Life over the Rainbow in Sarasota, Florida

    Dianna & John Allaman share an affinity for the sea.  After all, both grew up on the crisp white sandy beaches and bright blue waters of Sarasota in the 1960's.  They look forward to sharing this local knowledge with you.

    Our experience has been that, with every purchase or sale of their home, clients become like family for a short while. It is then we appreciate, at the successful conclusion, that to have helped and advised them is to have shared in their life.

    We thank them for that.

    Mutual memories of lingering summer days at the deco-inspired Lido Casino, where you could be a kid in a real-life sandcastle. The thrills of seeking shelter in an old boat house after being caught in a sudden summer squall when waters would turn a deep bottle green and sport white caps. These are recollections which serve as inspiration for the casual lifestyle the Allaman's enjoy today along with their son Mack.  Kayaking, sailing, beachcombing and collecting vintage Florida memorabilia are among their interests.

    "We love the new of Sarasota as well; innovative schools, diverse cultural offerings and an array of tantalizing dining experiences keeps the allure of the area fresh." says Dianna.  With 21 years living on Casey Key and a decade living West of Trail in town, we have the local knowledge to help.

    Dianna has a background in home decor specializing in taking found objects, realizing their unique beauty and creating a second life for them. 

    Together their technology, marketing, communication and creative skills are combined with years of experience meeting the needs of discerning customers. "Through our combined strengths and talents you may expect a certain ease when it comes to buying or selling your home."   John adds, "Our appreciation of Sarasota and our ability to help you make the right decisions when purchasing your dream home will help you build your own wonderful memories."
