		<description><![CDATA[This past week Michael Saunders &#038; Company proudly launched its 35th  year of serving the comprehensive real estate needs of the Southwest Florida community; along with happily reaffirming our chief specialty—perfected carefully over these many years—of listing and selling the region’s finest high-value properties.

It’s no coincidence that substantially more of today’s luxury home buyers—by far—purchase properties using agents from Michael Saunders &#038; Company than from any other real estate company in Southwest Florida. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone caught by a fast incoming tide will know the feeling.  The children went off exploring caves and rock pools, and it was so nice sunbathing on the beach.  There seemed plenty of time to get to safe ground before the tide turned.  But really there wasn’t.  The tide is no respecter of the tardy, the forgetful or the ignorant.  It is a game of chicken with only one winner.  King Canute taught the English that in the 11th century when he tried to turn back the tide.  He failed.]]></description>

That&#8217;s important to remember when you&#8217;re planning to sell your home and are interviewing prospective listing agents from competing companies.  You will likely be promised everything under the sun&#8212;from marketing superiority to a wealth of international connections&#8212;in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debate over whether home prices have stabilized in Southwest Florida has reached something of a confusing impasse, with as many experts saying they have as those who think they haven&#8217;t quite.
Regardless of whom hindsight eventually crowns the winner of this somewhat ludicrous debate&#8212;which accomplishes little more than stalling our recovery by injecting more uncertainty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news out of Sarasota-Bradenton’s real estate market continues to brighten considerably. In just the past few weeks, there has been more positive news reported than at any time in the past two years. Clearly, there’s cause for optimism and even diehard skeptics are beginning to feel the glow. Here are just a few random thoughts on a recovering market:

Even though the phenomenon has been largely ignored until recently, it has finally been reported that Sarasota-Bradenton has been Florida’s top performing market for virtually all of 2007. Quarterly statistics compiled by the Florida Association of Realtors not only bear this out but further reveal that we are presently outselling mega-markets like Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Especially noteworthy is the fact that our condominium sector is ahead in unit sales for the third consecutive quarter—most recently by 15 percent, with prices that have remained firm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the real estate boom of 2004/2005 was running full tilt, it almost seemed like anyone who could draft a contract—and produce a pen to help everyone sign it—could sell your home. Often in just minutes.

These days a home can languish on the market for months—maybe much longer—if the associate you choose lacks the experience required to understand the shifting dynamics of today’s market. Or launches the relationship by overpricing your home just to win your business.

Here are a few suggestions to help you choose an associate who will definitely operate in your best interests:]]></description>
