It's been a while!
 
The last couple months we have been working hard to improve service and we discovered we needed an extra pair of hands, or six! 
 
This month we have brought on a seasoned agent to the team (more on her later), a new Executive Assistant and we are working on a new director of sales! What does this means to you? In the current real estate climate when a property hits the market it is an all hands on deck, get to the property, write the contract and submit as soon as possible. With the systems we are building at LCL we will ensure your real estate needs will be met with the care and urgency they deserve. 
 
We have seen an uptick of listings hitting the market. As interest rates trend up this means when we bring listings to the market we need them to be in the best condition possible. The extra pair of hands gives us the ability to give each seller the attention to detail needed to compete in this ever changing market. 
 
The last two listings we brought to market took 3 weeks and 4 months, respectively,  of preparation to properly present. Both sold in 2 days. The first received over 22 offers in the first 36 hours! 😲

TESTIMONIALS

 
We worked with Alexis over a year to find our home.Traveling from New York to Florida, Alexis kept us up to date on listings and was always available to us when we were in town. We couldn't have found a better realtor to help us! We are so happy with our new home and can't thank Alexis enough for all her hard work and help. We definitely recommend her!
 
– Sharon
 
 
My wife and I were introduced to Alexis as our buyer's agent when we started our search for a vacation home in the Sarasota/Bradenton Florida area. Alexis listened to what we were looking for and only showed us homes that met our criteria. We found our perfect home in Bradenton and she helped us negotiate an offer that was accepted. Additionally, Alexis helped us through all the painful steps in preparation for closing - home inspections, purchasing reasonably priced home insurance, etc. etc. etc. Nine months later...we're so happy with our new home and glad we got to meet Alexis. We highly recommend her as a realtor.
