Rob Krasow: Sarasota's Real Estate Dynamo

Rob Krasow isn't just a real estate professional; he's a relationship builder, a results-driven force in Sarasota's competitive market.  Trust and results—the cornerstones of his success—are woven into the fabric of his career.  For eight years, he's dominated the Florida real estate scene with Michael Saunders and Company, achieving multi-million-dollar sales year after year at their flagship downtown Sarasota office. His unwavering commitment to exceptional service is reflected in his consistent Master's and President's Awards.  Rob doesn't just sell properties; he delivers exceptional, personalized experiences, guiding clients every step of the way to find their dream homes.

His journey to real estate success is as compelling as his results.  A BA in Spanish Literature and Linguistics from the University of Lynchburg fueled a passion for global cultures and international business.  Post-graduation, he shared that passion, teaching high school Spanish.  A Connecticut native with a worldly perspective, Rob possesses an innate ability to connect with people at a genuine level.

This ability has served him well throughout his diverse career.  He built a foundation in business development, navigating the complexities of education, translation & cultural consulting, automotive, and fitness industries.  His entrepreneurial spirit shone through in 2006, when he launched his own management consulting firm, BDCinMotion.  His move to the automotive industry in 2010 as Director of Business Development for major Greater Boston retailers further honed his skills.

Eight years ago, Rob made a pivotal life change, relocating to Sarasota and channeling his considerable talents into the real estate world. His journey reflects a relentless pursuit of success, built on a foundation of integrity, expertise, and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their real estate aspirations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is Rob Krasow?

Rob Krasow is a licensed Realtor with Michael Saunders & Company serving Sarasota and surrounding communities. He specializes in residential sales, listings, and guiding buyers through the local market with a focus on personalized service and strong client results.

  • How do I get started buying a home?

Start by contacting Rob to discuss your needs and priorities. He’ll help you get pre-approved (or connect you with lenders), set a search plan, and schedule showings. Pre‑approval strengthens offers and speeds the process.

  • Do you work with first‑time buyers?

Yes. Rob walks first‑time buyers through each step—financing options, inspections, contingencies, and closing—so you feel confident from offer to keys.

  • Can you help with financing and lenders?

Absolutely. Rob can recommend trusted local lenders and mortgage brokers, explain loan types (conventional, FHA, VA, USDA), and help you understand costs and timelines.

  • What’s the first step to selling my home?

Contact Rob for a market consultation. He’ll provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), discuss timing, and recommend pricing and preparations to maximize value.

  • How do you price homes?

Rob analyzes recent comparable sales, current active listings, neighborhood trends, and home condition to recommend a competitive price that meets your goals.

  • What is your marketing plan for listings?

Rob uses a multi-channel marketing strategy: professional photography, MLS syndication, targeted social media, email campaigns to an active buyer network, open houses (as appropriate), and Michael Saunders & Company’s luxury marketing resources.

  • How long does it take to buy or sell?

Timelines vary. For sellers, an accurate price and good presentation can lead to faster offers; average closing periods depend on financing and inspections (typically 30–60 days after accepted offer). Rob will give a personalized timeline based on your situation.

  • What if the buyer requests repairs?

Negotiations about repairs are handled case-by-case. Sellers can make repairs, offer credits, or adjust price. If VA financing is involved, Rob can explain VA repair requirements and limits (including how addenda like capped repair allowances work).

  • Will I need to disclose issues with my home?

Yes. Sellers must complete all required disclosures accurately. Rob will guide you through local disclosure requirements to help avoid surprises.

  • What are your fees/commission?

Commission structures vary; Rob will provide details during your listing consultation and explain how marketing and agent cooperation are included. Net proceeds depend on price, repairs, closing costs, and agreed commission.
