Testimonials
"Dear Laura, I can't believe how smoothly everything is going. You and your crew are incredible!! Thank you for all your work and organization. Isn't buying a house supposed to be more complicated than this?? Where are all the problems and the miscommunications. I am truly amazed...especially with us being out-of-state. I give you all the credit. Even my husband is calm....Again, thank you for all your help with this. Owning a home on Anna Maria Island is a dream of mine. My big extended family is also very very excited. It will be a home well used and loved."

"Dear Laura, I wanted to thank you for all your support in assisting me as the realtor for my father's estate. Your dedication during the entire sales process was unexpected, and greatly appreciated. Having to deal with this entire process out of state could have been quite difficult. In fact, it could have easily been a nightmare. Fortunately, you not only helped me to understand the process along the way, but you put that extra effort into dealing with my attorney, contractors, renter, and relatives. Thank you so much for being there, for your honesty, excellent advice, and yes - the sale! Feel free to use me as a reference, and know that when I retire to Anna Maria Island, you will be the first person that I will call. Sincerely,"

"Dear Laura, Ken joins me in thanking you for all the time and attention you gave us while helping us search for a "second home" and the subsequent negotiations and closing. Your attention to the details and your terrific communication with us made us very confident that things were going in the right direction at all times. Since we were so far away during these transactions, it was very reassuring to have you looking out for our interests. We wish you well in all your future endeavors and will certainly recommend you to friends and relatives looking for real estate in your area. Sincerely,"
Gerrie and Ken Mon Jun 23
"Dear Laura, Beth and I wanted to extend our thanks for all of the help you provided during the recent purchase of our condominium. We both believe that you went above and beyond the normal expectations of a realtor, and helped to ease the purchasing of an out of state property. We appreciate the assistance you provided with home inspectors, insurance, contractors, etc. Your guidance, expertise and patience have been greatly appreciated. Thanks again,"
Jeff and Beth Sat Nov 8

Hi Patella... The July 2008 Trends Report for Sarasota Homes AND Condos reflects a Sold/List Price
Ratio: 90% with 150 Days on Market. This is an average and will vary according to the property amenities, location, neighborhood amenties (waterfront, island, golf course, standard suburbian, condo or single family). Short Sales come with their own set of rules at direction of the Third Parties involved. Bank Owned properties are again entirely different.

Patella there are plenty of properties available to suit almost, if not all, of what you may be interested in. What's the right price, will be determined by what is the property, does it offer most, if not all, of your wants, and what your planned use is. Pre-Approval Letters, if financing, or a Proof of Funds Letter, if paying cash, will be needed. So be prepared and Welcome Home!

Why are "bank owned" homes being priced so low?

Laura E. McGeary, PA answered:
Hi Jo! REOs, also known as 'banked owned', the bank sets the pricing on the property to be sold. They may use more than one opinion in determining the pricing, such as, receiving 'suggested' pricing for a sale from more than one Realtor and/or their own appraisers. Once a property becomes bank owned, the previous owner is no longer involved. Hope this helps! - Sat Aug 2 2008, 12:26

Laura E. McGeary, PA answered:
Hi Marcy! Real Estate websites operate on downloads from the original sources, typically, multiple listing services. Often, they are delayed by up to two days to refresh. It's just part of the internet world of technology. Hope this helps! - Sat Aug 2 2008, 12:12

Question removed

Laura E. McGeary, PA answered:
Hi Vida... Since you've relisted your property with a different broker, have you considered sending a certified return receipt letter to the previous broker telling them to cease marketing your property on their personal websites? Hope this helps! - Sat Aug 2 2008, 12:09
