Since 1939 Wagner Realty has been a leader in our communities, committed to giving back and making a difference in the place we all call "home." Our team is deeply involved in contributing to the well-being of the region on a civic, social and professional level. Our agents and brokers serve on local non-profit boards, organize fundraisers, and volunteer for numerous and varied charities – always looking for ways to support the community through donations of time and money. We celebrate the true meaning of community.
Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the community - it's also one of the best ways to meet like-minded people. Not sure where to start? No problem! Our REALTORS® are familiar with many of the area's charitable organizations. We're involved in too many to list, but here are a few volunteer opportunities for you to explore. If you're interested in finding out more about the hundreds of local charities, a great resource is The Giving Partner website. The Giving Partner reflects many nonprofits in our community that have made a commitment to transparency by sharing in-depth information about their community impact, leadership, and financial history. The Community Foundation of Sarasota County verifies much of the information provided; each nonprofit is required to maintain an updated profile in order to be eligible for funding and other opportunities.

Your precious pooch wants and needs regular exercise, but walks around the block can get old fast. Our real estate agents recommend some of our favorite dog parks in Sarasota and Manatee Counties to share quality time with your pet in the Florida sunshine.

Living in the Sunshine State gives you plenty of opportunities to spend time outdoors and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. For many Florida residents, staying active and eating well are important priorities. Lately, people across the state are embracing the idea of "clean eating."
While this might sound like just another fad diet, it's actually a way of life that's incredibly effective for maintaining your health. In its simplest form, clean eating involves avoiding processed foods, eating balanced meals prepared in healthy ways, and ramping up your intake of plant-based foods.
Luckily, you don't have to slave away in the kitchen to enjoy eating clean. Our real estate agents have found some great clean eating restaurants throughout the Sarasota-Manatee areas! Check out this list of some of our local favorites.

When you think about moving to Florida, sun, sand, and surf most likely top your list of reasons to relocate here. But did you know Florida's call extends to horse farms, rodeos, polo fields, and thoroughbred horse racing tracks too?
Yes, "horsing around" can be added to your bucket list of things to do when you come to Southwest Florida. Moving to one of our nearby communities means you'll have the unique opportunity to enjoy equine events in cities like Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Parrish, Bradenton, and Venice.
