Originally from Baldwin, Long Island, Brian Meskil moved to Sarasota shortly after graduating college in 1983. Professionally, he has been involved in advertising, real estate, marketing, sales and public relations, both on a corporate and entrepreneurial level. For 17 years, he worked for Florida¹s oldest family business—the Albritton Fruit Company—and has owned and operated a candy distribution and vending machine business.

Brian’s interest in real estate began in the mid-1980s under Tollyn Twitchell, son of Sarasota School of Architecture’s Ralph Twitchell, managing and maintaining Sea Winds condominium on Siesta Key. Applying that knowledge, he bought his first “fixer-upper” on Longboat Key in 1987. During the ensuing years and several more of these projects under his belt, he had become proficient in the Sarasota rental, home repair and real estate market.

In 2001, his wife, Realtor Laura Benson, sought his assistance and expertise to help with her bustling career. To this, he said, "I'm not a salesman." And she replied, "People don't want to be sold, they want someone who knows the area, can answer all their questions, and negotiate on their behalf. It's the same thing you are doing now for yourself." Nine years later, he has accomplished being able to earn a living doing what he loves best while still having time for his family and friends. “What more can you ask for?” says Meskil.
  • “When I contacted Brian back in April, little did I know that he would be a goldmine of professional information and resources. Although my purchase was very small, he treated me and my husband as though it were a million dollar home. I can highly recommend him to others who might be looking to purchase in the Sarasota area, as I already have.”
