Why Bob Recommends Mark
When a South Jersey family tells me they are moving to the Sarasota area, Mark Swanson is the agent I hand them to. He works with Michael Saunders & Company out of the St. Armands Circle office, which means he knows the Sarasota waterfront market at a professional level, and he is part of the Souza-Swanson Group with his wife Marie Souza, a top-selling Cape Cod broker, so he genuinely understands what a long-distance move asks of a family. With about nine years in the business and a specialty in waterfront communities like Lido Key, St. Armands, and Bird Key, he pairs deep Sarasota knowledge with honest, patient guidance. I have personally vetted Mark, and I am glad to introduce you to him for your move to Sarasota.
