Britons Searching for Florida Luxury Realty – Sarasota the Hot Spot

Great news this week – along with the overall positive outlook in the Sarasota real estate market – we’re also seeing the return of international buyers. I wrote recently about the increasingly international culture here in Sarasota, and how that’s good for business, good for real estate and good for residents. In fact, a part of my job I really enjoy is working as a certified international property specialist and helping people looking for international luxury property.

Now it seems it’s not just the great lifestyle and culture of Sarasota that’s attracting buyers, but also the reviving property market, and the favorable exchange rate according to this financial website in the UK. Buyers from Britain are particularly keen on Florida as an investment, and Sarasota is one of the top choices. Several have recently contacted me because they’re looking for real estate agents Sarasota, Fl.

I’ve worked with many international clients over the years, and several British families looking for Florida luxury realty. It’s always a pleasure to help people from Britain, Europe, and all around the world find their slice of paradise here in Sarasota. Plus I think the influx of international visitors and homeowners is a huge bonus for our community.

As the above article advises, if you’re an international buyer looking for an investment property in Sarasota, make sure your estate agent in Sarasota is reputable and has the Certified International Property Specialist qualification from the National Association of Realtors, as I do. This means your international realtor will understand foreign buyers specialist requirements for mortgages, visas, currency and tax.

The article gives some other sound advice I can always agree with:

“Don’t choose a house, choose a realtor….you’ll find your dream home easily enough it’s much harder to find an agent you can work with and trust.”

Words to live by!
