In a real estate landscape dominated by listing sites offering little context or connection (think “Sales” or “Realtor” .com), finding the perfect place on Longboat Key requires something more nuanced: local knowledge. That’s where The Bruce Myer Group stands apart.
Bruce Myer (brucemyer.com) and his son, Chase Myer (chasemyer.com), bring decades of firsthand experience to every client. A recognized leader in the Longboat Key and Sarasota marketplace since 1980, Bruce has witnessed the island’s evolution firsthand. Chase, who grew up in the area and now lives on Longboat Key (LBK), offers generational perspective paired with a sharp understanding of today’s buyers.
The Myers know the island intuitively — which stretches of beach deliver unobstructed Gulf sunsets, which communities prioritize privacy, and which buildings allow pets, a rarity on LBK. These details don’t appear in an online search. Just as important, they take time to understand how each client wants to live.
Many relocating buyers from the Midwest, New England, California, or New York arrive seeking Gulf views and simplicity. “They want lock-and-leave living and ease of maintenance,” Chase says. Some gravitate toward elevated, resort-style amenities — 24/7 concierge service, wine lockers, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, and expansive pools. In those cases, Chase may recommend L’Ambiance, known for its refined luxury Florida lifestyle.
Other buyers prioritize flexibility, particularly the option to offset ownership costs through rentals. Beachplace often fits that goal, thanks to its rental-friendly policies and prime beachfront location.
“Many of our clients are already familiar with Longboat, whether through family, friends, or decades of vacationing here, and are ready to find a place of their own,” Chase notes. “They’re drawn to its unique balance.” Unlike other Gulf Coast barrier islands, Longboat Key offers a rare blend of seclusion, privacy, and sophisticated coastal living.
Some first-time buyers seek a foothold — proximity to the sand, sunset views, and a low-maintenance entry into island life without reaching the highest tier of the market. At the other end of the spectrum, buyers accustomed to global resort brands find developments like The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort aligned with their expectations.
Across every price point, Bruce and Chase remain focused on listening closely and guiding each client toward the part of Longboat Key that best fits the life they want to live.
