DWELL Real Estate
Like the genesis of so many successful businesses, DWELL Real Estate began with a vision. The vision was simple: to fulfill a need within the Sarasota real estate marketplace. Buyers and seller would no longer have to be represented by larger, impersonal national franchises but by a locally-owned real estate boutique that is dedicated to providing world-class service and marketing.
Since 2000, Broker/Owner Marc Rasmussen has been associated with three of Sarasota's top real estate brokerages - RE/MAX Alliance, SKY Sotheby's International Realty and Michael Saunders and Company. Marc consistently finished in the top 10% in sales among all Realtors in the Sarasota market. During his time with all three brokerages, Marc developed a keen methodology for marketing properties, a vast knowledge of the local real estate market and the priceless skill of assisting buyers find their dream home.
Early in his career, Marc had somewhat of an epiphany on how the internet was going to transform the real estate industry. He realized that the days of large-print MLS books were numbered and that the home search would move to the web. Home buyers would be empowered with everything at their fingertips via the internet. From this point on Marc became one of Sarasota's internet marketing pioneers. Today his website receives hundreds of thousands of visitors a year.
From 2006 to 2011 the Sarasota real estate landscape changed. Plummeting home prices, shrinking commissions and an uncertain economy caused many over leveraged brokers to fall. Consumers are left with fewer choices of larger, national real estate franchises that can lack a personalized touch.
Marc Rasmussen, Shayla Twit, Allison Werner and Karin Swanson decided to change that. DWELL Real Estate was created. The firm was launched in 2011 with a team of enthusiastic agents, built on a solid set of values and a sleek, new look.
Every client, regardless of price point, receives a consistent level of service and commitment. A positive customer experience is the cornerstone of our business, and our clients are our top priority. Every DWELL Real Estate agent adheres to the highest standards established for service levels and overall productivity. We are only willing to hire the best and brightest in the real estate industry.
The Vision - To bring back the personalized touch that is missing in the Sarasota real estate market and to create a locally owned and operated firm comprised of the area's best Realtors.
