From Bridges to Bridges, Beach to Bay, Gulf to Golf, Boats to Carts – we have you Covered! Amy Robinson Real Estate is a boutique real estate firm founded on sunny and spectacular Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida. Our story goes a little like this. One of the many reasons Amy decided to start her own firm was she was not happy with the lack of enthusiasm and passion at the “mega” firms for the Real Estate industry and business she loved. And more importantly, the culture at those firms was not one about the clients and their needs; but about the corporate culture and leadership’s needs. Amy’s belief was that the clients and agents were held in low regard; it was simply a numbers game – and she, her clients and colleagues grew tired of being just that, a number. Fortunately, someone gave Amy a bit of great advice: “You’re not a tree; move.” And, so she did. She hears similar feedback about the “mega” firms often, and so she shares that same advice with her Buyers and Sellers – if you’re unhappy with the level of service or anything about your Real Estate experience “You’re not a tree; move.” Amy’s passion for real estate began when she purchased her first house at the age of 19, which then sold two years later for more than double the original price. Ultimately, Amy knew real estate was the quintessential opportunity to leverage her desire to be an entrepreneur. It had been preached to her since she was a little girl – get your education and work hard and you can do whatever you want. There are no limits, no excuses. Put your mind to it and it’s yours. Amy learned early on clients don’t want to hear something can’t be done – they don’t want to hear the word no. Intuition helps, and being a problem solver enables her to intuitively navigate the complexities of every real estate transaction. Her unique marketing approach coupled with her desire for exceptional client service and fierce loyalty to her clients separates Amy and her team from the rest! The flagship office of Amy Robinson Real Estate is over 2,000 square feet in the heart of North Siesta Key Village. Every surface reflects Amy’s personality. It’s a little sexy and a lot glamorous with high end finishes that include imported Italian tile and sleek Italian modern furniture, as well as state-of-the-art technology. The space epitomizes today’s modern office, inspiring in every way from the house music to the lighting and scents of lavender in the air. Success of the team, Amy believes, comes from integrity and professionalism along with a passion for the business, as well as their clients. Known for their astute business acumen, no-nonsense approach, thorough market knowledge, and incredible work ethic offset with a light hearted attitude and iconic and whimsical brand – the pink flamingo – it all just works. According to the National Association of Realtors, small offices of 1-5 agents make up the most offices, out numbering the big mega offices by far nationwide. We look forward to being your partner through the buying and selling process, we’ll strategically plan and provide suggestions and solutions that ensure your experience is positive throughout the entire process.

"Amy is the best of the best. She is professional, knowledgeable and dependable. "

I am a Realtor with Fine Properties in Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch Florida. I specialize in residential real estate helping buyers and sellers in Sarasota and Manatee Counties which includes Parrish, Palmetto, Bradenton, the Sarasota Keys (Anna Maria, Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key), Venice and more. I’m originally from Ohio and moved here in 2005 with my husband. We figured why wait until retirement to enjoy the wonderful weather. Prior to getting into real estate, I worked in the banking industry through college and for over 10 years after graduating. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Ashland University in Ohio with a double major in Management and Finance. I entered the Real Estate Arena in 2008. Most thought it was a crazy time to get a real estate license because of the housing market collapse, but I felt it was an exciting new challenge. I needed a change and with the encouragement of my husband I decided to go for it. His exact words were, “We love it here, we’ve bought a home here and we don’t want to go anywhere else, so go ahead and build your business”. It’s taken a lot of hard work but my business is growing. My financial background provided a great foundation to transition into real estate. I am able to understand the various financing options for my buyers, which helps me to better serve my clients by bringing the best of both worlds. Everything I do, I do for my clients. Continuing education is very important! Every two years each Realtor is required to complete continuing education to renew their license. Great Realtors go above and beyond by getting new designations, going to seminars and in house training courses. Also attending classes held by local real estate attorneys about the new laws and changes to our contracts. Real Estate changes daily and you need to make sure your Realtor is keeping up with these changes (I am). Since 2008, I have completed a few designations and am working on a few more. I am currently a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist; a Certified Distressed Property Expert and a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource. All the courses I take are to further my knowledge to help my clients. Real estate is a business that never rests. Along with daily interactions I have with my sellers, buyers and prospective clients, I also take the time to preview properties so I stay familiar with the different neighborhoods throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. It also helps me stay informed of the inventory of homes out there for my buyers and the competition for my sellers. I preview homes on Siesta Key, Casey Key and other areas. I also frequently visit the builders in the area and know what they have to offer my clients if they want a NEW Home. Over the last few years I have been Networking and getting to know local vendors that can help my clients. Want to remodel your home? I know building contractors. Need to fix your pool, I know some great people. Want a concierge service that takes care of your home when you are up north for the summer? I know plumbers, electricians, interior designers and anyone else you might need to know. No one Realtor can do this alone. I have been building my team. Since entering the real estate business I have surrounded myself with a team of people designed to help my customers. I have aligned myself with the best lenders, incredible real estate attorneys, home inspectors that go above and beyond, moving companies and the list goes on. I even recruited my husband to help me with the marketing and advertising of homes for my sellers. So when you decide that you’d like to buy or sell a home in Manatee or Sarasota County please feel free to contact me.
