#1 SMALL TEAM IN SARASOTA/MANATEE COUNTIES
The Abbe | Rocha Real Estate Team is built on legacy, leadership, and a shared commitment to excellence. Led by Steve Abbe and his daughter, Shannon Rocha, this generational partnership combines decades of experience with a modern approach to real estate—giving every client the benefit of trusted guidance, thoughtful strategy, and highly personalized service.
Steve’s leadership was shaped long before his career in real estate. A former United States Marine Corps officer, he later served as the golf professional at The Oaks Club, one of the Sarasota area’s most prestigious private clubs. These experiences instilled the discipline, integrity, and calm decision-making that have defined his approach to serving clients throughout his real estate career.
A Sarasota native, Shannon built a successful career in the competitive medical sales industry throughout Tampa and St. Petersburg. Ultimately, her connection to her hometown—and her desire to put her skills to work in the community she knows and loves—brought her back to Sarasota to join forces with her father. She brings a fresh perspective, strong communication skills, elevated marketing, and a deep respect for the reputation Steve has built.

STEVE ABBE, REALTOR AND PGA PROFESSIONAL
Experience is different than knowledge. You can know about something, but being actively engaged in it is what experience is all about. Steve’s experience in both real estate and golf is exceptional.

His passion for the game – and the communities built around it – makes him the ultimate agent for those seeking to buy or sell a home in a golf community. Additionally, Steve’s high-net-worth clients have placed him and his team as the #1 selling agents in The Oaks. Steve is a long-time resident of the area and has raised his family in Sarasota. He doesn’t just sell Sarasota and its lifestyle – he lives it!
