Hot take for Florida condo sellers: 🔥 "The assessment wasn't officially levied yet" is not a legal defense. It's a $91,595 lawsuit waiting to happen. The FL Realtors condo rider requires disclosure of assessments that are levied, pending, OR in board minutes in the 12 months before closing. Johnson v. Davis (1985) adds an independent duty to disclose material facts. Contract language doesn't override common law. Pull the minutes. 📞 Have questions or ready to talk real estate?

Hot take: the Florida condo "packet at closing" era is officially dead. 🪦 As of January 1, 2026, any condo with 25+ units must publish budgets, minutes, reserve studies, and SIRS reports on a public association website. HB 913 killed reserve waivers for roofs, seawalls, and foundations. If an association's reserves aren't fully funded → an assessment is coming. Read BEFORE the offer, not after. 📞 Have questions or ready to talk real estate? Call me directly at 941.400.8735.

Big retail news for Sarasota — IKEA is planning a location at University Town Center. Not the warehouse format. A smaller showroom for browsing, design help, and order-for-delivery.

The whole north end of Anna Maria Island was basically paid for by a cookie. Charles Roser patented the Fig Newton recipe in 1891. When Nabisco bought him out he took the money to Anna Maria, platted the streets, built the water system, the pier, and the island's first church in 1913. 📞 Have questions or ready to talk real estate?

Downtown Sarasota's future is up for serious debate — and it's coming from the condo owners themselves. A panel hosted by the Downtown Sarasota Condominium Association ripped the city's master plan implementation: too many administrative approvals, too little public input, too soft on developers. The 25-year-old plan is now being updated. 📞 Have questions or ready to talk real estate? Call me directly at 941.400.8735.
