Buying a Home On Anna Maria Island

Name a person who wouldn’t want to live on an island in paradise!  I’m sure there are some, but I don’t know many people who don’t take a little vacay to sunny Anna Maria Island and don’t go home kicking and screaming.  My best friend of 23 years got married on Anna Maria which was my very first trip to the island.  At the time, I had no idea a place like this existed in the United States.  It was so amazing.  I felt as if I had left the country and didn’t need a passport. 

I moved to the island VERY shortly after her wedding and still do to this day.  We love it. At the time, we were just boyfriend and girlfriend.  But that grew into marriage and raising our child on the island.  Which we have loved.  There is everything you could need to live and or raise a family on the island.  And for what you need beyond that, it’s a short hop skip and a jump into town.  Many of our friends have chosen that path and some of them actually grew up on the island themselves.

But there are different ways to do it.   I have helped many clients buy homes who do exactly what we did.  They go all in!  We find the perfect home for them to live in year round.  They join the Community Center, sign up for school at Anna Maria Elementary and live the Anna Maria Life 365 days a year.  Most of my clients take a slower path.  I help them find the perfect spot to live for a bunch of time throughout the year and rent it out the rest.  I could give you many more scenarios, but what I want you to understand is that living the Anna Maria Life could be your reality.  Call me and let’s talk about you, your questions and how I can help you figure out what’s best.
