Spanish conquistador Hernando DeSoto, who landed in Manatee County in 1539, searched the area in vein for gold. But mordern-day visitors can mine all manner of riches with just a bit of digging. At first, the casual observer might see little happening in this laid back county of 250,000 people. But on closer inspection, they will discover a community on the move, endowed with sprawling beaches along the Gulf of Mexico and a multitude of golf courses, plus easy access to beautiful Sarasota on the south and fast growing, urban Tampa-St.Petersburg on the north.

Finding the right community is as important as finding the perfect house. You probably can't imagine your next home without thinking about your new neighbors, friendships, or your child's new school. This is why it is important to find Realtors who are not only knowledgeable about real estate, but are also members of the community in which they sell homes.

Bradenton/Sarasota is our community and we are very proud to be a part of it. The "Sun Coast" has many attractive features and forms of entertainment, the most impressive aspect is the community itself. Contact Lois Meyers and Bill Givens today for your "Sun Coast" relocation package.
