So finden Sie den besten Immobilienmakler in Treasure Island, FL
There is no official ranking of realtors or real estate agents in Treasure Island, FL, so the best realtor for you is the one whose license checks out, who answers the questions below without looking them up, and who shows you the local numbers behind any price opinion. Team BeachSide’s checklist for choosing a Treasure Island agent follows, and it works whether you hire us or someone else.
Step 1: Check the license
Florida real estate sales associates and brokers are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com lets you search by name, license number, city or county, or license type. Run the agent’s name, confirm the record comes up, and check that the brokerage on the record matches their marketing.
Step 2: Ask questions that reveal local knowledge
The best real estate agent for a barrier island already knows these answers:
- How many Treasure Island sales have you handled in the last two years?
- What is the median sale price for Treasure Island condos and homes, and where does that number come from?
- How do you handle a home that received a substantial damage letter after Helene or Milton?
- Which condo buildings here have a structural integrity reserve study on file, and how do you check?
- In which Treasure Island zoning districts can a unit be rented short term?
- What does the agreement I sign cover, and how does it end?
What a Treasure Island real estate agent must know
Flood zones and elevation. An elevation certificate shows the lowest floor relative to base flood elevation, which drives flood insurance pricing and what an owner can do with the home later. Your agent should ask for the elevation certificate, storm repair permits, any substantial damage letter, and the flood disclosure required under section 689.302. Repairs at or above 50 percent of the structure’s market value can require the home to meet current flood and building rules.
Insurance. For Treasure Island single-family homes, the median federal flood premium was $5,071 a year for policies effective September 2025 through August 2026, and the median condo unit owner flood policy was $887, according to Team BeachSide’s review of FEMA policy data. Premiums vary from home to home, so get wind and flood quotes before you offer.
Condo SIRS and reserves. Florida law requires a structural integrity reserve study for residential condo buildings three habitable stories or higher. Associations that existed on or before July 1, 2022 had to complete one by December 31, 2025, and for budgets adopted on or after December 31, 2024, an association that must obtain a SIRS may no longer vote to waive or reduce reserves for the items in the study. Team BeachSide’s SIRS status list by building shows which Treasure Island buildings have a matching DBPR filing. Ask for the SIRS, the milestone inspection report, the budget and any pending special assessments before you write an offer.
The short-term rental rule. Treasure Island’s rule depends on the zoning district. The city’s Community Development department states that tourist dwellings are not permitted in the RU-75 single-family or RM-15 multifamily districts, and are permitted with no restriction on changes of occupancy in the CG, RFM-30, RFH-50, PR-MU Core and PR-MU Gulf Boulevard districts. In those two districts, the city presumes a property is a tourist dwelling if it is advertised for rent or has more than two changes of occupancy in 12 months in RU-75, or more than six in RM-15. Condo associations can set longer minimums than the city, so the building’s documents matter as much as the zoning map.
Seawalls and docks. On the canal isles, a general home inspection usually does not cover the seawall. Your agent should recommend a separate marine inspection and ask the seller for permits and final inspections for the wall, dock, lift and electrical work. Minimum rebuild heights have changed since the 2024 storms, so ask whether a wall needing major repair must be rebuilt higher.
Recent Treasure Island sales numbers
Any agent you interview should be able to quote figures like these and say where they came from. Team BeachSide’s figures from Stellar MLS, sales from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, with listings counted on October 8, 2026, from our Treasure Island real estate guide:
- Condos: 82 closed sales, median sale price $342,500, median 80 days on market, 79 active listings, 11.6 months of supply.
- Single-family homes: 98 closed sales, median sale price $1,000,000, median 111 days on market, 55 active listings, 6.7 months of supply.
Our Treasure Island home value and selling guide covers how those numbers apply to a sale.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Who is the best realtor in Treasure Island?
There is no official ranking of Treasure Island realtors. Look for a current DBPR license, recent Treasure Island transactions, and clear answers on flood zones, insurance, condo reserves, the rental rule and seawalls. Team BeachSide is one local option; interview more than one agent and choose the one who answers with sources.
How do I check if a Florida real estate agent is licensed?
Use the DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com. Search by name or license number and confirm the record matches the agent and brokerage.
Is a Realtor the same as a real estate agent?
Not always. The National Association of Realtors says the Realtor trademark identifies its members, who follow its Code of Ethics, and only members can call themselves Realtors. Either way, confirm the agent’s Florida license on the DBPR search.
What should a Treasure Island agent know about short-term rentals?
The zoning district decides it. The city says tourist dwellings are not permitted in RU-75 or RM-15 and are permitted in CG, RFM-30, RFH-50, PR-MU Core and PR-MU Gulf Boulevard. Condo rules can add longer minimums.
