Hello! My name is Sue Carlson. I have been coming to Anna Maria Island for years, luckily, visiting my parents who spent winters here to escape northern Michigan winters! After taking travel groups to faraway places around the world, always thinking the grass was greener on the other side of the fence, I have finally found my piece of paradise right here in the United States, on the Gulf Coast of Florida and Anna Maria Island!

Hello! My name is Tanya Edwards. I have lived in the Bradenton area for over 25 years and have a wealth of experience in the vacation rental industry, helping clients find their perfect vacation spot. Transitioning into real estate sales is allowing me to help those clients make their dream come true... to have a piece of paradise! I am also a singer in the area playing at many of the local venues!! So call the Singing Realtor and lets find your perfect home!!!

My wife, Michele, and I are natives of Traverse City, Michigan. In 2013 we decided to “live the dream” and purchase a vacation home on Anna Maria Island. Working with Sue and An Island Place Realty made the process go seamlessly, and her obvious knowledge of the island and personal approach was an unexpected bonus.

After making the decision to retire after almost 37 years as a practicing chiropractor, my wife and I made the permanent move to the “perfect place,” and I have started a new career in real estate. Working with Sue at An Island Place Realty was the obvious choice!

Spending 36+ years as a doctor of Chiropractic and taking care of people have taught me the value of truly listening to people’s concerns and desires to help them achieve their goals.

My commitment to hard work, excellence, honesty, combined with an in depth knowledge of the available properties on the island are the philosophy that drive my real estate practice. Please call to schedule an appointment today to see if “The Real Estate Doctor” can help you achieve your goals! I am anxious to work with you!

COMING SOON!

Hello! My name is Keith Barnett. I was born in Miami and raised on Grand Bahama Island, where my father, Captain Ray Barnett, was instrumental in the early development of the island. I have spent the last 25 years residing on the Gulf Coast of Florida, 17 of them on Anna Maria Island. I followed in my father's footsteps, serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, and am a licensed 100 ton Master, advanced open water scuba diver, and rescue diver. I am owner of Barnett Blinds, and my wife, Rebecca, and I still travel frequently to the Bahama Islands.

I moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Bradenton, Florida in August 2022, and I’ve never looked back!
I work full-time in property management at Beach Boutique Rentals and as our in-house real estate agent at our local office on Anna Maria Island. Whether you’re searching for a perfect vacation spot or your forever home, I’m here to make your dreams a reality!
