About Christopher Costello

Chris possesses a deep expertise in Florida’s complex insurance landscape, refined through over eight years of owning a top-performing, award-winning insurance agency in Southwest Florida. His agency’s outstanding performance was matched by its dedication to delivering unrivaled customer service—an attribute that reflects Chris’s unwavering commitment to his clients’ well-being.

Transitioning seamlessly into real estate, Chris applies the same core values that fueled his success in insurance—honesty, integrity, accountability, and an unrelenting commitment to his clients. Those values have quickly elevated him into the top 1% of Realtors in Florida, earning him recognition as the #46 individual RE/MAX agent statewide for 2024 and induction into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame.

As a born-and-raised Florida native and proud Lakewood Ranch resident, Chris understands that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s a life-changing event. With a focus on building meaningful relationships, he serves as a tireless advocate for his clients, ensuring every experience is transparent, stress-free, and rewarding.

Chris’s deep local knowledge spans every corner of Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota, from the vibrant energy of Waterside Place to the gated elegance of Country Club East. His digital marketing strategies, which generate over 50,000+ weekly listing views, and his ability to combine insurance expertise with real estate insight, give his clients a true competitive edge—whether buying, selling, or investing.

Chris resides in Lakewood Ranch with his wife, Francis, daughter Emilia, and their golden retriever, Coco. Together, they embrace the area’s coastal lifestyle—boating, exploring local restaurants, and strolling through downtown shops. His genuine love for the community fuels his passion for helping others call Lakewood Ranch home.
