A legacy of excellence and trust since 1976

Local expertise, global connections and commitment to our communities

For nearly 50 years, independently owned Michael Saunders & Company has adapted to the inevitable ups, downs and shifts in the local real estate market to provide expertise and meticulous service to buyers and sellers throughout every step of their real estate journey.

It all began in 1976, when Founder and CEO Michael Saunders took out a co-signed $5,000 loan to start her own real estate business. After growing up on north Longboat Key and graduating from college, Saunders’ passion for making a difference inspired her to become a schoolteacher and then a social worker. Her love of the Gulf Coast and superb people skills led her into real estate, where she apprenticed with brokers and developed a vision of her own firm. Guided by strong ideals, creative thinking and a foundation rooted in customer care, Saunders launched the company in a small

“We not only want to make the company better; we want to make the community better.”

office on St. Armands Circle with a team of like-minded agents and staff who shared the same drive to make a difference.

Michael’s son, Drayton Saunders, joined the Sarasota-based firm in 2003, becoming the company’s president in 2010. Through their strategic vision, tenacity and perseverance, the company has grown into a thriving full-service brokerage offering the most comprehensive range of real estate services in Southwest Florida, including mortgage, title, insurance and relocation services, developer services, and a commercial real estate division. Today, a collaborative team of agents, support staff and leadership work out of 20 offices spanning three Gulf Coast counties. The leading luxury real estate company on Florida’s Suncoast, Michael Saunders & Company achieved $3.8 billion in sales volume in 2022.

From the beginning, Michael Saunders set out to align her company with the most influential – and independent – brokerages in real estate. International affiliations with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, Luxury Portfolio International and Mayfair International connect the company’s agents nationally and globally and put local listings on the radar of luxury buyers and sellers around the world.

“Having access to these premier brokers who have strong footholds and commanding market share in their respective markets is important to our agents and customers alike,” Drayton says.

Michael and Drayton also are committed to enriching community life through their involvement with a multitude of local organizations over the years. Drayton serves on the board of directors of the Van Wezel Foundation and Gulfside Bank and is a member of Sarasota County’s Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, while Michael has been involved with Mote Marine, Selby Gardens and Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and the Education Foundation of Sarasota County, to name just a few.

The MSC Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm, is dedicated to improving lives in the communities it serves. Through the donations of agents, staff and leadership, the Foundation provides twice-a-year grants to nonprofit organizations across Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties that provide “shelter, sustenance, education and a path to self-sufficiency.” Drayton serves as vice president of the Foundation, which has raised $1,192,548 for more than 250 area nonprofits since its inception in 2011.

Michael and Drayton agree that the company draws its strength from trustful relationships – agents with clients, company with agents and community with company. “We not only want to make the company better; we want to make the community better,” Michael says.

IN LIVING

BY LISA KLEIN

If every hue has its own emotional and cultural meaning, a thoughtful palette can become a whole world of color to live in

“With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft,” once said the impressionist artist Henri Matisse. It is no secret that colors send a message, every subtle change in undertone, saturation or depth shifting what is said.

Combining a collection of shades can create entire realms tied to specific moods or experiences — what textile and product designer Lori Weitzner has dubbed “color worlds.” And forget witchcraft: purposefully bringing such a palette into your life can give a boost in areas that could use a change of color.

“It’s really how these colors will make us feel, specifically in a space,” Ms. Weitzner, principal of Lori Weitzner Design Inc. in

New York and author of Ode to Color: The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design, says. “We can understand how to communicate through color, and to use it to work for us and with us.”

Trigger Figure

Starting off as a painter before pivoting to textile design, Ms. Weitzner always had a good sense of color and composition. But years of making new fabrics, wallcoverings, passementerie and other items brought the stories those colors told to the forefront.

Consequently, she now has 36 color drawers in her studio filled with yarns and swatches, six for reds alone, the character and impact of each never lost.

COLOR

“I realized that color was actually my first language, before English, if that makes any sense,” Ms. Weitzner says. “It’s the first thing I think about all the time.”

While most do not consider color with the clarity that Ms. Weitzner does, every hue that crosses an individual’s vision has a subconscious effect — a memory trigger, a cultural touchstone or an emotional tap.

The ties between color and emotion have been observed throughout history, from the ancient Egyptians and Chinese to Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung’s theories in the 1900s to modern psychological studies on the subject. Orange is energetic, yellow optimistic, blue calming and red passionate.

