In 2016 she achieved a landmark, selling both the highest priced home on Sanibel and the highest on Captiva. 2017 produced another record Sanibel gulf front home sale. Her portfolio continually offers real estate representing the unique diversity of our islands. If you’re looking for results, just call Phaidra and she’ll put her boundless energy and island knowledge to work for you.

Dustyn is constantly improving his skill and service levels

I’m a full time Real Estate Professional providing outstanding customer service for all my clients. I assist all my clients through the entire process of finding their dream home, condo, 1031 Exchange to their investment property transactions from the beginning of the process to long after the closing. I have made wonderful friends through my career as a full time Real Estate Professional. The process is very rewarding to me in so many ways. I love to meet people that really want to be part of the magical islands and watch them become so excited to be able to become a property owner in paradise.

I grew up on Sanibel Island and believe in preserving our environment and giving back to our wonderful community. There are not a lot of places in the world that keeps providing us with healthy shells, healthy wildlife, clean sandy beaches, bike paths, the arts, a community that supports our small business owners and “for the people” feeling with our City of Sanibel. If SW Florida is the area you would like to be part of them I am the right Realtor Professional for you. “The finest compliment one can receive is a referral”

Carolyn Tongyai Soon after getting married on the beach at sunset on Captiva Island, Carolyn and her husband decided to move to the islands rather than wait for retirement as originally planned. Her years experience in the local remodeling industry along with her commercial leasing and business management experience in Atlanta were a natural transition to a career in real estate. Born and raised in Rode Island, Carolyn is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and spent her early years in marketing, customer service and sales support.

Her business experience, professionalism, and attention to detail will make your Real Estate transaction a smooth one.
