Get to Know Us

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.

LUXURY HOMES

Navigating the world of luxury real estate requires a unique blend of skills, expertise, and finesse.

They know the ins and outs of high-end neighborhoods, including upcoming listings, historical significance, and price trends. This knowledge allows them to provide clients with data-driven insights and spot opportunities that others might miss. Delivering highly personalized service, leveraging strong, long term relationships, and providing clear communication, always with the highest level of discretion and integrity, are the attributes that make the Abbe • Ross Team a leader in Sarasota’s luxury home landscape.

LISTING AND SALE IN ALL PRICE RANGES

There is more to real estate than listing a property for sale. The Abbe • Ross Team understands this and uses their experience, training and knowledge to provide the utmost professionalism to the buyers and sellers they work with. They don’t just focus on listing properties, but on marketing, managing and selling them.
