How To Retire In Southwest Florida: Charlotte/Sarasota County Editions To Be Published In Summer 2016

Tamara “Tami” Patzer, host of Retire, the radio show, and publisher of Retirement Guide Publishing, is seeking local business people to share their expertise about Southwest Florida and living in Florida with people who are moving to Florida, planning to retire or who already live in SW Florida. “Living in Southwest Florida is like finding paradise,” said Patzer, who moved to Charlotte County in 1983 to work at Fishermen’s Village in Punta Gorda. “I have now lived most of my adult life here, and it truly is the ideal place to retire.” She adds, “I decided to host the radio show, Retire, since so many people have learned about our area from it being revealed as the best area to live and retire by many publications including: U.S. News and World Report, “Where to Retire” magazine, and Forbes.

“Why not have our local business leaders tell the true story about Southwest Florida?” Patzer asks. “This is an opportunity to tell our story, but it also an opportunity to help support our local economy and to help develop leaders.” One-hundred percent of the retail royalties will benefit the local chapters of Future Home Builders of America scholarship funds. Locally, this will benefit students at North Port High School and Charlotte Technical Center. Patzer’s team will publish “How to Retire in Southwest Florida: Charlotte County Edition” in Summer 2016. She is looking for local business people who can advise people who want to learn more about retiring to Charlotte County. Currently, Patzer said she is seeking people who can answer frequently asked questions about real estate, home improvement, medical issues, finances, things to do, things to know. ”I am looking for local people who can shed some light on the secrets that can help people adjust to this great place to live, work, and play.”
