Navigating Florida’s Gulf Coast Real Estate Market with Expertise and Passion
Roberta Olney, a seasoned real estate specialist with White Sands Realty Group, is dedicated to making the buying and selling process a seamless experience for her clients in the picturesque region of Sarasota and surrounding Gulf Coast cities. With a particular focus on beach properties in Venice/Sarasota, Roberta brings an extensive understanding of the Southwest Florida real estate market, specializing in residential and seasonal properties including single-family homes, condos, and villas.
Roberta’s service area spans across Venice, Nokomis, Sarasota, Osprey, Englewood, North Port, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda, and she is always eager to assist clients beyond these regions. With her extensive knowledge and passion for the area, Roberta states, “We have wonderful free beaches and most are within 15-30 minutes from any sister city. I’m very proud to live in this beautiful region where breathtaking beaches, serene parks, accessible waterways, and abundant wildlife surround us every day. Our cities offer that small-town feeling but with the amenities of bigger cities. Venice was recently named the #2 Happiest Seaside Town in the United States by Coastal Living, while Forbes ranked Venice among the top 25 places to retire in Florida. Siesta Key, with its baby powder white sand, is constantly ranked as one of the most beautiful beaches in America!”
Originally hailing from Minnesota, Roberta made the move to Florida in 2014, where she quickly discovered her passion for real estate after a successful career in marketing. Since then, she has achieved nearly $60 million in total sales, showcasing her ability to connect clients with their dream properties. Her background in public relations, marketing, and education has sharpened her communication skills, making her an attentive listener and a determined problem solver. Roberta takes pride in offering a smooth, worry-free transition for her clients, whether they are purchasing a vacation home or relocating permanently to Florida.
Roberta’s client-centered approach includes a comprehensive range of services, from financing and insurance referrals to connecting clients with trusted contractors and providing pre-and post-painting or handyman services. She believes in walking her clients through every step of the real estate process, ensuring they feel supported and informed. What she enjoys most about real estate in the Venice/Sarasota area is helping clients discover the beauty and charm of the region, enhanced by her strong commitment to treating clients like family. Roberta represents her client’s best interests, maintains excellent communication, and utilizes her negotiation skills to create a seamless and enjoyable real estate experience.
Having lived in Venice for nine years and currently residing in a North Port canal home, Roberta is passionate about the boating lifestyle and the stunning beauty of Southwest Florida. Whether buying or selling, she is committed to helping clients find their perfect piece of paradise and embrace the beach life.
