Ed Kanis

Your Sarasota Specialist

A licensed Florida Realtor and member of the Sarasota Association of Realtors, Ed excels in the lost art of listening to steer clients smoothly through real estate transactions.

His affiliation with WhiteSands Realty Group helps him stay on top of local market trends and inventory, while his relationships with clients drive him to deliver the property and results that match their specific needs and wants.

An east coast native, Ed earned his MBA in marketing from Rutgers and lived, worked and consulted in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, primarily in healthcare and higher education.

Prior to becoming a Sarasota real estate specialist, he directed a university-based center for strategic communication while serving as faculty in the school of journalism. The same skills that served him well in those pursuits--inherent curiosity and a passion to learn and share--give Ed an advantage in helping locals, and those that want to be, find their piece of paradise. Likewise, his business acumen comes is handy as he negotiates and navigates the legal and financial intricacies involved in buying and selling real estate in Sarasota and Siesta Key.

Whether you’re a buyer or seller, Ed can help you seal the deal and bring your real estate dreams to fruition in Sarasota, Charlotte and Manatee counties.
He gets why you want to be here and attributes his own move to Downtown Sarasota--where the marina meets Main Street--to his wife Karen. A road warrior, she came home after many a trip to the sunshine state determined to trade her Canadian roots and Indianapolis winters for the year-round pleasures of warm, clear water, big city cultural attractions and small town conveniences, plus that laid back lifestyle of the gulf coast.

It was an easy sell and Ed bought it.
