I received a wonderful phone call today from some buyers who purchased a beautiful villa on Siesta Key back in May of 2011.  It came on the market at what I felt was a very good price and we were able to negotiate it to an even better one with it closing at $332,000.  The owner had found the perfect home that she wanted to purchase and was in a hurry to rid herself of this one.  So, I get the call today that my buyers decided to refinance and the appraisal by the bank came in at $425,000.  They are extremely happy and it made me feel good that they thought to call me to share the good news and thank me for explaining to them why it was such a great property at the time.  These are the days that make me so glad to be a realtor!

There are plenty of property management companies serving Siesta Key to choose from -- some are good, and many are not so good -- so choosing the right one can be tricky.  Here are some tips to help you find a good Siesta Key Florida Property Manager: * Make sure they are well established -- over a decade in business is usually a good sign. * Make sure they are property management specialists -- you want an entire company dedicated to property management, not just a real estate office with an agent or two working on managing properties. * Be wary of excessive up-front fees -- enough said. Real Property Management has a 26 year track record, with 250+ offices nationwide and in Canada.  With over 60,000 residential properties under management we know the property management business bett...