Then there are cultural associations — red is often seen as a warning, purple is synonymous with royalty, green represents nature, black a symbol of mourning.

Each individual also color coordinates his or her own experiences. Much like the way scents are known to bring back memories, different hues can summon the past for each person.

Perhaps red reminds one person of a peaceful childhood trip to the apple orchard, another of a crimson-painted room that was the scene of a spectacular fight.

“What I actually think it is, is synesthesia,” Ms. Weitzner posits. “You experience something with all the senses working at the same time.”

Synesthesia is a condition in which senses are combined — someone may taste mint when she sees a certain color, see specific colors with every song she hears or hear a different sound with each food she eats.

Mozart, a famous synesthete, saw colors that corresponded to different keys of music.

In adults, synesthesia is thought to be caused by extra neural connections in the brain. It is believed, and is beginning to be shown by studies, that all infants have synesthesia for the first few months of life, as the brain undergoes a “pruning” of neural pathways until about age two, eventually separating and focusing each of the senses, among other brain functions.

“That crossover is what I think we all want to try and get back to,” Ms. Weitzner says.

Palatable Options

Ms. Weitzner, although working intuitively rather than scientifically, took these concepts of color psychology one step further and created entire worlds of color — each an experience in a palette.

“The way I see color is never just singular, it’s multidimensional,” Ms.Weitzner explains. “So, I created the color worlds as multidimensional. It’s not just about the colors, but about what they represent.”

The idea was a bit of a happy accident that allowed Ms. Weitzner to follow her innate sense of color wherever it took her.

When she was working on writing a book, she naturally thought it would be about her bread and butter, textiles.

But her editor advised her to take some time to think about what she really wanted to say.

“So, for a month, I was just throwing things in boxes — little quotes and yarn balls and pictures from magazines and whatever,” she says. “And by the end of the month, they were organized by color worlds.

“I thought, this is like more of a personal ode to color,” Ms. Weitzner recalls discovering once she started writing essays about each palette.

While there are endless yet-to-be discovered worlds of color, 10 made it into the resulting book along with anecdotes weaving the story of each one.

The “Garden Party” chapter includes essays about Ladurée macarons and Fred Astaire to accompany the palette of springtime pastels.

“Night Shadows,” a palette of ebony, fog and merlot, discusses the fictional Gotham, Greek goddess of the night, Nyx, and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

“At Ease,” accessible neutrals, touches on caramel corn and Ms. Weitzner’s childhood dog, Ginger, while “Out Loud,” bright shades such as fuchsia, orange and Kelly green, considers a box of crayons, Disney’s first forays into Technicolor, red lipstick and the work of fashion designer Emilio Pucci.

“I wanted to give you a full, 3-D picture of what these worlds mean in culture and life and history and to me personally, and how there’s a connect-the-dots between them all,” Ms. Weitzner says. “It’s very much a synesthetic book.”

Hues To You

Ms. Weitzner stresses that the purpose of Ode to Color was to help her readers to understand how to harness the power of these palettes in their lives.

When added to a space, each color world imparts its own energy there and can be used to change the atmosphere to suit one’s needs.

To that end, Ms. Weitzner worked with a psychologist for more than six months to develop a test that matches each person with a color world or two. The results may not be a favorite palette, but the one whose vibes are needed — and that can change, given the use of a space or the time in one’s life.

Photo by Nathan Van Egmond.

“The idea behind it is that people will start to think about color as a tool, that colors can do things for us,” she says. “Consider what it might mean, whatever that result is.”

The most popular result of the test is “Alchemy,” warm metals such as gold and bronze that inspire creativity — unsurprising given that Ms. Weitzner’s largest audience comprises those in artistic fields who may need a spark.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, that shifted to “Waterside,” a range of blue shades that exude stability and dependability, certainly absent feelings during that time.

“I always get ‘Fragrant Woods’ and it’s because I’m totally nature-deprived,” Ms. Weitzner says of her test result, a palette of mossy greens and deep browns which transport one into the forest. “I live in this lovely loft, but it’s concrete,” she says. “I’m never surprised.”

Whatever the recommended color world, adding more of it into your surroundings can stir up the sensations it rouses. While you can go all out and decorate an entire room with

a color world, Ms. Weitzner says even adding just a touch can go a long way.

