Kara Wootson

Welcome to the world of luxury living curated by Kara Wootson and her team. I lead an elite group of real estate professionals specializing in luxury sales, strategic marketing, and concierge-level service designed to deliver exceptional results for my clients.

With deep market knowledge and unwavering dedication, I transform real estate transactions into highly personalized, seamless experiences. My approach blends refined marketing, expert negotiation, and clear communication so my clients feel confident, informed, and expertly represented from start to finish.

I am based in Sarasota and proudly serve Florida’s Gulf Coast, partnering closely with sellers who are upsizing, downsizing, or repositioning their real estate portfolios. My sellers benefit from ethical, data-driven marketing, premium property presentation, and a proven ability to attract serious, qualified buyers.

At the same time, I work with buyers nationwide who are relocating from high-tax or cold-weather markets to Florida’s lifestyle driven communities. I provide hands on guidance, local insight, and thoughtful matching to ensure each buyer finds not just a home but the right lifestyle and long-term fit.

Honesty, integrity, and long-term relationships are the foundation of my business. More than a decade of repeat clients and referral-based success reflects the trust I build and the results I deliver.

Outside of real estate, I am deeply involved in the community, serving on local boards and committees and supporting organizations that strengthen and uplift the region. When I’m not advising clients, I enjoy a great book, cooking, watching movies, and collecting shells along Florida’s beautiful white-sand beaches.

“Kara got our house sold in 24 hours which amazed us! She was friendly, helpful and patient with us. She responded to us from the web site we had used that listed local real estate agents in the Spring. We told her that we weren't ready to list our house yet but we were just looking for information about the market. She was very helpful and did not try to convince us that we should sell right away. Then the virus hit and we decided we didn't want to put the house on the market and have people going through it. We finally decided to list it mid-August and overnight, we had 4 offers. It was incredible. She took us through the whole procedure, one step at a time and was extremely professional and efficient!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!” - cmarilyn222

“Kara was my Sherpa on my purchase of a place. I have done many RE transactions but did not know the area I was looking in well and being remote I needed someone to give me eyes and boots on the ground. Not only was Kara up to the task she proved herself invaluable in what turned out to be a "highly unusual" purchase process. She managed to keep all parties focused and moving toward end goal in a wonderfully professional way. Issues came up that were not seller, lender or financing caused but in the end it all came together with all parties have a high regard for each other. Kara was an instrumental part of making it all happen and I would not hesitate to call her up again.” - dstrasler
“Kara was extremely tentative and helpful throughout the whole process. In this current crazy seller's market, she was able to keep me grounded while remaining patient the whole time. In the end, we were able to negotiate and close on an amazing home. Couldn't ask for a better agent to close on my first home.” - Jon Choi
“Kara was a delight to work with! My husband and I bought a house while I was still out of state, which was scary already! I’m glad we had her to help my husband in a new area.

We wish we had her in Texas to sell our house there.” - zuser20170516191440374

“My wife and I purchased a lot at Grande Pointe/Inlet Beach several years ago. We decided to sell it rather than build. We were introduced to Kara and she made the sales process seamless She identified several potential buyers and advised us about terms. As out of state sellers, this transaction could have been difficult but it was easy.

“Kara did an exceptional job from beginning to end. She walked us through the process, step by step, as we were dealing with probate. She connected us with a team that made the process smooth, fast and easy. We live out of town and she helped us weather 2 hurricanes and went above and beyond to make sure our property was secured and protected by sand bagging and covering the windows. Kara is kind and knowledgeable with a professionalism I have never seen before. She is wonderful person and has been a pleasure to know.” - spanl3491

Kara was very engaged, insightful, and did a great job setting realistic expectations from start to finish. She listened to our needs and feedback and would provide thoughtful insight and suggestions accordingly. She worked hard to get us into numerous pre-listings and ultimately into the home we purchased. She was very kind, professional, appropriately aggressive, very knowledge about the community, and generous with her time. We strongly recommend using her!”” - Angela Gainer
