For his continued and outstanding success, Doug Parks was named the Top Individual Agent at Michael Saunders & Company - St. Armands offices for 2024, 2023 and 2021. He is also honored to have been nationally recognized among America’s Best by Volume, Top Real Estate Agents in Florida for 2024, as verified by RealTrends®. Doug’s commitment to customers and deeply held core values exemplify what it means to be truly exceptional in real estate. Consistently a top-producing performer with a multi-million-dollar sales volume, Doug is considered an authority on boating, waterfront, and luxury properties throughout Sarasota and her offshore islands.
Not exactly an overnight phenomenon, Doug's success in listing and selling properties - both on and off the Keys - has been developed through 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 the finer points of creating exceptional customer experiences from an early age.
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.
