Kara Pleasant

Turning real estate dreams into “Pleasant” realities with honest guidance, responsive communication, and unwavering commitment.

I spent much of my childhood vacationing on Sanibel Island, Florida, trading cold winters for warm, sandy beaches. During one of those trips, my grandmother made the decision to relocate permanently to Florida, which ultimately shaped my family’s move. I relocated from upstate New York to Florida at the age of ten, and it immediately felt like home. I later attended the University of South Florida in Tampa, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communication. While living in Tampa, I also met my former husband, and together we began building our life.

As a Broker Associate, I build genuine connections through active listening, thoughtful questions, and clear communication. I’m highly accessible and responsive, understanding how important timely answers are in real estate, and I remain personally involved every step of the way. I continuously elevate my expertise—including earning my broker license—and stay current on best practices and changing regulations so my clients benefit from both knowledge and real-world experience. I treat my clients like family, serving them with care and integrity I would expect for myself.

Proudly serving Charlotte, Lee, and Collier Counties including Punta Gorda, Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, and Naples.
