Andrew, Nancy and Natalie Foster Connections and Collaboration in Nashville
Andrew, Nancy and Natalie just returned from a week in Nashville where they participated in Sotheby's International Realty's Global Networking Event (GNE). GNE brings the Sotheby's International Realty community together, giving agents the opportunity to build connections, fuel referrals, and tap into a powerful channel of inspiration and motivation.

This year's theme, Composing the Future Together, encouraged learning from one another and tapping into experts from outside the real estate category to stay on the cutting edge of creating value for clients amidst continued change in the industry.

The Cabins at TerraNova
Disney Magic Finds a New Home
at TerraNova
TerraNova Equestrian Center recently purchased 50 Disney Fort Wilderness cabins to provide a glamping experience for competitors and visitors to the facility. The Cabins at TerraNova will be located across from the RV camping area, south of Badminton Way by the RV entrance to TerraNova on Clay Gully Road. Site preparation and infrastructure work is underway. Once in place, the cabins will be fitted with a personal deck space. The cabins will be ready for guests in 2025.

Disney built the cabins in 1998 and 2001. They are just under 500-square-feet and contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living space. Each cabin has a queen bed, twin bunkbeds and sofa bed. Disney is transitioning Fort Wilderness into a Disney Vacation Club destination, replacing the original cabins with new ones.

One of One Ad Campaign
Sotheby's International Realty Launches "1 of 1" Ad Campaign
A new world of luxury for an emerging luxury audience
Sotheby's International Realty announced the launch of its new global advertising campaign earlier this month. By adopting the notion of "1 of 1," which typically refers to something one-of-a-kind, Sotheby's International Realty showcases homes for a new era of luxury. This approach is defined by the company's keen eye for a home's special attributes and the unique experiences and lifestyles they offer. This campaign builds on the brand's strategy to connect with an emerging affluent generation of buyers that values individualism and self-expression.

The new campaign reinforces the cachet of having the iconic blue Sotheby's International Realty sign in your front yard.

LOCAL UPDATE: MIDNIGHT PASS
Midnight Pass
County Commission Votes to
Pursue Legislative Action to Allow Reopening of Midnight Pass

Current legal precedents prohibit the creation of new inlets
In 1983, Midnight Pass, which allowed the free exchange of tidal waters between Siesta Key and Casey Key, was closed. During a project to deepen the Intracoastal Waterway, the Army Corps of Engineers dredged Little Sarasota Bay and deposited the dredged material at the inlet which was then filled by two property owners. The closing has resulted in poor conditions in Little Sarasota Bay. Controversy over reopening Midnight Pass ensued for decades.

Earlier this month, Sarasota County commissioners considered three options for improving water quality in Little Sarasota Bay. Option A: Study reopening Midnight Pass. Option B: Implement a system for natural water exchange. Option C: Work to change the law if current legislation does not allow reopening Midnight Pass.

The commissioners voted unanimously for Option C, and instructed staff to work with the county's lobbyist, the community and the state delegation to draft an amendment to amend the Florida statute to allow for restoration of the tidal connection to Little Sarasota Bay.

PRICING TO SELL
Pricing Your Home
Is Your House Priced Too High?
4 Signs a high asking price may be turning potential buyers away

Every seller wants to get their house sold quickly, for as much money as they can, with as few headaches as possible. But did you know one of the biggest things that could jeopardize selling success is the asking price? Pricing your house correctly is one of the most crucial steps in the selling process.

Here are four signs a high asking price might be turning potential buyers away:

  1. You're Not Getting Many Showings or Offers
  2. Buyers Have Consistent Negative Feedback after Showings
  3. It's Been on the Market for Too Long
  4. Your Neighbor's House Sold Without an Issue
Pricing a home correctly is both an art and a science. It requires a deep understanding of the market and buyer psychology. And when the price isn't drawing in buyers, there's no better resource than the Laughlin Tanner Group to determine what you may want to do next.
