A FEW SUCCESS STORIES
South Sarasota Condo Makeover
A repeat client of ours purchased a condo located in a community where buildings were undergoing a complete exterior renovation. All buildings received new roofs, windows, and siding. The community was looking as good as it did when it was first constructed. Our client owned a existing unit in this community and decided to purchase [...]
Switching Management Companies
Sometimes, despite the research you perform or the recommendations you receive, relationships don't work out. It could be a personality conflict, missed expectations, or inflexibility (on both parties account). If you find yourself in this situation, then it may be time to find a new manager. Take note of what's working and what's not. Your [...]
Pruning Trees and Palms
Keeping trees trimmed is an on-going maintenance chore. Without regular trimming and thinning Live Oak trees can grow into the street and driveway becoming an obstacle for tall vehicles. A arborist can provide advice and services to help manage large trees like this Live Oak. Palms should generally be trimmed [...]
Ringling Museum Area – Villa Update
The owner of this spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa retained Lindsay Leasing to lease and manage the property after the existing tenants vacated. Upon our initial property inspection, we noted the unit's condition including paint, flooring, window treatments, and other details. The property was in need of a new paint job, flooring, and a [...]
Rivendell Landscaping Update
General gardening is not usually performed by regular vendors servicing a property. So when the landscaping needs sprucing up, we get involved to evaluate the situation and make recommendations. This Rivendell home had a few landscaping challenges. There was a large agave cactus in the center of the flower bed--a real menace. We had it, [...]
Turtle Rock Makeover
This single family home in Turtle Rock was in need of some "TLC" after being occupied for nearly five years by two different families. As property managers, we helped the owner identify upgrades and needed repairs. We recommended vendors, procured job materials, and oversaw all work performed. Paint, flooring, plumbing and pool cage screening were [...]
Phillippe Shores – Remodel
This Phillippe Shores single family home was purchased and remodeled by a military family for short term rental income and as a home to reside in upon retirement. After purchasing the home, the owners extensively remodeled the property to bring dated bathrooms, flooring and back yard pool up to today's standards. We consulted on what [...]
Lakewood Ranch – New Construction
We were referred to this client by a Realtor. The client is a property investor who purchased this Lakewood Ranch townhouse for recurring income and capital appreciation. This asset will earn rental income above its expense base allowing the owner to yield positive cash flow. Having timed the purchase well, the investor should also enjoy capital appreciation. [...]
Venice Pool Home – New Construction
A new community featuring resort-style amenities and bustling with new home construction is the backdrop for this project. We met the owners while the property was still under construction. Upon completion, this brand home was missing a few details before it could be leased. Once the certificate of occupancy was issued we were able to [...]
Cedar Park Waterfront Home
This property was purchased by a real estate investor for it's land value. Not only was there a gorgeous waterfront view, but a single family home, a cottage and a boat dock with davit. We had a year or so before plans to tear down and build or sell outright commenced. The investor needed the property [...]
