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.
Together, Steve and Shannon provide a hands-on, detail-driven experience from the first conversation through closing. They believe clients should never feel left to navigate the process alone. Whether preparing a home for the market, evaluating an offer, negotiating terms, or managing the many details leading to closing, the team remains closely involved—offering clear communication, thoughtful advice, and steady guidance at every stage.
