Michael Saunders & Company

In its 45th year of service to Southwest Florida, Michael Saunders & Company has grown into a network of 24 full-service real estate offices—with nearly 700 agents and 200 support team members spanning the Gulf Coast region. International brokerage affiliations with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Luxury Portfolio International, and Mayfair International Realty extend the company’s message to qualified buyers globally and connect agents to the latest consumer and industry insights. Headquartered in Sarasota, Fla., Michael Saunders & Company affords customers the most comprehensive range of real estate services in the Southwest Florida marketplace. These include mortgage, title, insurance and relocation services, a new homes and condominiums sales division, and a commercial real estate division. Rental and timeshare opportunities located at world-renowned IMG Academy, Veranda Beach Club, and White Sands of Longboat Key are presented exclusively by the company and a philanthropic arm, the MSC Foundation, gives back to Gulf Coast community organizations via donations from agents and staff.

Our company culture is built from our Sarasota roots, strong moral standards, and a unified vigor to set the highest expectation for real estate services.

The idea of service is central to the way we operate, developing from the personal story of our Founder and CEO, Michael Saunders. Growing up on Longboat Key, she went from school teacher to social worker to a single mother taking out a co-signed loan to start her own business. Guided by strong ideals, creative thinking, and a foundation of customer care, Michael launched the company in 1976 in a 1,000 sq. ft. office on St. Armands Circle. Driven by the same set of core values and emphasis on brand independence, Michael’s son, Drayton, joined the company in 2003, helping to grow the company into what it is today.

From $11 million in sales by the end of that first year to what is now a billion-dollar business, Michael Saunders & Company is an influence on the real estate industry felt around the world.
