What We Do
MySarasotaGuide is a local resource hub for homeowners, buyers, and people relocating to Sarasota and Manatee counties. We publish practical, honest guides — not generic content — written for people who live here or are planning to.
Why We Built It
Sarasota has real quirks: flood zones that matter, an insurance market that's changed dramatically, seasonal rhythms that affect everything from traffic to home prices. We wanted a resource that tells you the truth about those things rather than burying it.
Who It's For
Whether you just bought your first home here, have owned for years, or are mid-move from another state — we try to make every guide useful to you. We cover neighborhoods, home maintenance, buying guidance, lifestyle, and the practical side of everyday life on the Suncoast.
How We Work
We don't sell listings, take referral fees, or write paid reviews. Guides are researched using local government sources, state agency data, and knowledge from longtime Sarasota residents. When something changes — and things do change here, especially after storm seasons — we update our guides.
