Meet Your Sarasota Real Estate Experts

Based in Sarasota, we are proud to call this vibrant community our home. Some of our team members were born and raised here, while some came from great distances to get a taste of Sarasota’s picturesque beaches. At the end of the day, we all share a deep understanding of local market dynamics, and a great passion for helping you find your dream home.

Whether you're buying or selling existing homes, exploring new residential construction opportunities, or seeking out investor specials, our Sarasota real estate agents have the knowledge and experience to guide you through every step of the process.

Anne Friedland, Broker

I am a Sarasotan by choice. Searching for unique homes and profitable real estate opportunities in Sarasota and Manatee Counties is my passion. With patience and a positive attitude, I will successfully guide you through the decision making process.

Relocating can be exciting and stressful. Selling your home to move to the next step can be equally demanding. My first career as a counselor taught me how to be an excellent communicator and negotiator - which my clients have found very valuable. I will be by your side through the entire process so you can make your next move with confidence. I started my boutique real estate business to be able to give my clients the very best service and personal attention. Superior service is of utmost importance to me.

Sarasota provides a great lifestyle that I thoroughly enjoy. You will often find me out on the water kayaking, paddle-boarding or walking the great beaches of our Gulf Coast to balance my time.

Heide Crino, Realtor

I moved from Denver, Colorado to the Gulf Coast seven years ago to fulfill my ambition to live near the water. I chose Sarasota for all the reasons you might expect: endless days of sunshine, crystal white sand beaches and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As a real estate investor myself, I have purchased, remodeled and sold several homes from St. Petersburg to Sarasota after doing the same in Colorado. I love the entire process and am thrilled to be able to help you do the same.

I will make you feel at ease and confident in our ability as a team to obtain your ideal home or sell your existing home with the most optimal outcome for you. Whether it be staging a home of sale or searching for that new construction or a charming bungalow, I will be there every step of the way.

Real estate has always been my passion but you will also find me swimming in the Gulf (or the pool), paddle-boarding, and running.
