About Phyllis
A concierge-level advisor for the Sarasota coast.
I provide strategic, concierge-level real estate counsel to discerning buyers, sellers, and investors across Sarasota's most coveted coastal and luxury markets. For more than a decade, I have represented clients throughout Sarasota County — from the waterfront estates of Siesta Key and Longboat Key to the refined enclaves of Downtown Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, and Wellen Park.
With over 20 years of real estate investment experience and deep local market intelligence, I deliver more than transaction support. I offer tailored pricing strategy, skilled negotiation, discreet marketing, and white-glove service from initial consultation through closing. Whether you are acquiring a waterfront estate, selling a luxury residence, relocating to Florida, or building an investment portfolio, my approach is intentional, confidential, and designed to protect your interests and maximize value.
