Rasmussen Property Group sold another condo in downtown Sarasota. Today we closed on 33 Gulfstream Avenue #501. It was listed for $279,900 and it closed for $275,000 (public record). It was a challenging closing because it was a foreclosed property and owned by a hedge fund. It was encumbered with city liens (public record) that had to be resolved prior to closing. Fortunately, we got everything done and it was successfully closed. 

This foreclosed downtown condo was a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,055 condo in Gulfstream Towers.
