About
Your Sarasota Real Estate Advocate
As a licensed Realtor®, I’m proud to run my own business with the powerful support of Michael Saunders & Company—an iconic brand in Sarasota real estate for over 48 years. With the strength of an award-winning marketing team, cutting-edge technology, and an international referral network, I’m backed by a company that brings buyers and sellers together from around the world.
I’ve called Sarasota home since 1973 and have watched the market evolve first-hand. Real estate companies have come and gone, but Michael Saunders & Company has remained a pillar of integrity and service. Our collaborative management team and experienced colleagues create an environment where we support one another—especially when navigating complex transactions.
Though I’ve worked in real estate for over three decades, no two buyers, sellers, or properties are ever the same. That’s what keeps my work exciting. Every home—and every client—has a story, and I take great pride in helping people define success on their own terms.
A Local’s Perspective with a Teacher’s Touch
Before real estate, I was a teacher and worked in small businesses—roles that taught me the value of listening closely and communicating clearly. My husband and I raised our family here and are deeply involved in the community. We live, shop, walk, swim, dine, and enjoy Sarasota’s incredible arts scene. I’ve also volunteered as a Guardian ad Litem, with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, in classrooms, and on neighborhood boards.
Thanks to decades of connection-building, I have a trusted network of local experts. If I don’t have the answer, I’ll find someone who does.
You’re not just a client—you’re a future neighbor. I want you to treasure Sarasota the way we do.
What You Can Expect
My guiding philosophy is simple: clients’ needs come first. I bring a powerful combination of:
-
Integrity
-
In-depth local and market knowledge
-
Detailed research skills
-
Strong marketing and negotiation expertise
-
Constant adaptation to new technology
I stay up to date on continuing education and maintain close relationships with the area’s top attorneys, lenders, title companies, home inspectors, and other professionals—so you have the best team supporting you at every step.
Let’s talk about your goals. Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating, investing, or selling a property, I’m here to help you succeed.
