Sharing the spotlight are the Sarasota Ballet of Florida, Sarasota Opera and the Florida West Coast Symphony. The newly refurbished and enlarged Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall provides a full season of touring Broadway productions, ballet, symphonic concerts, and performances by a wide variety of musicians.

Of course, Sarasota is also home to the John and Mabel Ringling Museum, which features the works of Peter Paul Rubens, as well as fine Baroque and Renaissance collections. Periodically, every spring, the museum grounds features the Medieval Fair.

Ringling Museum

Sarasota is home to two state parks: Myakka State Park and Oscar Scherer State Park. The intracoastal Waterway is a popular attraction for boaters and sightseers alike. Another internationally known attraction, The Mote Marine Aquarium, contains a 135,000-gallon shark tank, a "touch tank", and a laboratory that is famous for its research on sharks and other marine life. Among the many other nature preserves is the historic Spanish Point, which offers guided tours, festivals and Indian middens. The Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary offers "temporary housing" to under-the-weather birds and other animals.

Sarasota's crown jewel is undoubtedly the island of Siesta Key. The sand on Siesta Beach has been judged the "Finest, Whitest Sand in the WORLD" by Dr. David Aubrey of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Siesta Key also offers numerous shopping areas, superb fishing, a fine selection of excellent restaurants, and well-maintained tennis courts and outdoor parks.

Boat Races

With over 35 miles of breathtaking coastline and accessible beaches, Sarasota County offers all sorts of outdoor activities and gorgeous sunsets. Whatever your pleasure, you'll find charter boats, jet ski rentals, snorkeling lessons, sailing, sailboarding, fishing charters, sightseeing cruises, and so much more. Sarasota County has it all for sports fans. Baseball lovers can watch their favorite teams during Spring Training at Ed Smith Stadium. Golf enthusiasts can choose from over three dozen local golf courses. During the Fourth of July weekend, the Suncoast Offshore Boat Races take place right off the coasts of Siesta Key, Longboat Key and Lido Key. Referred to as "The Indy 500 of offshore boat racing," the races raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for area organizations for the handicapped, and captivates visitors and Sarasotans alike for the entire weeklong event.

Selling Your Home >Locating A Buyer Listing your home with our agency gives you the advantage of having a team of experts apply themselves to the task of finding you a buyer as quickly as possible. In the process, we try to arrange showing appointments that are convenient to both parties, but it does not always work out that way. Last-minute appointments are sometimes necessary because buyers who are relocating from other areas are often on tight schedules. This can be annoying to sellers unless they understand the nature of the real estate agent's job. When selling homes, we sometimes have to rely on our intuition. Many sales have been consummated as the result of last-minute appointments. The prospective buyer who is on a very short house hunting trip may need a house now! In this kind of situation, the real estate agent can make things can happen fast! So when the phone rings at the last-minute, keep in mind that the appointment represents an opportunity for the sale.
