Doug Parks

The 2021 Top Individual agent at Michael Saunders & Company - St Armands offices, Doug Parks’ commitment to customers and deeply held core values exemplifies what it means to be truly exceptional in real estate. A consistent top producer achieving $20 million in sales volume in 2020 and over $30 million in 2021, Doug is considered an authority on boating and waterfront properties throughout Sarasota and her offshore islands.

Not exactly an overnight phenomenon, Doug's success at listing and selling properties - both on and off the Keys - has been developed by a lifetime of customer service experience. Growing up in the small town of Port Austin, Michigan - where his family owned and operated a resort on Lake Huron – Doug’s parents ingrained in him at an early age in the finer points of creating exceptional customer experiences.

After graduating with a degree in engineering from Michigan State University, and earning his residential builder's license from the State of Michigan, Doug gained significant sales and marketing experience during his career with DTE Energy.

During one of his first visits to Sarasota, more than 30 years ago, Doug fell in love with St Armands and Lido Key, eventually settling in the area permanently in 2004. Doug combined his passion for service with his sales and marketing background to build a successful real estate business serving Sarasota, the surrounding Keys and beyond.

Whether you’re considering buying, selling or investing in real estate talk to Doug first.
