Sarasota isn’t my market. It’s my hometown.
My family moved to Sarasota and Siesta Key in 1962. I grew up here, graduated from Riverview High School, and after college (UF/USF) came back to build a 35-year career in the wireless industry — negotiating major corporate contracts, including the State of Florida’s wireless contract.
That negotiation experience now works for you: finding and winning your first home, your retirement dream home, or a quick and profitable sale of your existing one. Having grown up locally does have some advantages.

Good to know
Sarasota questions, answered straight
Which Sarasota-area beach town is right for me?
It depends on your pace. Siesta Key is lively with the #1-ranked beach in the U.S.; Longboat Key is quieter and more upscale; Venice has small-town charm; Anna Maria Island keeps an old-Florida feel. Tracy grew up here and can match you to the right island or neighborhood in one conversation.
Is Sarasota a good place to buy a vacation rental?
Sarasota and Siesta Key have strong year-round vacation demand, but rental rules vary a lot by city, county, and HOA. Tracy manages vacation rentals himself and can steer you toward properties where short-term renting actually works.
What does it cost to work with Tracy as a buyer?
Buyer representation is typically compensated through the transaction; terms are agreed in writing up front per Florida law. There is never a fee to have an initial conversation about your plans.
How is the Sarasota market right now?
It varies by price point and neighborhood — waterfront, condos, and new construction all behave differently. Call or text Tracy at 813-267-1312 for a current read on the specific area you are watching.
