The Legend Continues ...
A $5 Billion Success Story Created by a lady named Michael. Wondrous homes, luxurious condominiums, fabulous resorts, prestigious commercial properties, new developments, corporate and property management services, the finest real estate agents, exclusive affiliations and unmatched reputation and integrity ... This is Michael Saunders & Company.
When one thinks of real estate on Florida's Gulf Coast, Michael Saunders & Company immediately comes to mind. Established more than two decades ago by founder and president Michael Saunders as the first brokerage firm specializing in the luxury waterfront market, the company is now the preeminent real estate agency on Florida's Gulf Coast.
It all began with a vision -- an intelligent foresight, part intuition, part perception, characterized by a sense of adventure, imagination and idealism. Founded in 1976, one small office, devoted to marketing luxury waterfront properties, grew to 16 full-service real estate offices with more than 400 associates, serving an area from Anna Maria Island to Englewood.
Michael Saunders & Company is now the largest independently-owned real estate company in the region.
Innovative advertising, promotions, public relations, positioning and targeted publications help keep Michael Saunders & Company at the forefront of local real estate firms, with $1 billion in transactions for 1999. The campaigns, budgeted annually at $1.75 million, appear in local, state, national and international media, plus the Internet. These marketing efforts have built strong buyer recognition by focusing the spotlight on the properties, company and associates.
Exclusive affiliations with Leading Estates of the World, one of the leading worldwide marketer of unique luxury properties, plus affiliation with RELO, Relocation Network, allow the company to reach and promote properties to the wealthiest customer base.
