By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, founding partners of McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008. Brokered by Domain Realty. Updated October 2026 (data date 22 October 2026). This page is the agent-choice companion to our Sanibel and Captiva real estate guide, the two-island hub for the City of Sanibel (ZIP 33957) and Captiva Island (ZIP 33924) in Lee County. Sanibel is its own city; Captiva, across Blind Pass, is unincorporated Lee County. Each island has its own guide: our Sanibel Island guide and our Captiva Island guide.

We run the same public-record comparison in each of our markets. On the mainland side of Lee County, see our page on the best real estate agents in Fort Myers, and to the south the best real estate agents in Estero, the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs and, in Collier County, the best real estate agents in Naples.

This page is published by McGreevy and Comisar of Domain Realty; rankings reflect the criteria stated above on the data date shown.

Criteria and data date: Google Business Profile review count and rating, brokerage of record per the Florida DBPR licence record, years on the public record (the DBPR original licence date of the licensee, or of the corporation where the listing is a brokerage), office city per the Google Business Profile place page, team or solo, languages listed on the public profile, published production only where RealTrends Verified published it, and the public record ids behind every cell. All retrieved 22 October 2026. Selection rule: every real estate agent, team or agency Google Business Profile whose Google Maps place-page address is in Sanibel (ZIP 33957) or Captiva (ZIP 33924) carrying more than 10 Google reviews on the data date, plus McGreevy and Comisar by editorial choice as the publisher’s row. Ten island profiles cleared that line. Three island profiles sat at exactly 10 reviews on the data date, and the line was drawn above them so that every row on the table is there by the rule, with no tie-break. Rows are listed by Google review count on the data date, highest first.

Every cell in the table is a record, not an opinion. Where a record belongs to a corporation rather than a person, the cell says so, and where a listing was tied to a state record by name and city rather than by an identical street address, the cell says that too. Nothing on this page characterises any agent or team other than McGreevy and Comisar; the table shows the public record and the reader does the reading.

Who are the top Sanibel Island Realtors and Captiva Realtors, and how do you reach Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar?

Sanibel Island Realtors and Captiva Realtors are compared in the table above on eight public criteria, all retrieved 22 October 2026. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, the Realtors behind McGreevy and Comisar of Domain Realty, hold 241 RealTrends Verified closed sides in 2025 and 85 Google reviews at 4.9. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 or Marc at (239) 287-5873.

Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar have over 45 years of combined direct real estate experience between them. Jesse has been licensed in Florida since 4 November 2004 and Marc since 25 September 2003, and both work under Domain Realty, the brokerage behind Domain Realty Group. If you already know you want to talk about a Sanibel or Captiva sale or purchase, the direct line is the fastest route: Jesse McGreevy, (239) 898-6072.

How were the Sanibel and Captiva agents on this list selected and compared?

McGreevy and Comisar selected the Sanibel and Captiva roster by a rule fixed before the cut was made, then compared every row on the same eight criteria on one day, 22 October 2026. Nothing was ranked on private knowledge, on unverified production, or on anything a reader cannot check against a licence number or a Google listing.

Data updated: October 2026 (Google Business Profile, Florida DBPR licensee portal, RealTrends Verified, retrieved 22 October 2026).

The yardstick. For this page we tracked 913 Google local result cards returned by 13 searches for Sanibel and Captiva agents, realtors, brokers and agencies, each read page by page to the end of its results, including searches for ZIP 33957 and for Captiva by its ZIP 33924. Those cards resolved to 287 unique profiles. Eighty-one of them were real estate agent or agency profiles carrying a Sanibel or Captiva locality, and 21 of the 81 carried five or more Google reviews on 22 October 2026. The Google Maps place page of every profile at 10 or more reviews was opened to confirm the count, the rating, the category and a street address in 33957 or 33924.

