like for them to be able to turn everything over to me. So they don’t have to worry about anything, from the electricity to the mortgage to meeting a handyman. There is enough stress involved with moving, I help take care of even the most minute details. Anything to make it easier for my client."
DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WORKING IN COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS?
“Yes. I have represented many trusts, estates, 1031 exchanges, and foreclosures. I am very comfortable with different degrees of difficulty and working with multiple parties in order to conduct a transaction.”
WHERE DO YOU SPECIALIZE?
“I have been in Sarasota for so many years. I am very familiar with all of the Sarasota market. I think that makes me unique from most other brokers. Very simply, I specialize in finding out what my customer’s wants and needs are and I fulfill that. That to me is the greatest specialty a Realtor can have.”
ANY SPECIALTY MARKETS?
“Because of my positioning in the flagship St. Armand’s office, where I’ve been since 1983, typically my average sale is in the upper segment of the market.”
WHAT DOES SERVICE MEAN TO YOU?
“Doing unconditionally whatever needs to be done.”
WHAT ARE THE MOST INFLUENTIAL FACTORS FOR THE SARASOTA MARKET?
“The Sarasota market has always been set apart from the rest of the market, within Florida and rest of the country. Sarasota has always been a destination for retirement, second homes. Now it is a destination where people want to live. Because of the wealth and income level of the Sarasota residents the market has remained very insulated against movement like California, the Northeast and the Midwest has seen. Being conservative by nature, the people who come to Sarasota, even though they can afford a more expensive house than they normally buy, during downturns in the market or higher interest rate times, we rarely experience a great deal of foreclosures or distress type sales.”
