This letter is to recommend Deborah O’Mara, a very highly successful, smart and able Neal home professional for ten years (2000-2010).

Deborah sold for us in a number of communities (Gleneagles, siena, silverwood, Greystone and wherever we needed her) and she was great!

With her knowledge and experience in the arena of new construction, she would be a great value to buyers in selecting a homesite and assisting them through the process of building a new home. i recommend Deborah as one of the Queens of lakewood Ranch.

Deborah O'Mara is unflaggingly optimistic when it comes to the luxury home market.O'Mara, a real estate agent with the Lakewood Ranch office of Michael Saunders & Company, has every reason to be upbeat. she's sold about $30 million in residential real estate this year and capped her November about a week ago by holding a contender for the mother of all open houses this year at a $3 million tuscany-themed mansion at 19429 Ganton avenue in the Concession.

it was easy to forget the event was intended to sell the 7,000 square foot house as quickly as possible. there were drinks and hors d'oeuvres for the crowd of real estate agents, lenders and other industry guests who spent a couple lunchtime hours touring the home and being serenaded by a sinatra-styled vocalist. Sarasota restaurateur and chef Paul Mattison was also on hand to demonstrate how to make Bananas foster in the home's poolside kitchen.

that's right, a poolside kitchen.

On the market for the first time since it was built in 2010, the house could notch one of the larger single family sales in Manatee County this year if it sells for its $2.998 million asking price. But its price point is hardly unique.

so far in 2014, 102 $1 million-plus single family properties have sold in Manatee County, with the top sale hitting $3.2 million, according to Multiple Listing Service data. Sarasota County has seen the same trend, only more so, with 383 properties in that price category selling. the most expensive home sold in sarasota County so far in 2014 went for $11.85 million.

Big money sales are or soon will be well ahead of last year. in all of 2013, 365 million-dollar properties sold in sarasota County. In Manatee County, the total was 122. With December being the busiest closing month of the year, the 2014 numbers are expected to grow substantially.

Demand for high-end homes is high, in part due to good publicity. sarasota was recently ranked as one of 10 "jewel box" communities in the world by Christie's international Real estate. as a "jewel box," sarasota is classed with cities including Jackson Hole and Martha's Vineyard that attract the wealthy.

This is good news for O'Mara, who said even dozens of still-undeveloped home sites available at The Concession in East Manatee won't be enough to slake the desire for expensive homes. it won't be long, she said, until the current crop of luxury communities, including the Concession and the lake Club in lakewood Ranch, sell out. "We're looking to the next development," she said.

O'Mara's boss, Michael Saunders, agrees. speaking during the open house, saunders said 2014 has brought a 33 percent increase in sales of homes in the $3 million-plus category between Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte counties. inventory in the $1-million-plus range in those counties is at about 16 months, down from 55 months seven years ago.

the roughly 800 millionaire homes still for sale may become a more endangered species in the coming year. saunders said new high-end inventory isn't going up quickly enough to make up for the sales of existing big-ticket homes. that could put buyers coming to Manatee-Sarasota in the same situation they would be most anywhere else."in 80 percent of our feeder markets, there's a shortage of inventory," she said.

Where the next new homes will be built -- particularly in Manatee County -- is not entirely clear. the highest-demand areas, the islands and waterfront in Manatee and sarasota counties, largely lack open land. away from the water, the Concession is about as far east as high-end development has gone to this point. that development has notched more than 40 sales in 2014.

Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, the master developer of lakewood Ranch, holds a large share of land east of its newest neighborhoods, but has not announced any new million-dollar neighborhoods beyond the lake Club. Jimmy Stewart, vice president of sales for SMR, said the master developer isn't in a big hurry to open a new luxury neighborhood. He said the lake Club has a four-year inventory remaining. Country Club east, another lakewood Ranch neighborhood with homes priced up to $1 million, also has available lots. Still, SMR isn't going to rest on its laurels. "We'll be taking a look at that in the next year," stewart said.