Why the line sits above 10 reviews. Our larger-city comparisons use a 50-review floor. On the two islands only two agent or agency profiles carried 50 or more Google reviews on the data date and only four carried 25 or more, so a 50 or 25 floor would have produced a table of three or five rows, which compares very little. At 10 reviews and above the count was 13, more than the table’s 11 other rows allow, and the last place would have gone to one of three profiles tied at exactly 10. Drawing the line at more than 10 reviews gives 10 island profiles and the publisher’s row, 11 in all, without choosing among tied listings.

What was set aside, and why. Vacation rental agencies, condominium rental desks and resort listings with a Sanibel or Captiva locality were set aside by category, because the page compares agents who represent buyers and sellers; they were the majority of the 148 island cards. The islands’ Realtor association was set aside as a trade body. Profiles returned for Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Naples and the Pine Island area sit outside the two island ZIP codes and were not counted.

Why McGreevy and Comisar’s row is on the table. Our Google listing is addressed at the Bonita Springs headquarters on US 41, not on either island, so our row enters by editorial choice, exactly as it does on every comparison page we publish, and it is held to the same eight criteria as every other row.

What does each criterion on the Sanibel and Captiva table measure?

Each column on the Sanibel and Captiva table measures one public record a reader can open, retrieved on 22 October 2026: a Google Business Profile count, a Florida DBPR licence or corporation record, or a RealTrends Verified ranking. McGreevy and Comisar applied the same definitions to every row, their own included, and dated every cell the same day.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida DBPR licensee portal, Google Business Profile, RealTrends Verified, retrieved 22 October 2026).

  • Google reviews and rating. The count and star average displayed on the Google Business Profile on the data date. Google computes the rating as the average of all published ratings and removes reviews that break its policies, so a count is a snapshot. That is why every count on this page is dated.
  • Brokerage of record. The corporation shown on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation record, with its CQ licence number. Florida law requires a sales associate to work under a broker, and the record shows who that is. Where a listing is itself a brokerage, the cell names the corporation and notes that its state licence location is the same street address as the listing.
  • Years on the public record. Complete years from the DBPR original licence date to the data date: the licensee’s own date for an agent or team row, the corporation’s licence date for a brokerage listing. For McGreevy and Comisar both principals’ dates are shown beside the brokerage’s. A company’s licence date and a person’s licence date are different facts, and the cell says which one it is.
  • Office city. The city and ZIP on the Google Business Profile place-page address, which is the criterion that put a profile on the list. No street address from any state licence record is printed for anyone.
  • Team or solo. Read from the listing’s own name and Google category; a listing is described as it presents itself.
  • Languages. Google has no language field, so the column reads “Not checked” for every row whose public profile we did not read for languages, and names the source for the one row where languages are shown.
  • Published production. Shown only where RealTrends Verified published it for the 2025 sales year under the listing’s own name or the name of the agent behind it, cited to the Sanibel or Captiva list it came from. An absent figure means nothing was published on those lists under that name, not that nothing was sold.
  • Public record ids. The DBPR licence numbers and the Google listing behind each row, so any cell can be re-checked by anyone in about a minute.

How the table is ordered. By Google review count on the data date, highest first, which is the criterion that built the roster. Where two rows carry the same count, they are shown in the order the record supports no further, side by side.

What is deliberately not on the table. No review text from any profile other than our own. No home addresses, even where a state record carries one. No production figure that RealTrends has not published. No adjective about anyone.

Why does the island MLS structure matter when you choose a Sanibel or Captiva agent?

The Sanibel and Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS runs its own MLS, so Southwest Florida MLS sees only part of island sales; the county record is the complete one. For a buyer or seller that means two listing systems, two sets of comparables, and a reason to ask any agent how they read both.

Data updated: October 2026 (Sanibel-Captiva tree research briefing and Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, index built 21 October 2026).

Most of Southwest Florida shares one MLS. The two islands are the exception: the islands’ own Realtor association keeps its own listing service, and Southwest Florida MLS sees only part of what closes on the islands. A mainland-only data pull therefore undercounts what sold on Sanibel and Captiva, which is why every market figure on this page comes from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s recorded sales, the deeds themselves, rather than from either MLS.

