Something special is happening in Sarasota’s luxury real estate market — and it’s happening fast. VUE Realty is no longer a “new” name whispered quietly among agents. We are making a very real splash, attracting top-producing luxury professionals who recognize what others are just beginning to see: VUE Realty was built for agents who are serious about growth, brand power, and keeping 100% of what they earn.

At VUE Realty, leadership matters. Our founder, Terri Harrington, and our broker/co-owner, Christina Miller, have built this firm intentionally — not as a volume brokerage but as a high-performance, agent-first platform. Together with our leadership team, we bring over 100 years of combined real estate experience spanning luxury sales, compliance, brokerage management, marketing, and transaction execution. This isn’t theory. This is tested, proven excellence.

What sets VUE apart is not just philosophy — it’s execution.

From day one, agents step into a clear, structured onboarding system that removes friction and confusion. Licensing guidance, MLS compliance, ethics training, RASM orientation, CRM setup, Zillow and Realtor.com profiles, professional headshots, video intros, and social media activation are all part of the roadmap. We don’t leave your success to chance — we architect it.

Marketing and media are not afterthoughts here. VUE agents receive professional headshots, intro videos, property media support, social media advertising tools, internal communications, and a full 30-day real estate content calendar designed to position agents as local authorities. Branding extends beyond logos — from customized closing gifts to signage, business cards, and polished listing presentation materials that elevate your image instantly.

And when it comes to transactions, VUE Realty removes one of the biggest pain points agents face: administrative overload. Our transaction coordination services streamline contracts, compliance, inspections, appraisals, and closing timelines — reducing errors, stress, and wasted hours. That means our agents spend less time chasing paperwork and more time doing what actually grows their business: serving clients and building relationships.

Here’s the truth many agents are realizing too late: 100% commission only matters if the brokerage actually supports you. At VUE Realty, agents keep 100% of their commission and gain access to systems, mentorship, marketing, legal compliance, and operational support typically found only at high-split firms. That’s not common — and it’s why accomplished luxury agents are moving quickly.

As Director of Business Development, my role is simple: identify driven professionals who are ready to scale — and bring them into an environment built for momentum. We are selective by design. VUE Realty is growing, but we are growing with purpose.

If you are a producing agent — or an emerging luxury professional — and you feel your current brokerage is limiting your upside, your brand, or your autonomy, now is the moment to have the conversation. The agents joining VUE today are positioning themselves for where the market is going next.

Opportunities like this don’t stay quiet for long.

"Meet with us. Learn the model. Keep 100% of your commission. Build something bigger."
