Emilee serves Sarasota and Manatee Counties on Florida's Gulf Coast, with a special focus on Lakewood Ranch and Parrish. She also works throughout Bradenton, Sarasota, and the barrier-island communities including Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island.
Lakewood Ranch is one of the top-selling master-planned communities in the country, known for A-rated schools, golf and country clubs, walkable town centers like Main Street and Waterside Place, and quick access to Gulf beaches. It is a strong fit for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
Parrish is one of the fastest-growing areas in Manatee County, popular for newer construction, more space for your money, and master-planned neighborhoods like North River Ranch and Forest Creek. It is especially appealing to families and buyers who want newer homes at a strong value.
Emilee is a relationship-first Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Realty and a member of the Realtors Association of Sarasota and Manatee (RASM). Her business is built on genuine connections, deep local market knowledge, and a luxury level of service for every client, not just high-end listings.
The easiest way is to book a free, no-pressure consultation. Emilee will learn your goals, walk you through the current local market, and map out your next steps, whether you are ready now or just exploring. Call or text (941) 271-1590 or schedule a time online.
Lakewood Ranch is made up of dozens of distinct villages, so the best one really depends on your lifestyle. Country-club living centers on Lakewood Ranch Country Club and Esplanade; Waterside and Lakehouse Cove offer newer waterfront homes near Waterside Place; and communities like Del Webb are built for active adults 55 and over. Families often choose villages with resort-style amenities and top-rated schools. Emilee helps you match the right community to how you actually want to live.
Yes. Emilee relocated to Florida's Gulf Coast herself, so she understands firsthand what it takes to settle into a new community. She helps out-of-state and international buyers get to know Sarasota and Manatee Counties before they ever arrive, from neighborhoods and schools to commutes, lifestyle, and value, and guides the entire move from the first video call to closing day.
The best way to know your home's true value is a professional, no-obligation market analysis, not an automated online estimate. Emilee looks at recent comparable sales, your home's condition and upgrades, and current demand in your specific neighborhood to give you a realistic price range and a strategy to maximize your sale.

Yes, and it usually costs you nothing to have your own agent. When you buy new construction in communities like North River Ranch or Waterside, the builder's representative works for the builder, not for you. Emilee represents your interests, helps you compare builders, lots, and upgrades, and makes sure nothing is missed in the contract. It is smart to bring her to your very first builder visit.
Forest Creek is a gated community in Parrish known for its lakes, walking trails, resort-style amenities, and a strong sense of neighborhood, all with convenient access to I-75, shopping, and Gulf beaches. It is a popular choice for families and buyers who want newer homes with more space for their money. Emilee actively tracks what is listed, pending, and sold in Forest Creek, so she can tell you exactly where the market stands.
Timing the market perfectly is nearly impossible, but the right time to make a move is when it fits your life and your finances. Florida's Gulf Coast continues to attract steady demand from families, professionals, and relocating buyers. The smartest first step is a quick conversation about your goals and a look at what is happening in your specific neighborhood. Emilee will give you honest guidance, not pressure.
Whether you're ready to make a move or just curious about the market, I'd love to hear from you.