After completing our research, we selected Deb O’Mara to list our

property, and quickly learned she is as good as advertised…. a sold

property in 30 days at a great sales price.

they often say there is no substitute for experience, and Deb

O’Mara is a perfect example. Deb took care of everything in the

sales process, and was especially effective in the negotiation of the

I first met Cathy and Roger when I sold them their home in Greystone in 2008. a couple of years later, they contacted me to list and market their home and we had a signed contract in less than two weeks. they were thrilled because i was able to negotiate a great price that included a separate agreement for furnishings. this meant they needed to move.

the Converys ultimately decided to purchase in Downtown sarasota and i sold them a condominium at the Ritz-Carlton tower Residences.

January 9, 2013

Dear Deborah,

i wanted to take the time to tell you how much Roger and i appreciated your “can do” attitude regarding listing and selling our home in Greystone. We knew listing with you would be the right thing to do because of your knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm, but we never expected you to in fact bring the buyer in and actually sell our home for us as well. We were impressed that you sold it in just two weeks and at a very fair price. We appreciate that representing both parties can be complicated, and as we expected, you did it very professionally and seamlessly.

We also wanted to thank you for helping us find our new home at the Ritz, and i know it took us over 6 months to settle on something, but you never wavered regarding your concern for our welfare. Deb, feel free to use us as a referral in the future for any of your business dealings. You are the consummate professional.

in selling our condominium in Boca Grove, we found Deborah

O'Mara to be professional and helpful in all matters from A to Z.

she advised us on how to stage our condominium to highlight its

best features. she kept us promptly informed on all prospective

buyers' visits and offers. When we needed to fix a few things,

Deborah recommended an experienced handyman and supervised

the work since we were out of town at the time. she was also very

helpful on several other matters.

Frankly, we can't say enough good things about Deborah. Suffice it

to say that we still own a house in lakewood Ranch. if and when we

decide to sell it, we are going straight to Deborah O'Mara at Michael

Dear Ms. Saunders:

i am sorry i have not written to you sooner. By way of background,

I am a Partner at Skoda Minotti & Co. and was referred to you by Brian

Leidel at our Tampa office. You connected us with Deb O'Mara to

assist us in locating a property in lakewood Ranch for my family.

the purpose of this letter is to let you know that Deb was the absolute

best real estate professional i have ever had the privilege of knowing.

Deb found a perfect property for my family and assisted us in all stages

of search, negotiation, and closing. Deb always went above and beyond

including assisting us with our auto delivery when the transport vehicle

arrived a day early and we were still in transit. Deb arranged for her

husband – Charles – to meet the transport vehicle and he was kind

enough to leave our vehicle in our garage for our arrival. amazing

service! Nothing stresses Deb and she handled every phase of our

transaction with true professionalism.

i consider Deb a personal friend now and that is the highest

compliment in my opinion. in my business, personal relationships are

critical to your long-term success. as a business owner, you should

be extremely satisfied to know you have representatives like Deb

contributing to the great relationship you have developed for Michael

saunders & Company!

thank you again for the referral and i look forward to meeting you in

the future.

"We were making a very long distance move and were not sure if we wanted to buy or build in lakewood Ranch. after much research, we concluded that based on the recommendations of others regarding Deborah O'Mara, combined with her extensive background in selling hundreds of new homes in the area where we wanted to live, that she would be the best person to work with. after initially working with Deb, we realized that we found exactly the right person. Although Deb is consistently the top realtor for Michael Saunders, she always had the time and knowledge to answer all of our questions with a very timely 100% follow through.

We could tell that Deb really cares and looks out for her clients, and has been helpful in so many ways. she was tireless in showing us many neighborhoods and individual homes on the market in a very organized fashion. Deb ended up helping to find our dream area to build our new home and was instrumental in guiding our desires to a blueprint as well assisting us in finding the right builder. She by far exceeded our expectations, and we really like her as a person."

When i found the new listing at 6:00am on a sunday morning and called you before you got out of bed, you immediately sprung into action and had an appointment scheduled for 8:00am that same morning. You cancelled your personal plans and spent the day putting the deal together for us. You were there for every inspection and called to follow up on every issue.

