About me

As a home buyer, you want an agent that has extensive experience in the area and is totally familiar with the types of homes available.  I have lived in the Sarasota and Venice area for over 25 years and have owned and managed many properties in that time. I had been a long time member of the Venice Chamber of Commerce and have tons of Venice contacts and friends.  I can help with recommendations for trusted, local vendors such as Home Inspectors, Handymen, Insurance Agents, Title Companies, and others.

I now live in the Silver Oak community in Palmer Ranch in South Sarasota and LOVE this community.  I know this area intimately so I can help guide you to the area that is perfect for your needs.  Whether it is close to the beach, in a gated community, or downtown, I will strive to be the best, most knowledgeable agent you can use.  

To get started, just call 941-223-6373 or email me at brucebrunettefl@gmail.com.   I LOVE to help!

As your dedicated Buyer's Agent I will represent you as you start your search, help you to make an offer, help with negotiation, and eventually close on your new home.  There is NO COST to you for a Buyers Agent.  The alternative is to visit homes on your own and then you are dealing with the listing agent, whose primary focus has been on his client, the seller.  As in a legal situation, you need someone representing you exclusively and who has your best interests at heart.

For international buyers, Michelle, my partner, is fluent in both Spanish and French, having lived in France, Colombia and Spain. 

Let me help you find your perfect home in your perfect area.  And we will have lots of fun doing it! I know some great waterfront restaurants you will love.  If you are new to Sarasota and Venice, I will be glad to drive you around and show you the area so we can find just the right neighborhood for you.

For home sellers, I can provide buyers from my extensive database of my buyers and prospects.  If you list with me, I will provide my full attention and extensive online marketing to get you the price you want!

Regarding my background,  I have bought and managed several rental homes in Venice in the past 25 years.  I have an engineering degree  am very tech savvy with over 500 Facebook friends and am proficient in Online marketing, Mail Chimp and EZ Texting.

Prior to moving to Florida, I was active as a real estate investor in Minneapolis.  I had worked for Honeywell and Medtronic before starting my computer sales companies.  I was born and raised in Superior, WI and received a BS Degree in Engineering and an MBA in Marketing.  My brother still lives in Minnesota and my sons and families live in Minneapolis and Omaha, NE.  I LOVE helping folks from up north find their perfect home here.