Three practical questions follow for anyone hiring an agent for an island move:

  • Where will my listing appear? Ask any agent, McGreevy and Comisar included, which MLS your listing will be entered in, and how it will reach buyers and buyer’s agents who search the other system and the mainland portals.
  • Which comparables is my price built on? An island valuation should be built from recorded island sales of the same property type, not from a partial MLS pull. Ask to see the closed sales behind the number, by type, with their dates.
  • Who reaches the buyer who lives elsewhere? On the current Lee County Property Appraiser roll (export of 18 October 2026), 67 percent of Captiva Island single-family and condo parcels carry an out-of-state owner mailing address. Ask how your listing reaches buyers who are not on the island when they search.

None of this is a reason to choose one agent over another on its own. It is a reason to ask the question and to hire the agent whose answer you can check. To start with a number built on recorded sales, request a Sanibel and Captiva home valuation or call Jesse McGreevy direct at (239) 898-6072.

Which Sanibel and Captiva real estate agents have the most Google reviews in October 2026?

Google review counts on the Sanibel and Captiva table on 22 October 2026 ran from 165 at the top down to 12, and the table names each row. McGreevy and Comisar carry 85 Google reviews at a 4.9 rating, and the Domain Realty brokerage listing carried 259 at 4.8 the same day. Review counts measure feedback, not closings.

Data updated: October 2026 (Google Business Profile counts as displayed on Google Maps and in Google’s local results, retrieved 22 October 2026).

McGreevy and Comisar hold 85 Google reviews at 4.9 on the data date, up from 79 on 7 October 2026, on a profile that carries the office at 24031 S Tamiami Trl #101, Bonita Springs, FL 34134 and the direct line (239) 898-6072. The Domain Realty brokerage listing, which collects reviews for the whole brokerage, carried 259 reviews at 4.8 the same day. A separate national team profile for McGreevy and Comisar carried 103 reviews at 5.0; that figure is not in the table because the table’s criterion is the Google Business Profile only, and the point of a criteria-based page is that the criterion does not move to flatter the publisher.

The islands are a small review market. On the data date two island-addressed agent or agency profiles cleared 50 Google reviews, four cleared 25, and most of the 81 island agent and agency profiles we tracked carried fewer than five. Read that as a fact about two small islands, the City of Sanibel with 6,382 residents and the Captiva census-designated place with 318 in the 2020 Census, not as a fact about any one agent’s closings.

Two things are worth knowing before you weigh a review count. First, Google’s own help pages explain that the review score is the average of all published ratings and that Google removes reviews that break its policies, which is why counts drift and why this page carries a date on every number. Second, a review count is one platform’s record. Florida law does not require an agent to collect reviews anywhere, and plenty of experienced island agents carry small counts because their business runs on repeat owners and referrals. Read the count next to the licence date, the brokerage and the published production, not on its own.

If you want reviews you can read rather than count, the client review block further down this page quotes McGreevy and Comisar’s own verified Google reviews, and only those. This page does not quote or paraphrase a review left for anyone else.

How long have McGreevy and Comisar been licensed in Florida, and how do you check any agent’s licence?

Jesse McGreevy has held Florida licence SL3101296 since 4 November 2004 and Marc Comisar has held Florida licence BK3060671 since 25 September 2003, both Current and Active with DomainRealty.com LLC as brokerage of record, per the Florida DBPR portal on 22 October 2026. That is 21 and 23 complete years of continuous licensure.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida DBPR licensee portal, records retrieved 22 October 2026, portal results stamped current as of 21 October 2026 at 11:51 PM).

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation publishes every real estate licence at myfloridalicense.com, and checking one takes about a minute. Choose a search by name or by licence number, pick the Real Estate board, and open the record. The record shows the licence type (Sales Associate, Broker Sales Associate or Broker), the status (Current and Active is the one you want), the original licence date, the expiry date, the brokerage of record under Related License Information, and any disciplinary history. Marc Comisar’s record shows the Broker Sales rank, which means he holds a broker licence and practises as a broker associate under Domain Realty; Jesse McGreevy’s record shows Sales Associate. Both records carry the Professional Association qualification, which is the P.A. after their names.

