Get to Know Tina Hannaford
Hi there, I'm Tina — your Luxury Collection Specialist based in beautiful Sarasota. Real estate isn’t a hobby for me — it’s my full-time passion and lifelong career. Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of sellers move forward and buyers find their dream homes in both Sarasota and Arizona.
If your home didn’t sell the first time, watch out — I’m probably the one knocking on your door! I specialize in helping expired listings finally get sold through smart strategy, expert pricing, and white-glove service.
Sure, I’ve won awards — but who wants to hear all that? What really matters is that I take immense pride in my work and, most importantly, in my listings. I never treat your home like a widget (like some agents do). I treat it as if it were my own.
I’m easy to talk to, focused on results, and fiercely protective of my clients’ equity. Let’s have a conversation — because elevating your home sale is what I do best.
Oh, I’ll just stop here. Check out my website — it’ll give you everything you need to know, plus a few love-filled client testimonials. The proof’s in the pudding, as they say. 😉
And on a personal side? You’ll often find me down at the beach, gazing out at the ocean and letting that salty breeze take over… oh wait, back to reality — I’ve got two sweet boys (my pups, Charlie and Georgie 🐾) and an awesome husband who keeps me grounded and laughing.

| A True Blessing! 🚩🚩🚩Are you looking for an impressive realtor? 🚩🚩🚩 Look NO further. You found her, she's Tina Hannaford, and before you think otherwise, just hear why we, think she is. First and foremost, it has been almost 30 years since we have sold or bought a home, and to say we were overwhelmed is an understatement. We obviously had an idea where to start, but it wasn't your "normal" circumstances. It was my late 102-year-old Aunt's house who resides in Arizona, and I, on the other hand, live in Ohio. Tina was highly recommended by previous neighbors of my aunt, due to the complexities of our situation, we also interviewed two other realtors. We clearly decided to go with Tina due to her beautiful personality, her knowledge of real estate, and how well she knew the market in Sun City West, Arizona. Do you know what really sealed the deal for me? As she was walking out, she said, "Hey Kim, can you tell me a little about your aunt, and do you have any pictures?" As I teared up, I went back in the house, I got pictures and told her a little about her. Tina kept in contact with us daily via phone and email, informing us constantly of everything going on. She had open houses and showings. She shows true passion in her job and what she does. It is not just a job for her. She cares for the house and the people. She even talked with auntie from the other side.🤣 We knew the house was in good hands with Tina. We trusted her completely, and so should you, whether it is to buy or to sell. You won't regret your decision! A+++++ Kimberly Laurenti |

| My situation was that I had a really nice home that I had been trying to sell for over a year and I thought I knew what I was doing but after 4 failed contracts, and 3 real estate agents later, I was forced to stop everything, take the house off the market, and re-evaluate things. I needed an experienced and qualified agent to use a reliable process with the best resources and find the most qualified buyers. After a month of interviewing the top agent picks, my partner and I were very impressed with the detailed marketing plan Tina Hannaford (Berkshire Hathaway) presented to us. It was clear what she intended to do and the buyer profile she was going to target. Times were very stressful financially for me and my partner, as we had planned to have the home sold a long time ago. Hiring Tina was the right choice because she understood we had no time to waste. We were selling the house to finance building a new home, and already had commitments financially. So we expressed that selling quickly is important to us. She wasted no time and was showing the property to people before we even put it back on the market. She kept true to the plan that she presented, and it was classy and professional all the way. She even hosted a wine and cheese open house. That effort and efficiency led to a quick offer, and before we knew it, we were in contract and with a fair price too. Tina was amazing, the way she knew the market, and knew where to look for the right buyer. She came in to sell a home with a checkered past, and did it in less than 30 days. I had spent more than 365 days trying to do it with other agents before her. I wish I had met her sooner. I could have saved a lot of stress. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Tina. She will take charge of the situation and manage it the right way in order to get things done. I am giving her the highest score of stars and then some more. She really saved us, and now we are moving on to bigger and better things. Thank you so much, Tina! Gary Avedovech |

| We are so thankful we chose Tina to sell our home! She carefully chooses listings to represent, personally managing the entire process while making you feel like her only client. Tina exceeded our expectations in timeline, price, and customer service. She brings extensive knowledge and enthusiasm, but her compassion and understanding are what set her apart. Thank you, Tina!

| Better late than never! I am grateful! I woke up to an unsolicited client review early this morning and literally had tears streaming down my face. This was a house that I sold back in May, and this sweet couple said that they would send a review once they got settled in, and here it is. "Tina, so sorry for our late, late review. It's been crazy. So Tina, here's our long-awaited review. Rickey said, "Good things come to those who wait." You've heard the old adage, "Usually the first impression is the last impression. And that's what we will always remember about our first encounter with you regarding selling our home. You were very sincere, transparent, honest, caring and very, very professional. You have a very endearing quality of being empathetic when you were dealing with us. And Tina, we had no doubt that you were going to sell our home for what it was worth, for fair market value. You represented our home as though it were your own dwelling place. And you treated me like I was a king and my wife was my queen. And the personal interests that you showed us were amazing and truly appreciated. Your self-integrity and honesty are innate qualities that can't be taught. We know you'll keep up the good work in your real estate business, but just keep in mind there's only one Tina and certainly only one Rickey and Jerri. We'll never find another real estate agent like you. And you certainly will never find another Rickey and Jerri like us. Thank you for all that you did for us in selling and showcasing our home like it was a mansion. Take care and we will never forget you. Ricki and Jerri Williams |

| My sister and I were selling our homes at the same time. I heard her frustration several times and decided to choose a different realtor! I think it was a “God” thing because meeting and working with Tina was such a positive experience. Not only was the marketing of my home so superior to many homes I saw, but Tina kept us in the loop every step of the process. Her commitment to customer service is unparalleled and refreshing. We knew exactly what was happening at all times with no surprises. I would never consider using anyone but Tina for my real estate needs and am confident in highly recommending her to all my family and friends. Vicki Meyer |

| Tina, from the moment you walked up and introduced yourself, it was clear that your personality shines better than my ceramic-coated motorcycle. After having a brief conversation in my kitchen, I knew I would select you as my agent and regret not finding you sooner. It’s apparent that you’re an exceptional person who is smart and fun to be around, and that you build relationships and not just customers. You know your business better than most, which allows you to see and explain to the customer what’s in their best interest. This is my 4th home I have sold, and it has been the best experience when you came to help. The proof is in the pudding, and oh boy, does it taste sweet! You knew the moment you went through my home what you wanted to do, and the excitement was contagious because I believed in you and your statements, and you stayed true to your words. My only regret is that I didn’t hire you sooner to sell my home because it wasn’t selling. Thank you doesn’t seem like a strong enough word. David Morin |

| Tina was excellent at selling our cabin at Munds Park. She was very organized, responsive to our questions, and did a great job finding true, comparable properties like ours. Our property sold in just over 3 weeks. We would recommend using Tina again. Tom and Emilie Sabol. |
