Brian Partie
Broker Associate
Brian Partie is a Broker Associate and strategic luxury real estate advisor with more than 12 years of experience navigating the Gulf Coast's most coveted residential and investment markets. With more than $55 million in personal sales and executive oversight of more than half a billion dollars in sales volume, Brian brings an unmatched combination of market depth, investment acumen, and executive leadership to every client relationship. A trusted authority across Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast Corridor, Brian's expertise spans Greater Sarasota and Manatee County—including the world-renowned barrier islands of Longboat Key, Lido Key, Bird Key, Anna Maria, and Siesta Key—as well as Greater Venice and South County, Greater Tampa, and St. Petersburg. His regional fluency allows him to guide discerning buyers, sellers, and investors with precision across the full spectrum of the Gulf Coast market.
Before focusing exclusively on personal sales, Brian served in C-suite and director-level roles for multiple brokerage organizations, where he led strategic growth, talent development, and multi-divisional operations across Florida and Michigan. His markets were recognized as the fastest-growing in Florida and among the most successful nationally—a track record that reflects not just production, but leadership at the highest level.
Brian's investment expertise is equally distinguished. With a background overseeing more than 100 managed properties—including vacation homes, short-term rentals, and long-term annuals—he brings a rare, investor-level perspective to every transaction. He regularly advises clients on 1031 Exchanges, cap-rate performance, ROI analysis, and multi-property portfolio strategy, ensuring financial interests are protected at every stage.
His academic foundation reinforces his consultative approach. Brian holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Science in Administration (Organizational Communication) from Central Michigan University—credentials that underpin his ability to manage complex transactions with clarity and precision.
Brian holds two professional designations: the RSPS (Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist), reflecting deep expertise in luxury vacation and secondary-home markets, and the C2EX (Commitment to Excellence) endorsement from the National Association of REALTORS®, recognizing mastery in ethics, professionalism, and technology.
His commitment to the industry extends well beyond the transaction. Brian serves on the statewide Board of Directors for Florida REALTORS® and is the 2026 Chair of Public Policy for the REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee (RASM), where he also serves on the Finance Committee—advocating for property rights, professional standards, and sustainable growth across the Gulf Coast region.
At Douglas Elliman, Brian is proud to pair his deep local expertise with the reach and prestige of America's premier luxury real estate brand—delivering an elevated experience for clients who expect nothing less.
