Serving the Florida Suncoast

I am a trained real estate professional with expert marketing, presentation, negotiation, and sales skills. I will work with you to ensure that your property is sold for the highest price possible in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

Raising a son with Autism in this area has given me a unique perspective on the importance of finding a community to meet your individual needs. Manatee/Sarasota and the Southwest Florida area boast some of the most comprehensive medical, educational and therapeutic advantages to benefit a family supporting a member with Autism and related disabilities. I have been deeply involved in many local agencies that reach out to assist families during their diagnosis, continuing throughout adolescence and early adulthood. Due to the vast availability of specialty services in this area, you will find a great deal of community support and acceptance of people living with disabilities.

With the McKay Scholarship and our School Choice program in Florida, many families relocate to our area to benefit from much-needed assistance. I can help you find Autism/disability-friendly therapy programs, restaurants, haircuts, dentists, movie showings, therapeutic play opportunities, and family support groups. This area boasts cutting-edge technology, knowledgeable professionals, and a caring community. If you have any questions or concerns about relocating to this area with a special needs family member, please feel free to contact me to assist you in any way. It takes a BIG village to raise a special needs child!

Community

Thank you for taking a moment to find out a bit more about our growing Lakewood Ranch/Manatee/ Sarasota County area. I look forward to learning about you and your real estate needs should you select me as your Coldwell professional. I assure you I will work tirelessly to make your experience one that is both positive and seemingly effortless.

Living in Manatee County since 1974, I have had many opportunities to watch our community change and grow. It has evolved from a small, waterside town to a well-appointed hub of cultural, professional, social, and municipal services available to its residents and visitors. While offering the best experiences, many larger cities promise, our community has had the good fortune of maintaining its warmth and small-town friendliness.

Having been raised in Manatee County and now raising my own family, I have extensive knowledge of local neighborhoods, schools, and specialty services. As an ambassador to this area, my interest is to introduce you to all it has to offer. The availability of municipal services, cultural opportunities, specialty schools, and community activities creates a place perfect for young families, retiring seniors, or anyone looking to enjoy life at the pace they so choose!

Please contact me with any questions you may have about the Lakewood Ranch/Manatee/Sarasota area and what Coldwell Banker can do to help you achieve your real estate goals. Lora Carpenter at 941-713-0432 or 941-739-6777.
