Lots of Activity on Useppa

We have been BUSY...making presentations about Useppa and showing property to 266 people,  made up of caravans with five Michael Saunders offices, presentations at MSC sales meetings, hosting visiting Realtors from several offices of Sotheby's, Pepper Frazier & Co., Nantucket, and Coyle Realty, Tampa. We still have major presentations scheduled with two Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, next week, and a regional meeting of Sarasota Realtors, in October, plus two more caravans in October.

Last week, we entertained three journalists that specialize in Resorts, Real Estate and Food & Wine for two days....and a past editor of Gulf Shore Life, gone Freelance.  We also entertained the head of Sales from DuPont Registry, who visited with a group of friends, camping in for a day. They all fell in love with the Island, gave us industry and advertising advice and promised us great press....along with the potential for at least two weddings.  Here come the brides.....

For additional exposure, we have been donating our cottage for charitable events and, thus far, have been sold as the highest bid item at the Women’s Council of Realtors annual fund raiser. We've also offered our cottage for three additional charity events.  One that sounds like a lot of fun is the Annual BYOBachelor Auction in Sarasota, to benefit breast cancer.

  Another charitable event, the Sarasota Exotic Car Fest to benefit Cerebral Palsy (a VERY BIG TIME event). 

And, referred by our neighbor, Karen Able, we are supporting an event for St John Neumann Catholic High School, (their daughter’s school  in Naples) a well-attended and very well-funded event, year after year.  All of these events are during Season and are highly publicized.   So, lots of exposure!!

And, for the first time, Useppa Island homes can be seen on Luxury Portfolio International.  Just go to www.LuxuryPortfolio.com, click on “HOMES” and enter our MLS zip code 33924 to see several Useppa properties.  And, last, we were introduced in Gasparilla Magazine, presenting properties on Useppa....a whole page! 

This coming selling season is going to be exciting!!!  And, it is almost upon us!! Stay tuned....