A practical tip from building this table. A Google listing name is often a team name, a nickname or a marketing line, and the state’s name search matches only the registered name or a registered DBA. On the islands each of the ten other rows was tied to a state record, three of them by an identical street address between the listing and the corporation’s licence location, and the cells say how each tie was made. When you interview an agent, ask for the licence number. Every licensed agent has one, and with it the search is exact.

Licence tenure is a floor, not a ranking. A licence issued in 2004 proves more than two decades of standing with the state; it does not prove two decades of island closings. Read it next to the published production column, which is the only place on this page where closings appear, and only where a third party published them.

What does the Florida DBPR record show about brokerage of record on Sanibel and Captiva, and why does it matter?

Every Florida sales associate works under a licensed broker, and the DBPR record names that broker or corporation as the brokerage of record. On the Sanibel and Captiva table McGreevy and Comisar’s brokerage of record is DomainRealty.com LLC, doing business as Domain Realty, licence CQ1049052, licensed in July 2015, with Jesse McGreevy as a co-founder.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida DBPR licensee and corporation records, retrieved 22 October 2026).

Brokerage of record matters for three practical reasons. The broker is who holds your escrow deposit under Florida law, who is accountable to the Florida Real Estate Commission for the associate’s conduct, and whose name must appear in any team advertising under Rule 61J2-10.026 of the Florida Administrative Code, which is why every mention of the team on this page reads McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty. A team name that never shows its brokerage is not following the rule.

The island table shows a mix of brokerage types, and the record is neutral about all of them: island corporations whose state licence location is the same street address as their Google listing, agents and teams who work under larger regional brokerages with island branch offices, and a Florida brokerage founded by its principals. Several rows share a brokerage of record while appearing as separate Google profiles, and the table shows each one separately because each listing is its own public record. McGreevy and Comisar’s brokerage, Domain Realty, was co-founded by Jesse McGreevy in 2015 and is the brokerage behind Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012. What that means for a client is that the people whose names are on the door and the people whose licences are on the file are the same people.

The employed-by date on a DBPR record is also useful. It tells you how long an agent has been at the current brokerage. Both McGreevy and Comisar records show Domain Realty as brokerage of record since July 2015, the month the brokerage was licensed.

What are Sanibel and Captiva homes selling for in 2026, by property type?

On Lee County’s recorded sales for the 12 months October 2025 to September 2026, Sanibel single-family homes sold at a median of $1,080,000 on 243 sales and Sanibel condominiums at $725,000 on 145. Captiva Island single-family homes sold at a median of $2,275,000 on 11 sales and Captiva Island condominiums at $642,000 on 30.

Data updated: October 2026. Source: Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales (DOR-qualified improved sales, ZIP 33957), trailing 12 months October 2025 to September 2026, index built October 21, 2026, newest recorded sale September 15, 2026. Captiva Island figures: the same index, Captiva fire and erosion taxing district, same window.

The two islands are two different markets, and the county record keeps them apart. We tracked every qualified sale in the index by property type on each island, and the table below keeps the types side by side rather than blending them into one number.

Island and type, 12 months to September 2026Recorded qualified salesMedian recorded priceMedian price per heated sq ft
Sanibel, single-family243$1,080,000about $547
Sanibel, condominium145$725,000about $642
Captiva Island, single-family11$2,275,000about $1,402
Captiva Island, condominium30$642,000about $759

On Sanibel, 404 qualified sales of every type recorded a median of $900,000 beside the single-family median of $1,080,000 and the condominium median of $725,000, and 58.7 percent of those 404 sales closed under $1 million. Measured against the last year before Hurricane Ian, October 2021 to September 2022, including sales the county coded 03 (property changed after the sale), which after Hurricane Ian covered most island sales, the Sanibel single-family median moved from $1,327,500 on 214 sales to $1,080,000 on 243, about 19 percent lower, and the Sanibel condominium median from $875,000 on 201 sales to $725,000 on 145, about 17 percent lower.