January 28, 2013

let us tell you about our Realtor and why we were so fortunate to have

found Deborah O’Mara. She listened to what was important to us and

to what we felt we could afford. as we were not familiar with the area,

she began by giving us a tour of the area. she explained the different

communities within lakewood Ranch and which ones she felt would best

fit our needs. Deborah was always realistic, showing us homes that had

our desired features, yet keeping us within our budget. We never felt any

pressure. Deborah was always more interested in how we felt about a

house, our pros and cons, in order to help in our search.

We planned to return to lakewood Ranch to continue our search if

we needed, and i remember so well Deborah saying to us on several

occasions, “If we don’t find something you like, don’t worry, when you

return, we will keep looking. New listings are always becoming available.”

Prior to leaving, she showed us some models in Country Club east that

could be constructed. We found a model with the exact features we had

hoped for. Because Deborah’s experience included working for a major

builder in lakewood Ranch, she was able to help us review our contract.

she helped us with construction negotiations and acted as our advocate

during the process.

Because we were out of state, she recommended that we consider using

a title company and hiring an inspector to watch over the process for us.

We followed her suggestions and they proved to be in our best interests.

When looking at lots, she had the foresight to bring to our attention

some invaluable details that would not have been apparent to us.

today, we appreciate our view as much as we do our home. Deborah was

a trusted advisor, she was loyal to us as a salesperson, and we are proud

to call her our friend.

three words that come to mind when thinking of Deborah are

Knowledge, Competence and trust.

We contracted with Deb O’Mara to both find a condo and sell our house. in both areas, she excelled and more than met our expectations. she found a great condo in our price range that we love, and was on top of every step in the purchasing process.

Then came the more difficult challenge, selling our house. She was fantastic in every step, including staging, pricing, marketing, contract negotiations, and finally closing. She was very professional, a great communicator, provided valuable advice and ensured numerous agents showed our house. as a result, the sale took only weeks without a hitch.

We always felt as though we received more than our share of Deb’s time and effort. We were very impressed with her communication skills, her knowledge of the market and her attention to detail. One would be hard pressed to find a real estate agent better than or as good as Deb.

Judy and Don Capelli

Don and Judy Capelli asked me to help them find the right home in The Country Club at lakewood Ranch. We searched for a few months and then one of the agents in my Michael Saunders office told me about a new Country Club listing he was putting into MLS, and did i have anyone that might be interested?

The criteria fit and I immediately contacted the Capelli's and they loved it, and it is now their new home. i listed their former lakewood Ranch home immediately, and personally sold it within 8 days.

everybody's happy!

My dear Deb & Charlie,

Having been in real estate for 30+ years, i feel i can readily tell the good agents from the 'not so good' agents and you two are part of the best group! it has been an extreme pleasure working with such professionals. You are so good at returning calls, texts and emails even though we know your mind is full of 'what to do next' with all the properties and clients you have in your care. No wonder you are so successful and well liked and respected!

You do an amazing job! the silver piece you gave us is just too nice! You didn't need to get us anything at all because the great job you did keeping everything together was gift enough! i can't wait to have you and Charlie come over and see it placed prominently in a place of honor for everyone to see as they come in! We love it!!

thanks again for a job VeRY well done and rest assured that your name will be the first we mention if anyone asks for a good Realtor!Hugs to you both!!

Deborah O’Mara has been a wonderful find for us in locating

homes in Lakewood Ranch. From the first time that we met her,

we both felt comfortable that she would be able to help us find

the right home. We’ve purchased two homes from Deborah and

have had a glorious experience both times. Now she is selling one

of those houses and we both feel good about it.

We had worked with another Realtor who kept showing us

houses that we didn’t want or couldn’t afford. Deborah took the

time to listen to our needs and was able to find us the right home.

Bloomfield, Connecticut

I sold Marjorie and Jerry their second home in stoneridge in 2010. they loved florida so much, they decided to search for a larger home they could live in year round. i had a listing that was ideal for them. i showed it to them and they purchased it on the spot.

the longs wanted to sell their existing home, so i listed and marketed the property. it sold in a timely fashion, allowing them a smooth transition from stoneridge to Greystone. everything worked out perfectly.
