Our Story

Real Estate, the Naples Way

Unhurried, personal, and built on two decades of actually living the life our clients are looking for.

Who We Are

Small on Purpose. Personal by Design.


Sunshine Coast Properties was never meant to be the biggest brokerage in Naples. It was meant to be the one where you always talk to the same two people — the ones who toured the home with you, negotiated your contract, and still text you a restaurant recommendation two years after closing.

We started the agency with a simple observation: buying or selling a home on the Paradise Coast is one of the biggest financial decisions most families ever make, and too often it gets handed to whichever junior agent happened to answer the phone. Here, it doesn't. Every client works directly with Michael or Sarah, start to finish.

That focus shows up in the numbers — over 500 homes sold, more than $250 million in career sales, and homes that sell in an average of 21 days — but it shows up more in the way our clients talk about us. Most of our business comes from referrals and repeat clients, and we work hard to keep it that way.

And because so many of our clients start their Naples journey from somewhere else — Chicago, Boston, Columbus, Toronto — we've built our whole process to work beautifully over distance. Video tours, digital signings, and our signature Free Property Valuation Call — a relaxed phone or video conversation, never an office visit — mean you can make confident decisions from wherever you are.

Broker Associate · Listing Specialist

Michael Ryan


Michael came to Naples in 2004 for what was supposed to be one winter season and never left. Twenty-two years, 300+ closings, and countless sunset cruises later, he's one of the most trusted listing agents on the beachfront corridor — the agent other agents call when they need to know what a street is really worth.

His specialty is pricing strategy in Naples' most nuanced markets: Olde Naples, Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, and the waterfront neighborhoods where two houses a block apart can differ by a million dollars. Sellers love his direct, data-first valuation calls; buyers love that he'll talk them out of the wrong house.

Off the clock you'll find him on his boat somewhere past Gordon Pass, or losing golf balls at Grey Oaks with clients-turned-friends.

Specialties: Waterfront & luxury listings · Pricing strategy · Golf-community estates · 1031 exchanges

Sarah Johnson, Realtor
Realtor® · Buyer & Relocation Specialist

Sarah Johnson


Sarah knows exactly what it feels like to buy a Naples home from 1,200 miles away — because she did it herself. After a decade in Minneapolis, she and her family made the move in 2013, and the experience of being a long-distance buyer shaped everything about how she works today.

She's built a reputation as the agent who answers on the first ring, tours homes on video the same day they list, and remembers that your spouse wanted a gas range and your golden retriever needs a fenced yard. Her relocation clients arrive at closing feeling like they've lived here for years — because by then, thanks to Sarah's neighborhood crash courses, they practically have.

Weekends, she's paddleboarding Clam Pass with her kids or scouting new brunch spots to recommend to arriving clients.

Specialties: Buyer representation · Out-of-state relocation · Video touring · New construction
