Sue Carlson
Broker / Owner
Hello! My name is Sue Carlson. I have been coming to the Gulf Coast of Florida for years, visiting my parents who wintered on the north end of Anna Maria Island. After years of traveling the world as an incentive travel host, I settled here into what has been a 30+ career of helping buyers find their own slice of paradise. I started the first vacation rentals company, Anna Maria Island Accommodations, on the island in the 1980’s, when realtors concentrated solely on monthly winter rentals, and not weekly vacationers.
With the advent of the Internet, I have seen the sleepy island of Anna Maria become a mecca for investors and owners looking for a getaway that does not sit empty during the “off months.” I moved to Longboat Key after selling my rental company and now enjoy exploring the other barrier islands of Longboat Key, Lido Key, and also Sarasota. Please let me help you find your place in paradise!
*****FIVE STAR REVIEWS *****
Sue worked with us to purchase a home on the island. Her knowledge and expertise proved to be an invaluable asset. Taking the time to help us understand what criteria should be considered when purchasing for long term ownership, Sue acted as both an advisor and a purchasing agent. She is one of the most honest and ethical individuals we have ever dealt with…and we would definitely use her as a buyers agent in the future.
“It was a pleasure working with Sue Carlson. Her local knowledge, responsiveness and wonderful personality made purchasing a condo in Bradenton Beach an enjoyable experience. I'd highly recommend her to anyone thinking about purchasing real estate in the area.”

“My husband and I have bought many homes over the years. We both felt that Sue Carlson was one of the best real estate agents we have worked with. She was very professional and did exactly what we asked of her.”
“From the minute we found Sue on her website and she responded to our request for information, we knew we had found the perfect realtor for us. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped us so much in filtering through possibilities. She helped us avoid a couple of buying pitfalls, which we so much appreciated. She never pushed, just gently lead us towards our final goal of purchasing the perfect place for us. She is a great negotiator - her skills kicked into high gear at just the right time! We highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for an honest, forthright and energetic realtor.”
