JOSEPH MCDONALD

As a Florida native, I know first-hand how special it is to call the Gulf Coast home. Sarasota can be characterized as place where culture meets diversity surrounded by enormous beauty and a thriving energy. I enjoy introducing the area to clients, educating them, and sharing my experience of what it is like to be born, raised, and live in such a culturally rich community.

MY ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT was sparked by an early background in the hospitality industry and four start-up businesses that took me to other states. Living away for a period of time helped me to even more appreciate Sarasota, as my heart was always drawn back to my home town. My love of SRQ, coupled with my business experience and skills, led me to pursue a career in real estate after moving back to the area.

Being known for genuine service, honesty, reliability, customer service, and a passion for real estate earned me the distinction of being voted one of “Sarasota’s Top 10 Realtors” by SRQ Magazine. Multiple years as a sales agent has taught me that providing first-class service to my clients in order to find the best fit for their needs is not just a goal– it’s a requirement. Prior experience with Premier Sotheby’s and Neal Communities, where I specialized in new construction, eventually led me to Michael Saunders and Company. In addition to general residential sales, I recently joined MSC New Homes and Condominiums as sales associate for Risdon on 5th – a premier condo development in the Historic Rosemary District. This unique opportunity allows me to work with all clients–buyers, re-sale and new construction. My home is located in Gillespie Park where I enjoy downtown offerings of arts, dining, and community events in addition to volunteering and giving back to this wonderful community we call home.

MSC MISSION STATEMENT “Michael Saunders & Company is a full-service real estate organization dedicated to a long-standing tradition of excellence, professionalism and integrity with a focus on delivering an exceptional real estate experience to all stakeholders.” Nowhere but here, no one but you.
