Helping you find your dream home on Florida’s Suncoast. Whether you’re relocating, moving up for your family, selling, or buying a seasonal home, I’ll guide you personally, in English or Romanian.
Welcome! I’m Anca Garner, a passionate REALTOR® serving Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding Suncoast. I’m here to help you navigate the real estate market with expertise, empathy, and dedication. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about real estate, you’re in the right place.
I was born in Romania and chose Florida as the place to build my life. Today I live here with my husband and our two young children, so I understand that a home is about more than square footage. It’s about community, schools, and the life you want to build.
After helping buyers get the keys across Southwest Florida, I’ve moved my business to Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch. It’s an area I love for its beaches, culture and family-friendly communities, and a place many people are moving to from up north and abroad.
I bring a commitment to personalized service. My clients say I’m patient, easy to reach (even on weekends), and that I never pressure. I explain every step, especially for first-time buyers, and I negotiate hard on your behalf. Whether you’re relocating from across the country or across the ocean, I’ll guide you in English or Romanian.

Romanian copy: Anca to review
★★★★★ 5-star reviews from buyers I helped in my previous Southwest Florida market.
“Anca was an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time home buyers, she did a great job of explaining the entire process to us. She was very easy to reach when we had questions, even on the weekend. She did a great job negotiating with the seller on our behalf and she also recommended a fantastic Home Inspector who was unbelievably thorough. We are so grateful that we were able to work with Anca as our realtor. We would happily recommend her to anyone. Thank you Anca!”
“Outstanding work ethics and professionalism. Great human being. No pressure. Her goal was for us to find the perfect home. It did not matter how many homes we went to see, she always expressed how important it was for her to find the right home for us. It was a pleasure to work with her. I will use her services for future real estate transactions.”
“I can’t thank my realtor enough for helping me through the home buying process! From start to finish, she was patient, knowledgeable, and always made sure I understood every step. Buying a home can be stressful, but she made the experience feel smooth and exciting. I truly appreciate all the hard work, communication, and dedication she put into helping me become a homeowner. Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“I had a wonderful experience working with Anca. She was incredibly patient and always took the time to make sure all of my questions were answered clearly and thoroughly. She was very quick to follow through and respond whenever I needed assistance. She truly went the extra mile to help. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to assist made a big difference. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
