Company: Susan Goldstein has facilitated transactions across Sarasota and Manatee counties for more than 15 years, totaling over $100 million. In the Sarasota area, an influx of new residents moving from other parts of the country is driving some commercial real estate activity. “Fundamentally the economics are those new residents need new services that are filled by commercial real estate,” says Goldstein. “Our market dynamics are very different than the global market. The strong residential market is the basis of our strong commercial market.”
