Chicago is my kind of town.
After a whirlwind two day trip to the Midwest, I can declare that Chicago is an amazing town with a great affinity for Southwest Florida.
Joel Schemmel and I visited with over 200 real estate agents from the three top firms in Illinois including Sudler Sotheby’s International Realty, Crawford Sotheby’s International Realty and BRE Sotheby’s International Realty. Over two days, we promoted new home projects including Seagrove, The Founders Club, Desoto Grande and Devonshire Park.
We expect to see a number of significant sales as a result of the trip including an overwhelmingly positive reaction to our new fractional ownership project Desoto Grande www.desotogrande.com.
Tax records indicate a larger percentage of Illinois residents own second homes in Sarasota and Manatee counties. In fact, residents of Illinois make up the second largest percentage of out of state visitors to our website.
Many thanks to all those who made the trip such a success.
