On a tour of the Korina model in the Lake Club, I was walking with the man himself, Lakewood Ranch builder John Cannon, when we started talking about what got him started in the industry.

The 2019 Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association Parade of Homes begins Saturday and continues through March 10. Good luck viewing all...
Thank you LWR/SMR for the mention in the "A conversation with John Clarke":
When the housing market started perking up in 1993, SMR had already lined up its first builders.

Venice Mansion sets real estate sales record
Multimillion-dollar homes abound in Sarasota County — hundreds and hundreds, by Zillow’s

Records are tough to top, too. This one is notable for its location where sales of high-end
