At MSC, It’s Never Lonely at the Top – Deborah Beacham Represents Sarasota’s Top Sale for 2009
With all the chatter about the difficulties in today’s market, it would seem highly unlikely that anyone could achieve a feat of success and record-breaking significance. However, it is with much delight that we announce the recent momentous sale courtesy of the determined, market savvy Deborah Beacham of our South Longboat Key office. Along with the final closing signatures for the expansive waterfront property she represented at 552 S. Spoonbill Drive on Bird Key, Deborah earned recognition for Sarasota’s highest sale thus far in 2009. At a sold price of $4.75 million, this Bird Key property sits atop the growing mountain of Sarasota area sales we are processing, with many more sure to follow. Congratulations, Deborah!
In researching the true magnitude of this sale, we reflect on the area’s other top highest sales this year in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Each of which, we should mention, have included either the representation or buyer locating of a Michael Saunders & Company agent.
The absolute top sale in Sarasota and Manatee counties thus far for 2009 was sold by Christina Landry of our St. Armands Circle office. This property, located at 5871 Gulf of Mexico Drive on Longboat Key (in Manatee county), sold for an impressive $7.125 million.
The top-producing team of Terri Derr and Ken Torrington out of the South Longboat Key office represented the top sale in Sarasota’s prestigious Oaks community. Joan Parkinson of our Palmer Ranch office found the buyer for this property at 136 Osprey Point Drive, which closed at $3.175 million.
Not to be outdone, Linda Driggs of our Main Street office represented the top condominium sale for both Sarasota and Manatee counties for 2009 with the sale of 1111 Ritz-Carlton Drive, #1802, at $3.3 million in the soaring Ritz-Carlton Residences in downtown Sarasota.
We applaud the efforts and achievements of all our agents, who continue to guide homebuyers and sellers through our challenging market. By committing their talents and resources to every listing and client they represent, they set the benchmarks that keep Michael Saunders & Company at the forefront of the local real estate industry.

This is proof positive that there is life and real closed sales in the upper-end when you have a confident buyer, a willing, seller, and a skilled negotiator(agent)involved in the transaction..The upper-end is now being “cherry picked”just like other segments of the market.Three cheers for buyers, sellers and our agents who are making things happen.
