“A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Today I’m standing in the Les Marais district in Paris, France. We’re here attending the 67th annual National Convention of French Realtors. We see France as very important because currently French people rank number four out of all countries coming to visit and invest in Florida. In fact, 17 percent of all international visitors to the United States originate their stay in Florida, and going forward Sarasota is looking to attract a large portion of this group.
Three Things Sarasota Does Really Well
There are three things Sarasota does extremely well, which are great matches for what international buyers are seeking:
First, education. International buyers are looking for a great education system, both at secondary school and college and university level, and the growth in the college and university higher education in Sarasota has been fantastic and a great draw for international buyers and investors in the past couple of years.
Second, they’re looking for an incredible arts and culture community. Sarasota currently ranks as the cultural capital of Florida, with a renowned Philharmonic orchestra and opera house, world-class art museums and festivals throughout the year. With Sarasota’s growth, evolution and philanthropic philosophy, this is only going to improve in years to come.
