Siesta Key Condos

Harbour Towne condos, Siesta Key FLHad an interesting email from someone interested in Siesta Key condos a few days ago. They wondered why a listing in the Sarasota MLS had a waterfront picture but the MLS sheet did not state that the property was on the water. In this partiular instance the Sarasota real estate agent who listed the property was correct. The particular unit listed was NOT waterfront although the Siesta Key condo complex was definitely waterfront property with a private beach which was pictured. If you have any questions when searching for a Siesta Key condo or any Sarasota property, please email us. We are happy to answer your questions.

Keep in mind that if you have a long list of questions, it may take us some time to research your answers. We are a part of the Mid-Florida Regional MLS and all the properties that you view on the web are not neccesarily our listings.