On Captiva Island the sample is small, so the county record supports one trend statement: condominium sales doubled, from 15 in the 12 months to September 2025 at a median of $448,350 (the same count and median with code 03 sales included) to 30 in the 12 months to September 2026 at a median of $642,000. The 11 single-family sales are too few for a direction claim, and Captiva Island also recorded 5 multi-family sales, duplexes and similar buildings, in the same window. Calendar-year counts for 2022 and 2024 are left out on purpose, because most post-Ian island sales in those years carry code 03, so a strict qualified count for either year understates what closed.

What the county record cannot tell you is how long homes take to sell, how close they sell to list price, or how many are for sale today. Those are MLS fields, and on the islands they are split across two MLS systems, as explained above. That is the reason to ask any agent you interview for the closed sales behind their price, by type and by date.

What that means for the choice on this page. On islands where a Sanibel canal home, a Gulf-side condominium and a Captiva single-family home price on three different curves, the agent’s skill shows up in the comparables: a home priced to the recorded sales of its own type, in its own part of the island, draws the offer. If you want a number for your own address, start with a Sanibel and Captiva home valuation, read our guide to selling a home on Sanibel and Captiva, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

If you want to see the homes behind these numbers, every Sanibel home for sale is on Domain Realty Group, the team site McGreevy and Comisar lead; this page stays on the question of who to hire.

What should a Sanibel or Captiva buyer or seller ask about flood rules, rebuilding and condominiums before hiring an agent?

Sanibel and Captiva buyers and sellers should ask an agent to explain four records first: the FEMA flood zone on the Lee County maps effective November 17, 2022, the 50 percent rule (the City of Sanibel’s on Sanibel, Lee County’s on Captiva), the condominium milestone inspection and reserve study, and the seller flood disclosure under Section 689.302, Florida Statutes.

Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA Community Rating System eligible communities list effective April 1, 2026; City of Sanibel and Lee County floodplain pages; Florida Statutes 2026 text; Citizens Property Insurance; all read for the Sanibel and Captiva research files, October 2026).

Flood zones. Essentially the entire island of Sanibel lies in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zones AE and VE, with small AO and X areas), on Lee County flood insurance rate maps effective November 17, 2022. FEMA’s maps for Captiva are the same countywide panels: on FEMA’s live National Flood Hazard Layer, queried October 22, 2026, the Gulf side carries Zone VE with base flood elevations of 8 to 13 feet (NAVD88) and the bay side and interior carry Zone AE at 6 to 9 feet, with some Zone X. A zone is a map reading, not a determination for a structure; the elevation certificate is. Both the City of Sanibel and unincorporated Lee County, which includes Captiva, sit at Community Rating System Class 5 on FEMA’s list effective April 1, 2026, a 25 percent discount on NFIP premiums for Special Flood Hazard Area policies.

The 50 percent rule, two versions. On Sanibel: if the cost to repair damage, or of an improvement, equals or exceeds 50 percent of the building’s market value, the whole building must be brought up to current floodplain standards, including elevation, and the City of Sanibel uses the Lee County Property Appraiser’s building value or a licensed appraisal for market value. On Captiva, under Lee County Ordinance 22-30, substantial improvement is counted cumulatively over five years: if the combined cost of repairs and improvements in any five-year period reaches 50 percent of the building’s market value before the work, the structure must be brought into compliance with current flood rules, usually meaning elevation. An agent who confuses the two can cost a buyer a renovation budget.

Rebuilding on Sanibel. Sanibel’s Ordinance 26-009, adopted June 2, 2026, lets a nonconforming structure that is below the minimum design flood elevation or substantially damaged be elevated up to 10 feet above predevelopment grade or highest adjacent grade, whichever is higher, even past height and angle-of-light limits, within the build-back limits the ordinance sets. The county roll shows how the islands came back: on Sanibel only 101 single-family parcels show a year built of 2023 or later, 2.6 percent of 3,832, so the island has been repaired far more than it has been rebuilt.

Condominium inspections and reserve studies. Florida milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies apply to condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories, and Sanibel adopted its own milestone ordinance, 26-002, on March 17, 2026. A structural integrity reserve study combined with a milestone inspection due by December 31, 2026 may be completed by that date, and a resale buyer’s rescission window is now 7 days. Whether a given island building is covered has to be checked building by building, which is a question to put to any agent before the inspection period runs.

