As the New Year and a new decade quickly approach, I set aside time to review the past year and to reflect on it.

It has been a pleasure helping many of you find new homes and sell homes in 2019. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with each of you -- client, service provider, colleague. Together, we made real estate dreams come true.

And, what an exciting year 2019 has also been for Sarasota. Here are a few highlights:

  • The Bay Project was approved to bring a world class public waterfront park to our community. The first phase of the 53 -acre park could open as early as January 2022

  • Sarasota Art Museum on the Ringling College Museum Campus opened offering contemporary art galleries and continuing education classes taught by Ringling College instructors

  • U.S. News & World Report ranked Sarasota in the Top 20 of Best Places to Live in the U.S. and #2 of the Best Places to Retire


Here's to new beginnings, new opportunities and new and continuing friendships in 2020. Through the course of the year I will stay in touch by sharing real estate and Sarasota news. I hope to hear from you, too!

As always, I am here to assist you, your family and friends with any real estate need. Thank you for your continued loyalty. Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
