About Brad Born
and raised in Sarasota County, I am a third
generation Licensed Real Estate Broker residing in
the Venice/ Nokomis/Englewood area. I spent a
lot of my youth boating and fishing the local
waterways from Tampa Bay to Boca Grande Pass
searching for the famous Silver King (Tarpon).
I’ve watched and been part of the amazing growth and
development in Sarasota County. I did explore
outside the area and drive across the country twice
to live in Santa Cruz, California each time finding
I would rather live in Sunny South West Florida,
even though Santa Cruz is rated as one of the most
beautiful places to live in the US. The giant
Redwood trees grow all the way down to the Pacific
Ocean in Santa Cruz. Still much of my family
lives in the area and works in the Real Estate
profession, making my career path an easy decision.
To this day when I’m not helping people sell and buy
Real Estate you can find me on the water enjoying
what this area is all about, Sun, Sand and Water.
Check out all the interesting info about fishing and
boating on my website. Come and see me anytime
for a boat ride in our local waters we just might
find a Silver King.
