Top 10 Reasons to List Your Home
with the Toscana Sales Team

If you are thinking of selling your property this season at Toscana, and are not listed at this time…….we need your listing.  Put our team to work and watch what happens!  Our momentum remained heightened all summer and continues now to finish the year strong.  Call us today for a Comparative Market Analysis of your property.  It would be our pleasure to represent you in the sale of your Toscana property.

  1. The Toscana Sales Team generates the highest sales volume in Toscana Country Club with over $50,000,000 of the $57,000,000 sold so far in 2011 which far exceeds the next highest broker’s total of  $5,200,000. We have been the consistent and overwhelming leader in sales volume per year since the community opened in 2003.
  2. Listing your home with the Toscana Sales Team ensures that your home can be shown to ALL prospective purchasers. Approximately 40% of the prospective purchasers visiting the Sales Center and viewing homes at Toscana are represented by an outside broker. The Toscana Sales Team can't show them any Toscana homes listed by outside brokers.
  3. We have a full time marketing department located in the Sales Center that promotes your listing through a multi-faceted advertising campaign that reaches our target United States and international markets. The campaign features print advertising, events, a comprehensive public relations campaign, online, social media, Member referral programs, direct mail and regular email communication to all Members, prospective purchasers and Realtors.

  5. Open seven days a week, the Toscana Sales Center has attracted and toured over 3,500 prospective homebuyers and outside brokers to Toscana Country Club this year through November.  No other general brokerage operation has this kind of targeted volume of interested buyers for property at Toscana. 
  6. Our integrity, energy and passion is committed to the long term success of the community and it is our objective to keep the values of all the homes at their highest potential. We only sell homes and homesites in Toscana and do not sell outside of the community which allows us to focus solely on the properties in Toscana. 
  7. We are the Toscana Experts and have been onsite since the opening of Toscana in 2003.  We have first-hand knowledge of each and every aspect of Toscana including the Club amenities and membership programs.
  8. We have detailed knowledge of each sales transaction and the overall community history which helps us guide our sellers in getting the best possible result.
  9. We have the full support of the entire Toscana and Sunrise team from the Director of Warranty Service to the Director of Golf, to the Spa and Sports Club Director and we have direct access for prospective purchasers to experience all of the Club amenities – golf course, spa and sports club, dining and social events.
