“Brandy came highly recommended to me by a trusted friend, and after working with her through the entire sale of my home, I completely understand why. She did a fantastic job from beginning to end. From getting the house ready for the market through the listing, sale, and closing, Brandy made the entire process incredibly easy and well coordinated. She stayed on top of all the details, kept me informed every step of the way, and always made sure I knew what was happening and what came next. She really took care of the moving pieces, which made selling my home much less stressful than I expected. I was also extremely impressed with how the home was marketed. The photos and listing did an excellent job highlighting the best features of the property and presenting it professionally. Now that we’ve successfully closed on the sale, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with Brandy. She was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I’m very grateful for the original recommendation, and I would highly recommend Brandy myself to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

Learn more about what Bay Island has to offer.
Bay Island offers residents a waterfront, walkable lifestyle with well-kept homes, canals and private docks, ample green space, and a warm, close-knit community.
Bay Island sets an easygoing daily rhythm where the water is rarely out of sight. Mornings often start with a peaceful drive across the Siesta Drive bridge into Sarasota or a quick trip to nearby Siesta Key for coffee and a walk along the sand. Many homes enjoy canal or bay access, so paddleboards, small boats, and sunset cruises are part of regular life rather than a special occasion.
Living here means you are minutes from the Gulf beaches at Siesta Beach, dining at waterfront spots near Bayfront Park, and performances at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Families value proximity to Southside Elementary School and other well regarded Sarasota schools, while professionals appreciate a straightforward commute into downtown offices, medical centers, and cultural venues.
Afternoons often revolve around errands and recreation. Publix, local shops, and fitness studios are a short hop away, and cyclists can connect to the broader area using routes that link toward the Legacy Trail. Evenings might mean meeting friends in Gulf Gate Estates for casual dining or heading into the Rosemary District for galleries and nightlife.
Because Bay Island is small and coveted, having an agent who knows the canals, bridge traffic patterns, and micro market trends is essential. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with local Sarasota agents who understand Bay Island’s lifestyle and can guide each move with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“I found Traci while searching for a buyer’s realtor. I currently live in Texas and was planning to fly to Florida to house hunt. Traci was instrumental in helping narrow down which city and neighborhood to concentrate on, knowing we were looking for a waterfront property. She showed us a combination of 21 houses and condos in 3 days, maximizing our time in Florida. She helped us realize that a house would be a better option than a condo due to exorbitant HOA fees of the listings. With her help, we discovered that we truly needed a 3/2 instead of a 2/2, and she found us the perfect one after we had already returned to Texas. Traci set us up with a mortgage rep., underwriter team, insurance company and everything that we needed for success. We were able to close in Texas via a mobile notary for our Florida retirement dream home and location. We couldn’t have done all this without her, her expertise and willingness to invest many hours of phone conversations and arrangements. Traci was tireless in her pursuit of our goal, in spite of the long distance involved. We cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and dedication. We rate her A+++ and 10 stars!”

“Larry was an absolute gem during our home buying process. He actively sought out properties that met our needs/desires and brought them to the table ASAP. We placed multiple offers on properties and Larry guided us with his expertise of the market and leveraged practical comparisons to make the correct offers. In the end, we found our new home in under 3 weeks of working with Larry, and we couldn't be happier. We would gladly use Larry again on a future buy, and highly recommend him to others.”

What I appreciated most was how genuinely focused she was on understanding my specific needs and finding properties that matched my criteria. In the end, Pamela didn't just find a house that checked my boxes—she helped me secure a home that far exceeded all of my expectations. I couldn't have asked for a better agent or advocate.

“Buying our first home felt overwhelming at first, but Kim made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. From day one, she took the time to explain every step of the process in detail, making sure we always understood what to expect. She was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions quickly and thoroughly, no matter how big or small. Kim was also flexible with scheduling, listened carefully to what we were looking for, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. She truly had our best interests at heart throughout the entire home-buying journey. She went above and beyond on closing day to make sure everything came together and that we were able to close on our first home without any issues. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor, and we highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
