Florida’s Highest -Achieving Real Estate Pro
It’s easy to see why prospective homebuyers are attracted to the upscale homes for sale in Sarasota and nearby communities. Boating, golf, tennis, museums, dining, 35 miles of dazzling beaches on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, and the many splendid luxury homes for sale in Sarasota combine to make the area’s appeal almost overwhelming. And this is a great time to buy luxury real estate in Sarasota. Interest rates remain at historic lows, and although the housing inventory is dropping, a variety of attractive upscale properties are still available in most Sarasota communities. The economic indicators are positive.
Whether you’re investing, relocating, retiring, or buying a second home or vacation home, once you’ve made the decision to buy a luxury home in the Sarasota area, you’ll need an Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA), someone who works exclusively for you, someone who is an expert on the Sarasota market, and someone who will walk you through each stage of the homebuying process. In today’s market, having an EBA on your team is imperative.
You’ll also want an agent with the appropriate professional designations and certifications. Professional designations and certifications recognize both advanced professional training as well as hands-on experience and performance. Designations and certifications tell you that a real estate agent is a seasoned professional dedicated to increasing his or her professional expertise and experience. That’s what you want — the kind of agent who can give you the advantage.
All About William True
There’s plenty to learn. Industry transformations in the last 2 decades have been ground-breaking; better real estate agents are always relearning and retraining to stay competitive and to offer superior expertise and services to customers. Realtors have a range of high-tech tools that weren’t available twenty years ago, and mastering these tools is imperative. The historic housing crisis, and the new higher percentage of bank-owned and underwater properties, require additional training for agents. Globalization in the last two decades has created new educational needs as well as new learning opportunities.
Sarasota’s William True of True Sarasota Real Estate has stayed on top. He was recognized in 2011 on the cover of Sarasota REALTOR® Magazine for having more certifications and designations than any other Florida real estate agent. True is one of the nation’s top earners of designations, recently adding a CLHMS designation, making him a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. True’s other designations and certifications include: Graduate Realtors® Institute (GRI), Certified New Home Specialist (CNHS), Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Short Sales & Foreclosures Resource (SFR), GREEN Designation, Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Broker Price Opinion Resource (BPOR), Accredited Buyer Representative Manager (ABRM), At Home With Diversity (AHWD), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Transnational Referral Certification (TRC), Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager (CRB), Residential Construction Certified™ (RCC), Resort & Second Home Property Specialist (RSPS), e-PRO Certification, and Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES).
Measured against his peers, William True’s professional achievements are extraordinary: Only 13% of real estate agents have the ABR; fewer than 1% have the ABRM; only 3% have the CRB; only 10% have the CRS; and only one in ten are members of the Real Estate Buyer Agents Council (REBAC). None of these designations represent “required” continuing education; rather they represent a determined, voluntary commitment to offer homebuyers superlative expertise and service.
True is committed to ongoing professional education in order to provide the highest quality assistance to homebuyers and real estate investors in Sarasota. He encourages his team to go above and beyond in developing and updating real estate skills and expertise.