Glassy light fixtures or reflective mirrors add a bit of “Silverlight,” a palette of cool metals such as silver and pewter.

A new set of crisp white sheets will bring in some “Whisper,” the serene shades of white.

For “Earthly,” terra cotta, rust and ochre, Ms Weitzner says simply lighting a candle during the day for the warmth of the flame works.

MS. WEITZNER ENCOURAGES connecting with her color worlds and then looking beyond them to find worlds of one’s own.

By entering the infinite possibilities of color, a person can gain back a little bit of that synesthesia he or she was born with to really experience all that hues can do.

“Just start to think about color in a different way, in how it can serve you,” Ms. Weitzner advises. “We’ve come so far away from utilizing and engaging our senses in the way we are supposed to.”

The Bay Park

Sarasota’s new sanctuary near downtown

Hailed as the crown jewel of Florida’s Suncoast, Sarasota is a diverse and lively community boasting a plethora of fun and exciting things to do. Last fall, Sarasota’s new public park, The Bay, made its debut during a 10-day celebration filled with activities and events welcoming the first phase of its development – a 15-acre green space of alluring natural beauty along Sarasota Bay.

Nestled between the famed Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and the picturesque Boulevard of the Arts, the park features a larger-than-life Ibis playground, Common Ground lawn, Mangrove Bayou Walkway, an award-winning concession pavilion and shade structure, an open-air reading room, an ADA-accessible paddle launch and the Fountain Garden.

From sunrise to sunset, The Bay is bustling with free and fun activities for every lifestyle and season. Yogis bask in the radiance of the sunlight while practicing healthy stretching and breathing techniques at the weekly Namaste at The Bay with Jessica DuBose. Near the waterfront, Zumba enthusiasts burn calories with high-energy dance moves at Zumba at The Bay with Ya’el Campbell. CoreSRQ at The Bay offers an exercise series that provides holistic remedies for the mind, body, and soul, such as Bootcamp, Prime +, low-impact resistance training for active seniors and beginners, Cardio Fusion, tai chi and Pickleball for New Players.

Zumba at The Bay is one of many places to enjoy moves and grooves. Sunday afternoons

have a new swing thanks to the soulful vocals of popular vocalist, studio musician and concert performer Jennifer Real, host of the weekly outdoor music event, Sundays at The Bay. Local jazz, marimbas, guitar and gospel artists entertain the audience with toe-tapping, head-bopping music selections. Notable performers include the critically acclaimed Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and Celtic punk rock band Clover’s Revenge.

In addition to music and movements, The Bay offers rest and relaxation while exploring its natural elements during the Walking in Wonder and Ride & Paddles guided tours. Walking in Wonder offers a tranquil stroll through the mangrove fest, wildflower meadow and along the shore while admiring the sights and sounds of the native plants and animals. Afterward, the kayaks await you for a two-hour exploration

of The Bay’s restored mangroves and north and south park areas. Lastly, Meditation Mondays in the Mangroves allows you to begin your week with peaceful and positive vibes.

The Bay has received widespread accolades and recognitions, including the American Society of Landscape Architects Design Award, the Boston Society of Landscape Architects Award of Merit, the Florida Public Relations Associations Award of Distinction and the Florida Public Relations Association’s State Award.

Formed in 2019, the non-profit Bay Park Conservancy will implement a master plan approved by the Sarasota City Commission to redevelop the 53-acre bayfront into a hub for free programs and events and an array of activities and recreational uses. The $150 million redevelopment project will take 7-10 years over three more phases to complete.

If you have not yet visited The Bay, head out to this beautiful bayfront gem to discover its beautiful natural landscape and array of delightful events and programs.

From sunrise to sunset, The Bay is bustling with free and fun activities for every lifestyle and season.

PICKLEBALL

Pickleball’s popularity soars across Suncoast

BY SYLVIA WHITMAN

Pickleball’s origin story speaks to the sport’s accessibility and inclusiveness. In the summer of 1965, three dads near Seattle, Washington, invented the game for their bored kids – a mashup of pingpong, tennis and wiffle ball on a badminton court. Since no one anticipated the sport’s stunning trajectory years later, its early history remains fuzzy. No condiments were involved: The game is named for either a ball-chasing dog or a ragtag crew boat, according to USA Pickleball, its governing body. Over the years, the sport radiated across North America, and then the world. Apparel and equipment suppliers followed. In 2005, USA Pickleball incorporated, sanctioning official rules and tournaments. In 2016, Naples – yes, our Naples, just down the coast –hosted the first US Open Pickleball Championships, now an annual event there.

