In Sarasota’s luxury market, reputation is earned in quiet, consistent ways: correct pricing, disciplined presentation, thoughtful negotiation, and a marketing standard that attracts qualified buyers—locally, nationally, and internationally.
That’s why we’re proud to share that the Laughlin Tanner Group has been recognized as the top luxury real estate team in Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Sarasota region, a distinction that reflects performance, professionalism, and the trust of discerning clients.
The Laughlin Tanner Group
The Laughlin Tanner Group represents buyers and sellers who value discretion, clarity and results. Our work is built on an exacting approach to property presentation, a deep understanding of Sarasota’s most desirable neighborhoods, and a deliberate marketing process designed to position a home with confidence where qualified buyers are searching. This recognition speaks to the care behind every detail: how a home is prepared, photographed, sequenced, communicated, and guided from first showing to closing.
Premier Sotheby’s International Realty
Premier Sotheby’s International Realty is one of the most significant luxury brokerages in the country, named the No. 1 Sotheby’s International Realty brokerage worldwide by sales volume, and reporting $7.6 billion in total sales volume across its Florida and North Carolina markets.
The firm is supported by a large, experienced organization that includes over 1,400 sales professionals in 40 locations and benefits from an association with the Sotheby’s auction house, established in 1744.
Why Being No. 1 in Sarasota Luxury Real Estate Matters
Rankings can be marketing claims, or they can be independently verified performance. In Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s case, the “No. 1” distinction is tied to RealTrends Verified, an independently verified industry benchmark that ranks brokerages by closed sales volume and transaction sides, supported by third-party accounting firms and MLS data.
Just as important, it places our Sarasota clients inside a truly global luxury ecosystem. Sotheby’s International Realty reported US$157 billion in 2024 global sales volume, with 1,100+ offices across 84 countries and territories and 26,100+ independent sales associates, a network built to connect exceptional properties with the right buyers, wherever they live.
For buyers and sellers, working with the #1 team in Sarasota Luxury real estate matters: you get a top-performing local team, backed by a brokerage recognized at the very top of the Sotheby’s International Realty network, with the reach and credibility to amplify exposure and attract qualified demand.
If you’re considering representation to buy or sell a luxury home in Sarasota, the Laughling Tanner Group would be pleased to be your trusted advisor.
