Sarasota Real Estate News

I'm finishing my book, Motion to Intervene, my own story about purchasing investment properties in a Rocky Mountain ski village during pre-construction--before I became a licensed Realtor.  This formed my career as a Realtor and it took four years of lawsuits to recover a small portion of the money I lost from the contractors and real estate brokerage.    This is a "buyer's beware" book, especially for new construction and a warning to consumers about working with reputable real estate professionals - and it's not all about the national brand! 
 
Anything that could have gone wrong at this project DID!  This town resented out-of-state investors--especially outsiders from "back East," who had driven up real estate prices, so I felt my claim was better in federal court.  One law firm wanted $20,000 to help me, so I represented myself.  

Motion to Intervene is about going home for Dad's funeral, and falling in love with a good-looking cowboy and family friend.  Six weeks later, Renee returned from Atlanta, and asked Charles to take her to the Rockies where her family camped and fished in the 1960's.  She noticed a sign "Condos for Sale," in the window of a nationally branded real estate brokerage,  When she saw the property, Renee was so impressed by the amazing mountain views--it was exactly what she remembered on family vacations--so she bought two shortly after groundbreaking.  The project was a joke around town, and no, I did not marry the cowboy.... :-)  I signed confidentiality agreements in my court settlements, so the location and names were changed in the book to protect me from being sued the rest of my life.  

I hope that Motion to Intervene will be ready for publication this fall.  In the meantime, my team mates and I are here to help you with your real estate needs in Sarasota and Siesta Key, Florida!   Please check out my testimonials at my website: www.LindaHrealtor.com and "Like" me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LindaHolleyLLC
