Book my free callJulie Giancola, REALTOR® · eXp Realty.
For anyone buying in Sarasota, from Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch down to Venice: a home to live in, a winter home or an investment.
What we'll cover in 15 minutes
What your range buys
What homes in your price range look like in the areas you like, and what similar homes actually sold for.
The true monthly cost
Taxes at your price, insurance, flood, HOA and CDD fees. In Florida, two homes at the same price can be hundreds of dollars a month apart.
Your next steps
Talking to a lender, how working together works, and what to check before you write an offer.
I'm a REALTOR®, not a lender, so loan questions go to your lender. I'll help with everything that comes with the home.

Who you'll talk to
Communication is my background, and it's how I run every deal.
I'm Julie Giancola, a REALTOR® with eXp Realty. I've lived in Sarasota for five years and work from Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch down to Venice.
- I've bought and sold 5 homes of my own, so I know what it's like to sign those papers. As an investor, I learned to look at every home by its numbers, so you'll get a straight answer on price and on the costs people don't see coming.
- I'm with eXp Realty, so if you're coming from up north or moving on, I can connect you with a trusted agent wherever you're headed.
- I'm a numbers person. If a home is overpriced, I'll tell you straight. If I don't know something, I'll find out fast.
Expect a prompt, personal reply from me, never a call center.
Questions
Is the call really free?
Yes. No cost and no obligation. If it's a fit, we'll talk about next steps. If not, you'll still leave with your numbers.
Do I have to sign anything?
Not for this call. Since August 2024, agents need a written agreement with you before you tour homes together. If we get there, I'll walk you through it in plain English first.
How are you paid?
It's spelled out in our written agreement and fully negotiable. Sellers sometimes cover part or all of it. I'll explain your options on the call, straight.
I live out of state. Can we still talk?
Of course. Many of my buyers start from up north. We'll talk by phone, and I can send you homes and numbers before you ever fly down.
What if I just want to look around first?
That's fine. Search homes for sale, or get the free buyer's guide and call me when you're ready.
