We toured six homes in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, and eliminated for almost immediately🏡
Not because of the kitchens, bathrooms, or floorplans.
❌ one didn’t allow the fence my buyers needed for their dog.
❌ one had an older roof that raised concerns.
❌ one had HOA fees that didn’t make sense for their lifestyle.
❌ one simply wasn’t in the right location.
These are things you don’t always discover scrolling through Zillow from another state.
If you were planning to move to Lakewood Ranch or Sarasota, Florida, know what to look for before you fall in love with a home, you can save your time, money and disappointment.
