Shauna Vitale is a Sarasota County native who turned her passion for real estate into a working reality after spending nearly two decades in the legal field. As a former Florida Registered Paralegal, Shauna learned invaluable experience, which she has been able to pass on to her clients, and fine-tuned skills that are uncommon among most real estate agents. Shauna’s unique background has afforded her the ability to successfully guide her customers through their transactions with clear communication and unwavering guidance. Over the course of Shauna’s career as a civil litigation paralegal, she’s had the benefit of observing and learning from top negotiators, understanding the intricacies of contracts and being privy to commercial business practices, which she has been able to seamlessly apply to her real estate endeavors. When formalizing contracts and submitting offers, Shauna’s thoroughness and attention to detail are unmatched. You’ll often find Shauna asking questions on behalf of her customers, that others have not thought to ask. Shauna is a problem-solver by nature, and her ability to strategize, creatively negotiate and find innovative solutions that benefit all parties is what sets her apart in her industry.

Over the past ten years, Shauna has worked as an advocate for our local seniors and truly enjoys representing them now, with their real estate needs. When it comes to clients, Shauna loves working with both buyers and sellers, and represents them with the highest level of professionalism as she strives to make each customer feel like her only customer. Whether she’s representing buyers who desire to purchase vacant land to build their dream home, or a luxury beachfront town-home where they can retire watching the sun set into the Gulf of Mexico from their balcony, or perhaps sellers who have decided to put their single-family homes, full of childhood memories on the market for a new family to enjoy, her customers will get the same and consistent level of exceptional white-glove service, which includes prompt and constant communication. Shauna’s philosophy aligns perfectly with the Engel & Völkers culture of competence, exclusivity and passion.

During the early years of her legal career, Shauna also worked as a real estate title closer. With years of title experience, Shauna understands the title process from inception to finality, and can confidently educate her buyers and sellers on the process so there are no questions left unanswered. Shauna strives for her clients to feel and experience full transparency in their real estate transactions.

Raised in Venice, Shauna has watched her community, and its surrounding cities, transform into blossoming gulf-side towns and she is eager to share their distinctive charm with potential residents. Being a native to the area, Shauna has spent a lifetime cultivating and nurturing relationships with some of our most valued local businesses; and therefore has proven to be quite the resource to her customers. Consistency and continuity of representation is important to Shauna when referring her customers to trusted business partners.

Shauna currently resides in South Sarasota County with her husband of ten years, who is a Venice native, and her two daughters. Shauna’s husband, Eddie is a certified captain and has the pleasure of training new boaters and offering fishing charters to showcase the beauty of our community. In true Floridian fashion, Shauna and her family have always and continue to enjoy what our coastline has to offer and you can find them on their boat fishing or scalloping, taking their airboat out to look for alligators, or exploring our local natural parks. Shauna has also shared her love for biking with her children and if you see them on the Legacy Trail, be sure to say “hello!”
