Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota are my home turf — the two markets I know block by block, with the Gulf escape of Siesta Key right in between. Curious about any of them? Let’s talk.

Brendan Sullivan, REALTOR® with Preferred ShoreBrendan Sullivan · REALTOR®
Meet Brendan

Family, faith, and Florida real estate.

A dedicated family man, faith based, fun junkie, and one real estate obsessed Florida boy.

I’ve flipped more than 100 houses and built a rental portfolio of my own, so I know this business from every angle. I got into real estate to put all that experience to work for other owners and investors, because I’ve lived the wins and the headaches myself, not just read about them.

For me it was never really about the transaction. It’s about building real friendships with good people that last long after the closing. I pour everything I’ve got into my clients, with a little faith, a lot of hustle, and as much fun as we can have along the way. Honestly, I’d rather earn a friend for life than chase a quick commission.

Home is Lakewood Ranch, where my wife and I are raising our four kids, and my whole family calls Sarasota home too. So when you work with me, you’re not getting a stranger passing through. You’re getting a neighbor who loves this place and truly cares about you and your family.

In their words

Clients on the experience

Brendan Sullivan is an awesome Realtor and I highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy a home or property in the Sarasota / Bradenton area. His friendly demeanor and expert knowledge on all aspects of buying, selling, leasing and flipping real estate is a winning combination.
Brian Spiers
If you want someone to sell your home that will put all his heart into what he does, Brendan Sullivan is the man for you. He went over and above board with everything he did for me. You will not go wrong having this man sell your home. I gave him five stars but it should be 10 stars.
Phil Pecoraro
Brendan was great to work with. He answered our calls and emails if not immediately, always very timely. He kept us informed along the way and we closed in less than four months. We highly recommend him for any real estate transaction.
Keith Gross
Brendan was fantastic to work with! He struck the perfect balance between being professional and personable, which made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. We had a tricky situation with selling one property and buying another, but Brendan navigated it all seamlessly. He secured both deals in just a matter of days, which was incredible. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely cares about his clients, Brendan is the one to call!
Thomas Gomboc
My family and I chose Brendan to help us find a new home. We changed our search requirements several times, and if it bothered Brendan, you would never have known — he was very happy to show us any kind of house we wanted to see. When we found the right one, he was able to help us get it at a great price. Thanks Brendan for being an important part of our story.
David Groff
Brendan is a great realtor! He really hustles on behalf of his clients. We just purchased two properties with very difficult negotiations, but Brendan really fought for us and jumped through every hoop to get our deals done. We wouldn’t consider anyone but Brendan to represent us. Anyone buying or selling a property would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn’t consider using Brendan as their realtor.
Nikki Phelan
I hired Brendan as my realtor to buy my personal home. He went over and above! He is an incredible negotiator, he sought out multiple options for lenders till we got the best possible rate, and he was on top of every little detail. I was so happy that I referred him to my mom, who chose him after interviewing multiple realtors to sell her condo.
Jordan Owens
Brendan was an amazing realtor! I purchased my home from long distance and he did a great job doing video walk-throughs and checking comps in the area. I didn’t think I could get everything on my wish list, but Brendan was able to deliver and find my wife and me our perfect vacation home! I highly recommend Brendan!
