Stirling Sotheby's International Realty Associate's Online Kudos Gaining New Clients, New Real Estate Sales

ORLANDO, Fla. --- Don’t tease Linnette Sanzalone about her online cred. Sanzalone, an International Luxury Home Specialist at Stirling Sotheby's International Realty, can count a half dozen new clients that came her way after reading 5-star reviews on the Zillow real estate web site.

Zillow solicits customer reviews of area realtors and real estate companies.

“I first started hearing the buzz about three months ago,” Sanzalone said. “A few of my friends---fellow Realtors---called to tell me they had read about me on the Internet. At first, I didn’t pay much attention,” she said.

“Then clients began reaching out to her asking for help selling their homes---buying homes,” said Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner at Stirling Sotheby's International Realty.

“Homebuyers and sellers are so much more sophisticated today than they were even 10 years ago.” Sanzalone said. “I can’t remember the last client I spoke with who wasn’t researching the Internet to buy or sell a home,” she said.

Soderstrom said, “Zillow.com ranks as one of the nation’s leading real estate portals, with listings of thousands of homes for sale. Zillow also offers online appraisals of individual homes, though such appraisals are only general estimates,” he said.

“Most of our clients visit Zillow and some of our clients use it as an absolute guide,” Sanzalone said.

Sanzalone’s past clients have been generous with their praise for her expert advice and quick response, Soderstrom said.

“So-called word-of-mouth is the best form of advertising you can have in any business, but it’s doubly important in real estate,” Sanzalone said. The Internet and web portals like Zillow have made it so much more productive, and I can say with certainty that clients take ‘customer reviews’ to heart when choosing a Realtor,” she said.

Del Webb Southshore Falls Homeowner Bruce Davis Vaulted to Gymnastics Fame, Now Trains Youngsters

APOLLO BEACH, Fla. --- Del Webb Southshore Falls homeowner Bruce Davis is a noted author, lecturer and gymnastics trainer whose life long passion got its start thanks to the guidance of his sister – three-time Olympian Muriel Grossfeld – in Indianapolis.

Now Davis and his wife Rita have owned and operated FlipFlops & Fitness at 328 Apollo Beach Blvd. in Apollo Beach for the past 11 years, and Davis is still paying back his famous sister.

Though he competed in college at South Connecticut State University in New Haven, Davis never made the Olympic team, the Holy Grail of gymnasts. But he’s done the next best thing---training Olympians and inspiring thousands more to excel in gymnastics.

Flip Flops & Fitness is located just five minutes from their Del Webb Southshore Falls home, one of the many advantages of the active adult neighborhood.

“We love our neighbors, I’d have to say that’s the biggest appeal at Del Webb Southshore Falls,” Davis said.

At FlipFlops & Fitness, the Davises offer children from preschool to teens training in gymnastics and tumbling geared for competition and cheerleading. He conducts 21 classes a week with 4-8 children in each class.

Davis, who earned his Bachelors Degree in Health and Physical Education from SCSU and a Masters Degree from Ohio University at the age of 21, taught and coached at Miami-Dade Community College North Campus for 33 years before retiring as Professor Emeritus in 1999.

While teaching in Miami, Davis opened Gymiami, a private gymnastics school, where he trained Olympian Kurt Thomas and national team member Cathy Shotwell. He took a one-year leave from Miami-Dade to pursue another passion as the managing editor for International Gymnastics magazine further wetting his appetite for gymnastics journalism

He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the World Acrobatics Society and is an internationally recognized authority on gymnastics.

The Davises were drawn to Del Webb Southshore Falls by the upscale features and barrel tile roofs and the fact that all homes are built to meet or exceed the tough Miami-Dade code.

“We enjoy our home at Del Webb Southshore Falls very much and appreciate the PulteGroup for putting it here,” Davis said.