By 2021, 4.8 million Americans were playing pickleball, making it the fastest-growing sport in the country. And the numbers continue to climb across the country and on the Suncoast. Traver West of superstore PickleballCentral.com, ticks off the game’s virtues: inexpensive, easy to learn, coed and multigenerational, and less physically taxing than other racket sports because of the smaller parameters of play.

Looking for a court?

You could follow the distinctive thwack of paddle on ball to one of Sarasota County’s more than 70 public outdoor courts. The Legacy Trail – an off-road path that runs from downtown Sarasota to Venice – is adjacent to the county’s newest pickleball venue, a dozen lighted courts at the Pompano Trailhead. For a map of outdoor courts and a list of seven airconditioned indoor facilities with pickleball courts

open October through May, check the Sarasota County Parks and Recreation website. (https://www.scgov.net/ government/parks-recreation-and-natural-resources/ things-to-do/activities/pickleball).

And those are just the public venues. Many residential communities across the Suncoast have added pickleball to their amenities. The Pickleball Club of Lakewood Ranch boasts 12 indoor courts, two covered outdoor courts and a pair of bocce courts. According to founder and CEO Brian McCarthy, the private club aims to build community as well as offer “a host of member amenities,” from a pro shop, locker rooms and café to “lessons, clinics, leagues, and specialty classes” for all levels of players, kids included.

Sarasota’s pickler pioneers laid the groundwork for the area’s current boom. Terry Ryan, aka Pickleball Terry, runs Sarasota Pickleball Organization LLC (https:// sarasotapickleball.com/home/). An official USA Pickleball ambassador, competitive player and certified coach, Ryan teaches clinics, organizes tournaments and broadcasts all things pickleball through her meme-happy weekly email blasts. Want to know what is open when? Subscribe.

A onetime property manager in Manhattan, Ryan discovered the game while working out at the Potter Park Y (now CORE SRQ). She spotted “people in the gym getting this plastic ball over the net and all having a great time,” asked what they were playing and they handed her a paddle. “That was it. I was hooked.”

Ryan said pickleball has a reputation as a senior sport, “but now the younger people are catching up.” According to USA Pickleball, in 2021 79% of casual players were 54 or younger, and players under 24 made up the fastestgrowing bracket. “What’s great is you put a 30-year-old

and a 60-year-old on the same court, and they can easily play together,” says Ryan. “Same for men and women.”

Another player on the local scene, the Sarasota Pickleball Club (https://sarasotapickleballclub.com/) has lobbied long and hard for dedicated public pickleball courts – with permanent nets and clear lines that do not crisscross with lines on basketball, volleyball and tennis courts. The Pompano Trailhead complex, located a couple of miles east of downtown Sarasota, represents a victory.

The club also works to grow the player base. Club President Tom Everitt took up pickleball at the Sarasota YMCA as a snowbird. When he moved here for good, he joined a local cadre in launching the club in 2017. Nothing against private clubs, Everitt said, but he promotes the public option because he believes it will eventually draw younger and more diverse players to the sport.

When the Church of the Palms on Bee Ridge Road opened a new gymnasium, SPC pitched pickleball as a regular activity. Thanks

to enthusiastic player-volunteers, the church has become a hub for beginner lessons and open play for beginner, intermediate and advanced players.

Picklers need gear. When Joe Capuano retired from a career as an NFL merchandise distributor, he took up pickleball—and soon discovered that retirement bored him and almost no one was selling pickleball equipment from a brick-and-mortar shop. Three weeks later, he opened Pickleball Sarasota (https://pickleballsarasota.com/), one of just a handful of dedicated pickleball stores in Florida. Not sure which paddle to buy? Talk to whoever is on the floor. In keeping with the sport’s easygoing vibe, Pickleball Sarasota invites you check out a free loaner and try it for a few days.

Pickleball Terry mentions a traveling nurse who plays wherever she is working: “She has instant friends, a social life and a sense of community.” Ryan credits pickleball’s “wonderful social aspect” for its wildfire spread. “You don’t have to get three other people to play with; you can just drop in and pick up a game.” Are you free?
