About
There aren’t a lot of places quite like here.
Florida’s Suncoast is the only place where a woman with a vision, tenacity and an unbridled passion for the region could build a company just as special as the place it was born.

In 1976, guided by strong ideals, outstanding customer care, and a desire to create an exceptional home-buying experience, Michael Saunders launched her real estate company in a 1,000-square-foot office on St. Armands Circle. Built around the core values of integrity, excellence, communication, and mutual profitability, the business grew to become one of the largest locally owned, independent real estate companies in Southwest Florida and the area's leading luxury real estate firm.
