Michael Saunders & Co. Realtors Negotiate Benchmark Sale

Business

An off-market residence in Harbor Acres has become, according to MLS records, the highest sale in Sarasota County since October 2014, when it closed last Thursday for $9.85 million. The sale was negotiated and concluded within two weeks by Michael Saunders & Company Realtors Barbara Sassen May (buyer representative) and Debra Pitell-Hauge (seller representative). The property boasts unobstructed, panoramic views of downtown Sarasota and Bird Key, 146 feet of private seawall, and proximity to popular West of Trail and Southside Village shopping, dining and attractions. The brokerage boasts a 25.79% market share for luxury property, as reported in its fourth-quarter report for the Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties.

Sassen May works out of the Michael Saunders & Company St. Armands Circle office at 61 S. Boulevard of the Presidents; Pitell-Hauge works out the Michael Saunders & Company Longboat Key South office at 440 Gulf of Mexico Drive.
