Ziweslin has worked with some of the finest development teams and partners including Silverstein Properties, GID Development Group, Extell Development Group, The Carlyle Group and ADIA.

Corcoran grows in Florida!

Corcoran Group, LLC today announced its continued expansion in Florida by welcoming its newest affiliate in Sarasota and St. Petersburg, Corcoran Dwellings, led by Liane Jamason and Marc Rasmussen. The announcement, made by Pamela Liebman, President and CEO of The Corcoran Group, is the firm's first affiliate launch of the new year.

From the broad beaches of its barrier islands to the vibrant cultural landscape of its downtown core, Sarasota offers an unparalleled array of opportunities for residents and visitors alike. Just recently, U.S. News and World Report named Sarasota as the best place to retire in 2022. Comparably, St. Petersburg is the 5th largest city in Florida known for its youthful atmosphere, historic homes, and a strong focus on community. 'St. Pete', as it's called among locals, has also been nicknamed the Sunshine City – thanks in part to a Guinness World Record it holds for the longest stretch of sunshine in the country. For all of this and more, both areas are an ideal fit for Corcoran's ever-expanding Florida presence, one of the firm's two home states through brokerage-owned operations.

"I couldn't be happier to kick off this year by welcoming another fantastic firm to grow our presence in Florida – a place near and dear to so many of us at Corcoran," said Liebman. "Sarasota and St. Pete have so much to offer, and now we get to offer our inimitable brand and expertise to clients in the region. Liane and Marc have built something really special together, and I'm pleased that they're continuing that work as Corcoran Dwellings."

Established in 2011, the firm formerly known as Dwell Real Estate was founded in Sarasota by Marc Rasmussen, a veteran Realtor® who had a goal of building a boutique experience for buyers and sellers alike. After successfully recruiting numerous top-of-the-line agents, the firm later opened its second office in late 2016, in St. Petersburg. Three years later, Marc then joined forces with Liane Jamason, who to date has had more than $147 million in lifetime sales. Together, they've crafted an environment based around the utmost agent support and professionalism – one that has resulted in them setting several sales price records in the region. And just last March, Liane closed on the sale of former Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Blake Snell's home.

"We prioritize each client by making them feel like they're our only client with a focus on superior market knowledge, thorough client communication and ethical client advocacy," said Marc Rasmussen, founder and co-owner of Corcoran Dwellings. "We also always want to give our affiliated agents the best resources to take their business to the next level and we prioritize working with like-minded individuals. With a focus on lead generation and technology, our goals align perfectly with the Corcoran brand, and we look forward to being part of the broader Corcoran family."

Purchasing a Property in Florida

Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are renting properties. There are various reasons for this. Many people are unsure what direction their life is going to take and tend to prefer short lets that allow them to move about until they are ready to settle down. It could also be largely down to the price of properties and the cost of living significantly increasing, while salaries remain the same, giving people less opportunity to save cash towards a deposit and afford a property of their own. However, when people do look into buying a property of their own, they tend to purchase something in the state they have grown up in and are familiar with. This makes sense in regards to living near to family and friends and not having to move jobs. But if you’re moving further afield or are planning on investing in real estate for profit, you may find yourself looking at properties in a different state to that which you grew up in. Here are a few steps that you should incorporate into your house hunt when purchasing a property in a different state!

Familiarize Yourself with Local Law

While there are some laws that remain the same throughout every state, more niche and specific laws tend to differ between one state and another. When you purchase a property, there are all sorts of legalities that you need to adhere to. So, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the local property laws of the state you’re interested in. This will help to prevent making mistakes and potentially losing money down the line.

Collaborate with a Local Estate Agent

Using an estate agent local to the area you intend to move to can ensure that you get the first glimpse of new properties being placed on the market in your intended destination. You can discover more about this here!

Conduct a Viewing

Nowadays, increasing numbers of estate agents are advertising their properties online. This makes it much easier to browse properties that lie further afield, as you can simply check through listings and look at pictures of different places that could meet your needs. But it’s extremely important that you make the effort to travel and attend a viewing in person before purchasing a property or handing over any cash in exchange for it. Photographs can be extremely flattering and they can also leave out any unpleasant aspects of a property. A house may look perfect in pictures, but there could be a sewage plant nearby that means the space has an awful smell all of the time, or it may be located next to a train station or busy road, making it a noisy space to live in. You won’t be able to pick up on these things until you actually visit yourself.

Sure, buying any property is a complex and intense process. But this can be amplified when you are purchasing in a different state. Hopefully, the above advice will help you to secure the out-of-state property of your dreams as easily as possible.

Is There More To The State Of Florida Than Meets The Eye? Let’s Discuss

When you think of the Florida in the USA, no matter where you are in the world I guarantee that one thought comes to mind first, and that will be likely to be Disney related thanks to the amazing parks in Orlando. While this is an amazing location and whether you go with friends, as a couple or with your family you are bound to have an amazing time in Orlando, there is more to Florida than just roller coasters and water parks. I wanted to share with you some of the other aspects of Florida that is exciting and could entice you to go back time and time again.

Different locations to explore

So I have already mentioned that Florida is possible more well known for Orlando. The home of Disney world and universal studios, but there are so many great locations in Florida that are definitely worth seeing. Miami, to start with, is a vibrant and culturally diverse city. With Cuban influences this place really doe have it all. Colonial architecture an amazing beach, and fabulous bars and restaurants to enjoy. You can also find plenty of hotel rooms in Miami, Florida that will suit your needs and your budgets. Other locations to consider visiting would be Tampa, Key West, The Florida Keys, Naples and clearwater, to name a few.

More things to do

There is more to do in Florida than enjoying the endless water parks and themed roller coasters I can assure you. The first thing to consider would be the Everglades National Park. Here you can explore some of the most diverse landscape and witness some amazing wildlife. There is also the beautiful Anna Maria Island, The dry Tortugas National park full of wonderful coral reefs to explore and heading to the Southern tip where you are literally only 90 miles away from Cuba. Having said that, others do see Florida as the perfect place to head over to Cuba for a few days with a different vibe.

Amazing Real Estate

As well as it being an international tourist destination with year-round sunshine, Florida has one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, and this is only expected to grow. According to a news release from WFLA Channel 8 in Tampa, between now and April 1, 2024, the population of Florida is expected to grow by an average of 906 new residents per day. 

There are also some hot areas in Florida that these new residents will be flocking to; Naples with its luxury homes which according to Shannon’s site are found on Naples beaches and waterways and luxury golf course communities. Then there is Jacksonville, which is ranked #3 for the best cities in the US for jobs and Tallahassee which boasts comparatively low local taxes and beautiful state parks and wildlife.

Some of the best beaches in the world

Would you believe that Florida has some of the best beaches in the world? It is true, the likes of clearwater bay and South beach regularly are high on the lists of some of the best beaches around. There is also the smaller town of Fort Lauderdale, that offers a beautiful beach perfect for family strolls and watching the world go by. If beaches are your thing, then Florida has bags of potential for many holidays to come in the future.

Great weather

The weather is always going to be good in Florida, however there are more chances of rain during certain times of the year, miami has a rainy season from June through to October but offers warmth with humidity, you may find that the best times to travel would be November through to May, with decent temperatures ideal for exploring.

I hope this has given you some incentive to try out other areas in Florida.