Flood disclosure and insurance. Since October 1, 2024, Section 689.302 requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the contract, covering flood damage during ownership, flood claims and federal flood assistance. Citizens requires flood coverage on homes in a Special Flood Hazard Area, which covers essentially all of Sanibel, and from January 1, 2027 on all policies statewide; condo unit-owner policies are exempt (Citizens).

None of this is a reason to pick one agent over another on its own. It is a reason to ask every agent on the table how they read these records, and to hire the one whose answer you can check. McGreevy and Comisar read them on every island file; call Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873 or Jesse McGreevy at (239) 898-6072.

How do rental, tax and access rules differ between Sanibel and Captiva, and why does that matter to the agent you hire?

Sanibel is a city with its own code: outside a permitted resort housing use, dwelling units may not be made available for rental for periods of less than four consecutive weeks. Captiva is unincorporated Lee County, where no county minimum-stay ordinance was found and rental limits come from each association’s own documents. The agent you hire should know which rulebook applies.

Data updated: October 2026 (Sanibel Code of Ordinances, Chapter 126, Article XIV, Division 7, Municode; Section 509.032(7)(b), Florida Statutes; Lee County Property Appraiser 2025 Taxing District Millage Book; Lee County toll and discount program page; retrieved for the Sanibel and Captiva research files, October 2026).

Rentals on Sanibel. Outside a permitted, code-compliant resort housing use, Sanibel dwelling units may not be made available for rental for periods of less than four consecutive weeks (about 28 days). Every dwelling rental needs a City dwelling rental license, with the license number in all advertising, plus a business tax receipt, a Lee County tourist tax account, a Florida Department of Revenue transient rental registration and, where applicable, a DBPR transient lodging license. Violations are a second-degree misdemeanor with a fine of up to $500 per day per unit.

Rentals on Captiva. No Lee County minimum-stay ordinance was found for Captiva; Florida law (s. 509.032(7)(b)) bars new local rental-duration limits, so rental limits on Captiva come from each condominium or HOA’s own documents and resort rental programs. Read the association documents before you buy.

Taxes. The 2025 millage for City of Sanibel parcels (Lee County taxing district 010) is 14.0882 mills, the sum of the 2025 rates in the Lee County Property Appraiser millage book, or about $1,409 per $100,000 of taxable value before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges. For Captiva Island parcels (taxing district 006) the sum of the 2025 rates is 13.5908 mills. On Captiva, the Captiva Erosion Prevention District board voted 4 to 0 on August 31, 2026 to approve the apportionment for a $10 million non-ad valorem assessment based on 2025 just values; amounts vary by beach zone and use, so request the parcel’s figure from CEPD.

Access. Hurricane Ian destroyed sections of the Sanibel Causeway on September 28, 2022; residents regained access on October 19, 2022, visitors on January 2, 2023, all lanes reopened on December 22, 2023, and the permanent restoration was completed in 2025. The toll is $6 island-bound, plus a $3 fee when paid by plate, and Lee County’s Sanibel unlimited annual pass is $400. Captiva is reached through Sanibel and across the Blind Pass bridge.

Each of these changes the numbers on a purchase: the rental income a buyer can underwrite, the tax line on a seller’s net sheet, the assessment a buyer inherits. Ask the agent you interview to show you the rule behind each one. For a buyer’s view of both islands, see how McGreevy and Comisar represent Sanibel and Captiva buyers.

Which kind of Sanibel or Captiva move fits McGreevy and Comisar?

McGreevy and Comisar fit a Sanibel seller pricing against 243 recorded single-family sales at a $1,080,000 median, a Captiva buyer weighing a condominium against a single-family home where the medians were $642,000 and $2,275,000, and an owner who needs an island sale and a mainland purchase handled together.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, index built 21 October 2026, newest recorded sale 15 September 2026; RealTrends Verified 2026 profile, retrieved 22 October 2026).

