A second-generation Realtor who traded Rochester winters for the Gulf Coast, and treats every client’s move like his own.

The Short Version

Local Knowledge, Straight Answers, Real Results

Rich Tyson grew up in Rochester, New York, and comes from a family of Realtors. He spent more than a decade in the business up north before following the sun to Florida’s Gulf Coast, where he now lives with his wife, their daughter, and two Boston terriers.

That background gives Rich something a lot of Sarasota agents can’t offer: he genuinely knows both ends of the move. He still owns a real estate brokerage in New York, but his focus and his heart are here, helping people land somewhere that feels like home from day one.

He holds a Luxury Homes Certification along with the GRI, RSPS, e-Pro, and SFR designations, and he backs all of it with a simple promise he calls RISE.
