Wide open spaces, sweeping natural landscapes and close proximity to fantastic amenities– these are all reasons that Chris Baylis lives and sells “Out East” in Manatee County. A Realtor for 15+ years, the majority of that time in the Lakewood Ranch area, Chris’s passion for the country lifestyle is clear from the moment you meet her. Along with her focus on residential communities, Chris specializes ... more.in the amazing array of equestrian properties and acreage found in Manatee and Sarasota counties– from Palmetto and Parrish to Panther Ridge and the University Park corridor. Customers appreciate Chris’s ability to communicate proactively, listen carefully and speak honestly. Her diligent way of taking care of the details brings a welcomed sense of calm and confidence to the real estate transaction. Originally from Huntington, New York, Chris earned an associate’s degree in management and marketing from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. With her refined eye and creative vision, Chris can help buyers envision the possibilities of a space or showcase sellers’ homes in the most attractive light. Another facet to her expertise is understanding the complexities of HOA docs, rules and regulations as a licensed Community Association Manager (CAM). Chris and her husband of over 27 years reside in Panther Ridge and have two sons. Her spirit of adventure explains two of Chris’s hobbies– boating and motorcycles!

Over the course of our 30 years together, we have bought and sold a number of homes. We thought we had enjoyed the services of some good realtors over that time. Then we worked with Sue Lee. We have never experienced anything even close to the outstanding service that she and Chris Baylis provided to us. To our amazement, the home – which we had expected to move slowly because it was summer – was under contract in eleven days. And the process itself was exceptional: as is inevitable when a home is selling, there were some glitches along the way, but nothing fazed Sue or Chris. They simply, calmly, promptly took care of it and of us. We cannot praise their work highly enough. We can, however, assure you that when the time comes to list our current home, we will consider only one firm and one Realtor: Michael Saunders & Company and Sue Lee.
Our home sold last month and Susanne Cosgrove-Lee and Chris Baylis went above and beyond in their efforts to get this house sold. They are both professional and are a credit to your firm. We have recommended them to all our friends.
Just wanted to send a quick note to say that Chris went above and beyond on both our purchase in Bradenton and sale in Palmetto, she is a very hard working person. She never missed a call or meeting and answered our constant myriad of questions on everything at any time of day! She really is a pleasure to deal with and we would highly recommend her to represent anyone that asks us about our real estate experience.
The safety and health of our customers and staff are our top priority.
