Coastal Lifestyle Intro Tour
Spend A Few Days Previewing Sarasota Neighborhoods While Experiencing Our Coastal Lifestyle
COASTAL LIFESTYLE INTRO
3-Day/2-Night Sarasota Relocation Tour
The Coastal Lifestyle Intro is our three-day, two-night Sarasota relocation preview, a relaxed introduction to the Gulf Coast lifestyle, the neighborhoods that define it, and the everyday rhythm of life in Sarasota County. You arrange your own travel and hotel, and we handle everything else. It's designed for out-of-state buyers, snowbirds, and retirees who want to experience the area firsthand before beginning a full home search.
We'll meet you in person on arrival with your printed Welcome Packet and a $100 dining gift card for your first dinner on the coast. Over the next two days, you'll tour Siesta Key and Siesta Key Beach, downtown Sarasota, and a curated drive through the county's most sought-after neighborhoods, from Lakewood Ranch and Palmer Ranch to the coastal communities along the Gulf. We'll focus on the areas that match your goals, whether that's a waterfront enclave, Gulf-access property, a maintenance-free condo tower, a golf community, or a retirement village.
Relocating involves more than choosing a neighborhood, so we also cover the practical side. That means Florida property taxes, the Homestead Exemption and Save Our Homes assessment cap, hurricane and flood insurance, wind mitigation, HOA and condo association considerations, cost of living, and the real differences between the barrier islands and mainland communities.
What's Included In Your COASTAL LIFESTYLE INTRO Relocation Tour
Our team fully coordinates your three-day, two-night Coastal Lifestyle Intro. You handle your travel and hotel, and we handle everything else, including a personal relocation consultation, a guided introduction to neighborhoods that fit your goals and budget, and practical guidance to help you buy with confidence. Each tour is shaped around your timeline and priorities, so no two look the same.
Add-on experiences are also available, including boating, dining, golf, beach, and outdoor activities. Please tell us what appeals to you, and we'll schedule it during your relocation consultation.
Who The COASTAL LIFESTYLE INTRO Tour Is For
This tour is ideal for out-of-state buyers exploring a move to Florida, snowbirds searching for a seasonal Gulf Coast escape, retirees relocating to Sarasota, and anyone considering Siesta Key real estate, waterfront and beachfront homes, or vacation properties in Sarasota County. It's the lowest-pressure way to find out whether the coastal lifestyle fits, and if it does, you'll already have a local team that knows exactly what you're looking for.

COASTAL LIFESTYLE INTRO Reservation & Reimbursement
The Coastal Lifestyle Intro is $350 per family. You book your own travel and accommodations, and we handle the rest, including a personal relocation consultation, a guided introduction to the neighborhoods that fit your goals and budget, a firsthand look at Siesta Key and its beach, downtown Sarasota, and a curated drive through communities from Lakewood Ranch and Palmer Ranch to the coastal enclaves along the Gulf. We'll walk you through the practical side as well, covering Florida property taxes, the Homestead Exemption and Save Our Homes cap, hurricane and flood insurance, HOA and condo considerations, cost of living, and the real differences between the barrier islands and the mainland. We also coordinate every add-on experience you choose.
We'll meet you in person on arrival with your printed Welcome Packet and a $100 dining gift card, yours to use at any restaurant you choose for your first dinner on the coast.
The tour is built to be your one in-depth look at the area, so once you've seen the neighborhoods and gotten a feel for the community, there's no need to repeat it. When you're ready, you come back and we start viewing homes, and when you purchase through Florida Real Estate Places we credit your $350 tour fee back to you at closing.
PLEASE NOTE: the tour-fee credit applies only to a purchase closed through our team. If the transaction does not close, or if you purchase through another brokerage, the tour fee is not refunded.
Live the Florida coastal lifestyle and buy where others vacation.
Come Experience It Yourself
Photos and descriptions can only tell part of the story. The way the air feels in the evening, the sound of the Gulf at night, the way a neighborhood feels when you're standing in it instead of looking at it on a screen, that part you have to experience firsthand.
That's why we built three broker-led Sarasota relocation preview experiences, each one shaped around your interests, your timeline, and the home you're picturing, so no two previews look alike.
COASTAL LIFESTYLE INTRO
(The 3-Day/2-Night Lifestyle Sneak Peek)
The starting point. A relaxed introduction to Sarasota's Gulf Coast for buyers who are still in the "could this be home?" stage. A focused first look at the neighborhoods, the lifestyle, and the rhythm of life here enough to know whether the rest of the story belongs in your future. The $350 tour fee per family is credited back at closing when you buy through our team.
COASTAL HOMES PREVIEW
(The 5-Day/4-Night Immersive Viewing Event)
The middle path, and our most popular. This tour is designed for buyers who've already felt the pull and want to spend meaningful time inside Gulf Coast living, exploring more neighborhoods, actually previewing a few homes, and shifting from "could this be home?" to "what would home here actually look like?" The $650 tour fee per family is credited back at closing when you buy through our team.
GULF COAST LIFESTYLE
(The 8-Day/7-Night Signature Experience)
The full immersion. A week designed for buyers seriously planning their move, with a comprehensive look across multiple communities and price points, in-depth property previews, deeper consultation, and the time to truly live a piece of the life you're considering before you commit to it. The $950 tour fee per family is credited back at closing when you buy through our team.
