Ready to sell in Sarasota?
In my years in the luxury real estate business, I have seen the same mistakes repeated over and over by sellers who did not get the outcome they deserved. Avoiding these common pitfalls is the fastest path to a better result and a higher closing price.

In this video, I’m walking you through the 6 biggest mistakes I see in the Florida luxury market:
-Hiring for Personality over Process: Why "liking" your agent isn't enough.
-Pricing a Dream vs. Market: The danger of emotional over-pricing.
-Treating Photography as a Line Item: Why your visuals are your most important marketing tool.
-Ignoring Open Houses: Why targeting only the agent community is a missed opportunity.
-Going Silent Between Showings: The importance of consistent momentum.
-Misunderstanding Luxury Negotiation: It’s a different game at the $1M+ level.
-The right information at the right time can be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Think all Lakewood Ranch HOA fees are the same? Think again. From $500 a quarter to nearly $2,000 a month, the price of "paradise" varies wildly depending on which village you choose. 🌴

In this video, I break down the massive cost difference between lifestyle communities like Esplanade and more modest spots like Star Farms.

Key Takeaway: Never sign a contract without the full HOA disclosure package!
