Good morning!  I want to tell you about our award winning website, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and my Siesta Key Open Houses this weekend.

MichaelSaunders.com was named “best overall” website in the real estate industry by a panel of technology and marketing experts, plus and our mobile site is also #1!   I encourage you to take a look at our website and the features to search for homes by communities and lifestyle.  

Michael Saunders and Company beat out many of the largest national real estate brokerages, as determined by REAL Trends real estate analysis publishing company.

“We have found the website to not only be the front door for our company, but also for the region,” said Michael Saunders, the founder and top executive.   This website makes it easy for Buyers to closely define their home search, which saves time and energy--especially for people who are not familiar with Florida's gulf coast.   And since we have an impressive international presence, our website is a great way for Buyers--anywhere in the world--to see the homes that they would be interested in purchasing, considering the activities they enjoy or a particular community.  

Selling your home?  You are going to want to be sure your home is listed on www.MichaelSaunders.com for maximum exposure.  

Don't forget... Florida real estate contracts are changing next month as required by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (see www.consumerfinance.gov) and I'm up-to-date on how that affects real estate transactions.  Timelines for lenders have changed, and those under contract who miss the new deadlines have to start the mortgage approval process over again until they get it right; that affects both sides of the transaction for both Buyers and Sellers and will delay closings. 

I'll be holding Open Houses this weekend at Harbor Towers on Siesta Key beach, 5855 Midnight Pass Road, #207, a 1,755 sq ft condo with a full bay view, 3 BR 3BA, plus den reduced to $529,000.  This property is a wonderful investment because it allows rentals 26 times per year and it's pet-friendly; it will easily generate over $30,000 in income, and is updated and ready to go.  Seller is encouraging all offers because he has already purchased his new home.  Harbor Towers rents their boat docks for $1 per foot per month, Siesta Beach is a lovely place to live and visit, and this homeowners association is very financially solvent.  Since realtors are telling us they will be aggressively negotiating deals for their Buyers, I seriously look for this property to be SOLD soon.  This is a very large property for Siesta, an end unit, with fabulous water views--even from the kitchen.

Have a great Labor Day weekend and be safe!  

Sincerely,
Linda
