Tasty Holiday Treats

There’s something about holidays that brings about a desire for good food. Luckily, our city is filled with incredible places to eat.

Alpine SteakhouseThe Alpine Steakhouse is Sarasota’s only old-fashioned restaurant and meat market combo. This family-owned, award-winning, and Food Network-featured spot is sure to hit the spot for your Fourth of July meal.

Marcia’s Favorite Fruit
This time of year is also perfect for my favorite fruit — watermelon! Whether you’re spending the day at the beach or hosting a backyard barbecue, this delicious treat will be a hit.

Houses in High Demand

As we continue in this strong real estate market, homes are in high demand and inventory is extremely low. This makes it a perfect time to list your luxury home and make top-dollar on the sale, too.

With a median of 6 days from list-to-contract, the selling process is almost guaranteed to happen quickly.

No matter where you’re at in your home buying or selling journey, I’d love to support you however I can. My years of experience and extensive market knowledge can help make the process as simple as can be.

Happy 4th of July!
