About Jo Lee
Luxury Home & Waterfront Specialist | Costa Living | RE/MAX Alliance Group For those seeking more than just a home—whether along the water or within Florida’s most sought-after communities—Jo-Lee Mansfield delivers a level of insight, strategy, and execution that sets her apart. As the founder of Costa Living and a luxury home and waterfront specialist with RE/MAX Alliance Group, she serves buyers and sellers across Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties with a highly communicative, results-driven approach. With over a decade of real estate experience and more than $100 million in closed transactions, along with 90+ five-star reviews, Jo-Lee has built her reputation on trust, consistency, and results. Her background in new construction provides a distinct advantage, offering clients an insider’s understanding of builder processes, contract nuances, and the importance of strong representation—whether building from the ground up or purchasing a resale. Today, she brings that same level of expertise to single-family homes and condominiums, guiding clients with clarity and confidence. Her background in marketing and design—shaped by her studies at the Savannah College of Art and Design—ensures properties are positioned to stand out while also helping buyers recognize opportunity, envision potential, and unlock added value through thoughtful updates or renovations. Known for her calm, solutions-driven style, Jo-Lee provides a steady presence throughout every stage of the process. Her high level of communication keeps clients informed, prepared, and confident, creating a seamless and elevated experience from start to finish. What truly sets Jo-Lee apart is her authentic connection to waterfront living. Having grown up along the saltwater rivers of Charleston, life on the water has always been second nature. Now based on Florida’s Gulf Coast, she spends her time boating, scalloping, and exploring the waterways that define the region. This firsthand experience translates into a deep understanding of boating access, water depth, tides, and the subtle yet important differences between coastal communities—insight that proves invaluable when navigating waterfront real estate. Costa Living was built on a philosophy she lives daily: build a lifestyle you don’t need to vacation from. For Jo-Lee, real estate is about more than property—it’s about helping clients create a life that feels both elevated and effortless. Whether representing a primary residence, second home, or investment property, Jo-Lee delivers a tailored experience defined by strategy, integrity, and a genuine commitment to her clients’ success.

Best experience with a realtor!

Best experience with a realtor!

I had a property owned by me and two brothers. We lived in three different states and only I was half a year in Florida. Our property needed several fixes before it could be sold and I wasn’t always able to be on sight. Jo-Lee helped with numerous issues In construction,obtaining necessary items from the condo association and others. We could not have put it on the market without her!Then she sold it quickly. A great experience! I can’t recommend Jo-Lee any higher. A great person to boot.

Jo Lee has now done five real estate deals for us here in the Holmes Beach area. She is by far the most knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy agent I have ever worked with. She is also always available when you need her. Every transaction has been made easy for us due to her work ethic.

Amazing Realtor

Working with Jo-Lee as our listing agent in Florida was an excellent experience from start to finish. She is extremely knowledgeable about the development we sold in and had a strong grasp on all the comparable sales and active listings. Jo-Lee pulled thorough market data to support our pricing decisions and guide us confidently through the process as sellers. The transaction was smooth thanks to her attention to detail and communication. Since we are located in Minnesota, she went above and beyond by coordinating with a handyman for small repairs and managing the remote closing process seamlessly. On top of her professionalism and expertise, Jo-Lee is genuinely kind, patient, and a joy to work with. If you’re looking to buy or sell property in the Anna Maria Island area, we highly recommend Jo-Lee. You’ll be in great hands.

What a fabulous representative for Costa Living

What a fabulous representative for Costa Living

Well where do you start with Jo-Lee? There are so many positive things to say about her! We had engaged several realtors to search for a home for us and had almost given up when ( fortunately ) we stumbled across Jo-Lee. From day one we had confidence in her - her professional but very friendly approach was much appreciated. It didn’t take long for us to become confident with the answers she gave to our sometimes difficult questions. She worked tirelessly for us in our search and on many occasions went above and beyond what we would have expected. After several days we found the property that we wanted and again Jo-Lee stepped up! She saw us through from start to finish with initial negotiations to final agreement! She went further and assisted with lawyers - banks and even set up our new US cel phone ( we are from UK and had to get one for payment of bills). Now that’s amazing service for you - thanks so much Jo-Lee you are an absolute credit to your profession
