When you're looking for a partner to help you negotiate the complexities of selling a home, you've come to the right place. The experience, dedication and strong communication you'll receive here will help ensure the successful and profitable sale of your home:

1. The Local Advantage - Steve Martin and family relocated to Sarasota County in 1998. After developing an extremely strong knowledge of the greater Sarasota County area, Steve obtained his Florida real estate license in January of 2015 and moved into top performing status by the end of that year. In 2016 Katrina jumped in with both feet as she not only obtained her own real estate license, but also launched Little Black Dress Home Staging to support their sellers. Steve Martin now ranks #1 in closed sales with RE/MAX Platinum Realty from the start of 2020 through the end of 2023.   He also ranks #62 out of the 11,605 agents who sold at least one Sarasota County home during that same time period. That's what we mean when we state that an agent is in the top 1%.

2. Around The Globe Internet Advertising - Since the lion's share of home buyers start their search on the internet, top placement on search engines is essential. You'll gain access to placement on Google, Bing, and thousands of websites. Your home will be marketed around the world in a variety of languages, including but not limited to Chinese, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. This will maximize your exposure and bring a large number of potential buyers to view information about your home. Visit global.remax.com for a sample. 

3. People Buy Beautiful - Your property has one shot at a first impression. Katrina's specialty is making the most of every opportunity to "WOW" a potential buyer for you. From preparation, to photos, to open house events, to agent showings; Katrina is the one you need in charge of your decor - inside and out.

4. Personal Touch - Of course, technology alone won't sell your home. Face-to-face interaction provides the advantage to selling your home. The details will be handled with care and communication to ensure the marketing and sale of your home goes smoothly. 

5. Contract To Closing - This is where the rubber meets the road. The sales price is only one aspect of the contract. It's the other details that can make or break the full execution and closing of your contract to purchase. Once buyers and sellers have all signed, the contract is a legal and binding document. Getting it right the first time is critical to creating the greatest opportunity for a successful closing.
