Jeff is a true local, having moved with his family to Sanibel and Captiva in the mid-80s where he started first grade at Sanibel Elementary. Growing up, fishing, playing and enjoying the islands has given Jeff a unique insight into the islands that he knows like the back of his hand. Very few can offer as much in-depth knowledge of Southwest Florida and especially Sanibel and Captiva as he can. From the island, Jeff went on to graduate from the University of Florida earning a bachelor's degree in finance with a minor in economics. He continued on to earn a master's in finance with a specialization in real estate from the University of Florida. In 1997, Jeff was honored by being accepted for an internship with United States Sen. Connie Mack in Washington, D.C., representing Florida. Jeff was hired directly out of college and became a loan officer for Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. In addition to his educational accomplishments, Jeff has also taken an active role in the community. Jeff served six years on the Sanibel and Captiva Island Association of REALTORS® board of directors, including four of those years as its treasurer. He also served on the associations MLS, Grievance and Ethics committees. Jeff is also an instructor for the Sanibel and Captiva Island Association of REALTORS®, teaching a class on beaches and waterways to fellow REALTORS® looking for their Sanibel and Captiva Islands Specialist designation. Jeff is also active in the community, serving on the board of directors for Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW), has served on the board of directors for People United to Restore our Rivers and Estuaries (PURRE) and has also worked with Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF).

We recently had the pleasure of working with Jeff & Tiffany with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty in Sanibel, Florida, and I cannot express how grateful we are for the outstanding service they provided throughout the entire home buying process. From start to finish, their expertise, dedication, and genuine care for our needs made this journey both smooth and enjoyable.
Right from our first meeting, it was evident that they were not just knowledgeable about the local market but also took the time to truly understand our preferences, priorities, and budget constraints. They listened attentively to our wish list and crafted a personalized strategy to find us the perfect home. It was refreshing to work with someone so attuned to our needs and desires. Their ability to identify potential properties that matched our criteria was truly impressive. Each home presented to us felt like a tailored selection, saving us valuable time in our search. Moreover, they were always available to answer any questions, promptly returning calls and emails, which further emphasized their commitment to providing exceptional service.
During property viewings, they demonstrated a keen eye for detail, pointing out both the merits and potential drawbacks of each home. Their honest and transparent approach allowed us to make informed decisions without any pressure. Additionally, his in-depth knowledge of the local market trends and negotiation skills proved invaluable in securing the best deal for us. Once we found the perfect home, the support didn't end there. They assisted us in the negotiation process, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinating with other parties involved, such inspectors, to ensure everything was on track.
What sets Jeff, Tiffany, and their company apart is their unwavering commitment to their clients' happiness and satisfaction. Their thoughtfulness and follow-up were truly heartwarming. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff & Tiffany Burns to anyone searching for their dream home. Their exceptional professionalism, genuine care for clients, and comprehensive understanding of the real estate market make them stand out as a top-notch agency. If you want a seamless, stress-free home buying experience, look no further!
Tiffany and Jeff have helped us several times to purchase and sell properties on Sanibel island and around the Fort Myers areas. The reason we keep using them is simply because they are the BEST of the best! Their knowledge about the industry and the region, their service, including after purchase follow up's and helps, their team, you name it, everything outshines all others. Give them a try you will find out how lucky and happy you will be to use them as your agents!
Jeff & Tiffany were totally professional, knowledgeable, and responsive from listing through closing. They and their team were organized, always kept track of dates and kept us posted the entire process. Her contacts were deep and responsive in helping with any needed work following the inspection to insure that closing was on track.
It was a pleasure working with Tiffany & Jeff….she was very knowledgeable and accommodating - returned our phone calls promptly….helped us work thru some difficult situations with a prior client - her whole office was on top of everything and helped us sort thru so much - we think Tiffany & Jeff are the best agents on Sanibel….she really knows that island!
Jeff & Tiffany did an absolutely amazing job helping us with our purchase of an "as is" post-Ian house! They were responsive to all our questions and concerns, a savvy negotiator who deftly got the deal done, and has already proved himself a tremendous resource as we move forward with necessary repairs. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years. This transaction was by far the trickiest and Jeff & Tiffany are by far the best agents we have ever worked with.
Tiffany is very knowledgeable as to the real estate opportunities in the Sanibel, Captiva and surrounding areas. She responds quickly and will take whatever time is necessary to answer your questions or concerns. Tiffany cares about her clients and works diligently to help whether you are buying or selling. I would highly recommend her and Jeff along with their entire team. Tiffany understands home construction and provided valuable knowledge both in purchasing a home and also in selling a home.
