Tari Waite relocated to Southwest Florida with her husband and two sons from Minnesota in 2014. After two decades of teaching and working as an editor and writer, she pursued a career in real estate so she could help others reach their dream of finding the perfect home on the beautiful Suncoast of Florida. Tari has a graduate degree in education and professional development. Her background in education has helped guide her toward her true passion for helping others, and her skills of effectively listening to the specific needs of
others set her apart. In addition to helping you find or sell your home, she will excitedly share information about all the amazing restaurants, state parks, hidden rookeries, and lesser- known kayak and paddleboard launches throughout the Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte County area. Beyond her professional pursuits, Tari volunteers with several local organizations, including Family Promise, Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, Sea Turtle Conservation & Research, and The Wildlife Center of Southwest Florida. When not working on real estate or volunteering, Tari is often exploring the beautiful natural areas of Florida, acting as a navigator for the three pilots in her family, paddleboarding, photographing nature, and occasionally rescuing or releasing rehabilitated wildlife. Tari’s commitment to helping others, attention to detail, and unwavering integrity make her a reliable and approachable REALTOR®.
