Why Our Practice Is "Referral-Driven"

...Referred clients are the very best clients. They're fun to serve. They become good friends. And they refer others just like themselves. What could be better! Our goal is to become a 100% referral business. But we can only accomplish this with your help. The next time you're on the phone with a friend...or responding to a nice email, why not mention our name and number, or simply refer people to our web site for information about buying, selling or renting a property. It's a win-win for everyone. Thanks for thinking of us!

We are really excited about some recent activity on Manasota Key! The building across the street from our office, which has been vacant for several years, finally has a new owner who's planning to open a seafood restaurant/bar on December 1st. Barbara DuMont, who's from Maine, has been busy renovating the restaurant and landscaping the exterior. In addition to serving seafood classics, "Flounders" will feature live Maine lobster in a casual setting right across the street from the beach. Make sure to check it out the next time you visit!