A seller who needs the price right the first time. With Sanibel single-family medians about 19 percent below the last pre-Ian year and condominium medians about 17 percent below it, an island price built on old memories misses. McGreevy and Comisar’s 241 published sides in 2025 are the experience behind every valuation they write. Start with a Sanibel and Captiva seller consultation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

A buyer choosing between a condominium and a house. Sanibel condominiums sold at about $642 per heated square foot against about $547 for single-family homes over the last 12 months, and every condominium carries its own budget, reserve study and rental rules. A house carries its own elevation, flood zone and 50 percent rule questions. The agent you pick should read both before the inspection period ends. See how McGreevy and Comisar represent island buyers.

A luxury or Gulf-coded move. Captiva Island single-family homes recorded a median of $2,275,000 on 11 sales in the last 12 months, and 40 Sanibel sales of every type closed at $2 million or more. McGreevy and Comisar alone have over $900 million in Sales, and McGreevy and Comisar and their Domain Realty Group team have sold over $2.5 Billion in Real Estate. The production column in the table is the place to compare who has published what.

A resort-community purchase. The South Seas family of condominiums and cottages accounted for 29 of the 47 recorded Captiva Island sales in the 12 months to September 2026, at a median of $765,000, on the Lee County Property Appraiser index. Our South Seas Island Resort guide covers that community on its own terms.

A relocation or a second home. A buyer moving from out of state needs the islands explained beside the mainland: the causeway toll, the two governments, the two 50 percent rules, the two tax districts. That is the content of our Sanibel and Captiva real estate guide, our Sanibel Island guide and our Captiva Island guide, all written by the people whose licences are on this page.

A move that turns on language. The public record on this criterion is thin: no Google Business Profile on the table lists a language. McGreevy and Comisar’s national team profile lists English, Spanish, French and Italian, and the honest note is that Google does not carry that field for anyone here, so ask.

How do Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar work a Sanibel or Captiva file?

Jesse McGreevy has sold Southwest Florida real estate since he was licensed in November 2004, and Marc Comisar has been licensed in Florida since September 2003; together they have over 45 years of combined direct real estate experience. On an island file Jesse leads pricing and marketing and Marc runs the field, the showings and the buyer side.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida DBPR licence records; Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, index built 21 October 2026).

The first thing the islands teach anyone who sells there is that they are not one market. A canal home on the east end of Sanibel, a Gulf-side condominium on West Gulf Drive, a golf-course home near The Dunes and a Captiva single-family home price on four different curves, and a comparable pulled from the wrong one is worth nothing. That is why the market figures above are split by island and by type, and why our pricing starts from the recorded sales of the same type in the same part of the island before it looks at an island median.

The second thing is that the rulebook decides more island deals than the view does. On Sanibel we read the city’s rental rule, the 50 percent rule as the city applies it and the elevation certificate before a buyer falls in love with a floor plan. On Captiva we read the association’s rental rules, the county’s cumulative five-year 50 percent count and the erosion district’s assessment. On a listing we put those same documents in front of buyers early, because a buyer who finds a surprise in week three is a buyer who renegotiates.

The third thing is the causeway. On the current county roll (export of 18 October 2026), 47.3 percent of Sanibel single-family parcels and 9.4 percent of Sanibel condominium parcels carry a homestead exemption, and 67 percent of Captiva Island single-family and condo parcels carry an out-of-state owner mailing address. Island owners are often deciding between the island and the mainland, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs or Naples, and island buyers are often shopping from somewhere else. Both conversations happen on a map with recorded sales on it, and they are the conversations we have every week from the Bonita Springs headquarters on US 41 in Lee County.

The table above is how you check us. A seller who has checked the record and then calls Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 is the seller we want to work with.

What does McGreevy and Comisar’s public record show for a Sanibel or Captiva move?

On the 22 October 2026 record McGreevy and Comisar carry 241 RealTrends Verified sides and $157.57M in 2025, ranked #5 among Florida large teams by sides and #1 in Bonita Springs, with 85 Google reviews at 4.9 and two principals licensed since 2004 and 2003. Each claim here ties to a record you can open.

