About Florida Real Estate Places

Tamara J. “Tami” Beckel, Broker of Florida Real Estate Places, began her real estate career in 1992. After earning a reputation for exceptional client service, she purchased her first real estate brokerage near Disney World in 1998.
Over the years, Tami has served as Broker of Record for seven real estate brokerages located across both coasts of Central and South Florida. Her experience spans a wide range of markets, property types, and client needs, including residential sales, coastal waterfront properties, owner-occupied homes, vacation homes, and specialized short-sale services. She has also held a Florida Notary Public License since 2007.
Today, Tami proudly serves Sarasota, Florida, bringing more than 30 years of real estate experience and over 30 years of experience working with stigmatized properties. She is also the founder and director of several nonprofit paranormal organizations, including the Sarasota, Key West, and Ohio State Paranormal Societies, where she has helped families navigate highly unique and sensitive situations.
At Florida Real Estate Places, we are prepared to assist with all types of residential properties, including stigmatized homes with a negative history, past tragedy, criminal activity, or reported paranormal activity.

About Florida Real Estate Places
Real estate buyers in Sarasota County, Florida need more than access to listings. They need local guidance, market insight, and representation that protects their interests from the first showing to the closing table. At Florida Real Estate Places, services for buyers include property searches tailored to your goals, private showings, market analysis, offer strategy, negotiation, contract guidance, inspection coordination, and support through financing, contingencies, and closing. Whether you are buying a primary residence, seasonal home, waterfront property, condo, or investment property, we help you move through the process with clarity and confidence.
Because Sarasota County offers a wide range of communities and lifestyles, buyer representation also means helping you narrow down the right fit. We guide buyers through considerations such as neighborhood location, HOA and condo association factors, flood zones, insurance concerns, resale value, rental potential, and long-term suitability. From Sarasota and Siesta Key to Lakewood Ranch, Palmer Ranch, Venice, and surrounding areas, our goal is to help you make an informed purchase with strong advocacy at every step.

Florida Real Estate Places is actively accepting additional homes for real estate sales, including properties that have experienced a tragedy or carry a stigma. We are fully equipped to handle hard-to-sell homes and are prepared to assist with all types of residential real estate.
