I may be the only realtor exclusively focused on finding or marketing golf community properties in Southwest Florida. I have more than 15 years of Sarasota golf experience as a Class "A" PGA professional and several years of course construction and superintendent expertise.

The essence of my service is straightforward. If you are in the market, I want to find a golf course property that is ideal for you. If you are selling your golf community home, I want to find you the right buyer.

Why me? Here are some of the reasons:

1. I know every golf course in Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton. I have played them all.

Would you like to know what type of grass is on the greens in University Park or the Meadows?
Or how about the challenges of the Ritz Carleton, Heritage Oaks, Lakewood Ranch Country Club, or the Country Club of Sarasota?

2. I know the inside dynamics of every club and the people who run them:

Is it public,semi private or private?
What are the fee and rate structures?
Is the clubhouse style formal or casual?
What are the types and quality of on and off course services? How about facilities?
How about the pros, management and the members involvement?

3. I know golf lifestyles:

Full time residency, second home, seasonal, vacation or investment?
Is there a Home Owners Association? How does it work? Who runs it? Do they provide insurance, maintenance, grounds keeping, etc.
How do I manage my property if I am a seasonal user?
How do taxes work? How is Florida buying different? What should I know?
Country club, gated community or do you want gulf coast country club or a home or condo found within, including those on Lido Key, Bird Key, and Longboat Key?
An upscale residence in the Founder's club, the Concession, Prestancia or the Oaks?
Perhaps a property best site for seasonal use in Heritage Harbor, Tara, Pelican Pointe or Waterford, such as a maintenance free condo or home?
Who lives in these communities? Who can I talk to before I buy ? Who are my neighbors?
Where is the best value?
Where can I keep my boat or play tennis? What type of shopping and entertainment is nearby?
Where are the best schools? What are the surrounding neighborhoods like?

I can answer all of these questions. I can fit a buyer to a lifestyle, not just to a property. I have the resources of Southwest Florida's premiere and most successful realtor behind me -
Michael Saunders and Company. We are an unbeatable combination!

I truly may be the only logical choice if you are interested in buying or selling in a Sarasota, Venice, or Bradenton golf course community!

I am also a proud former marine officer!
