Meet Rob

• 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.

• How should I evaluate offers?

Beyond price, Rob will help you compare financing type, contingencies, inspection timelines, buyer qualifications, and closing flexibility to pick the strongest overall offer.

• Do you help with staging and improvements?

Yes. Rob offers advice on decluttering, cosmetic updates, and staging strategies that yield strong buyer interest. He can recommend local stagers, photographers, and contractors.

• What areas do you serve?

Rob primarily serves Sarasota and nearby communities. He can provide neighborhood data on schools, amenities, HOA info, and recent market activity to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions.

• How do you handle showings and open houses?

Showings are coordinated to be convenient and safe; Rob uses secure scheduling, and encourages best practices for staging and privacy. Open houses are used selectively based on strategy and property type.