Data updated: October 2026 (RealTrends Verified 2026 program based on 2025 sales data; Florida DBPR; Google Business Profile; all retrieved 22 October 2026).

RealTrends Verified 2026 publishes McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty, as a large team at 241 sides and $157.57M for the 2025 sales year, ranked 5 by sides and 11 by volume among large teams in Florida, and ranked the #1 real estate team in Bonita Springs by both sales volume and transaction sides. That is the published production figure in the table, cited to the team profile RealTrends publishes.

The career record behind it is the one a seller or buyer can weigh. McGreevy and Comisar alone have over $900 million in Sales. McGreevy and Comisar and their Domain Realty Group team have sold over $2.5 Billion in Real Estate across 4,000+ transactions, and Domain Realty Group has been the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012. Jesse McGreevy has taken the Gulfshore Life Five Star award 21 consecutive years. The Domain Realty brokerage listing on Google carried 259 reviews at 4.8 on the data date, beside the 85 at 4.9 on the McGreevy and Comisar profile.

On office city, McGreevy and Comisar’s Google listing sits at 24031 S Tamiami Trl #101 in Bonita Springs, FL 34134, on US 41 in Lee County, and RealTrends files the team under Bonita Springs for the same reason. Every other row on this table is addressed on one of the two islands. The table reports that as a fact, and the rest of this page explains how a Lee County team works an island file: the island MLS structure, the flood and rebuild rules, the rental and tax rules, and the recorded-sales evidence that decides an island price.

Is it better to hire a team or a solo agent on Sanibel or Captiva?

Neither structure is better on the record. The Florida DBPR treats a team as individually licensed associates under one broker, and the Sanibel and Captiva table shows solo agents, teams and brokerage listings with strong review histories. McGreevy and Comisar operate as a team under Domain Realty, led by two principals licensed since 2004 and 2003.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Administrative Code Rule 61J2-10.026; RealTrends Verified 2026 team profile; Florida DBPR; retrieved 22 October 2026).

What a team changes is coverage and continuity. A solo agent is one licence, one phone and one calendar. A team can show a Gulf-side condominium the same afternoon a seasonal buyer lands at RSW, run a listing’s marketing while the lead agent is at a closing, and keep a file moving through an association’s approval, an inspection and an insurance quote at the same time. What a team does not change is who is accountable: under Florida law every associate on a team works under the same broker, and under Rule 61J2-10.026 the team must advertise with the brokerage name attached, which is why the team name on this page never appears without Domain Realty beside it.

The island table also shows how RealTrends classifies production, from an individual agent to a small team to a large team, and the classification matters when you read a figure. A team figure counts every side the whole team closed, so an individual’s 16 sides, a small team’s 24 sides and a large team’s 241 sides are different kinds of number. Each is on the table as published, with the class beside it, and you can divide for yourself.

The question to ask any team is who actually handles your file. At McGreevy and Comisar the answer is the two names on the page: Jesse McGreevy works with sellers on pricing and marketing and sets the appointments, and Marc Comisar runs the field, the listing appointments and the buyer side. The team behind them, Domain Realty Group, is the depth behind two principals rather than a substitute for them. The two principals are the ones who earned Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and they are the ones you meet.

The question to ask a solo agent is what happens when they are unavailable. A good solo agent has a good answer. The table lets you weigh both structures on the same record and decide which answer you prefer.

What does published production mean, and why is it only shown where RealTrends published it?

Published production on this page means a closed-sides and dollar-volume figure that RealTrends Verified published for the 2025 sales year under the listing’s own name or the name of the agent behind it, cited to the list it came from. McGreevy and Comisar’s figure is 241 sides and $157.57M; two other rows carry a figure and eight carry none.

Data updated: October 2026 (RealTrends Verified 2026 program, released 10 July 2026, based on 2025 sales data, retrieved 22 October 2026).

RealTrends Verified is a submission-based ranking program: agents and teams submit their production for the prior calendar year, RealTrends classifies them by size, and RealTrends states that it verifies submissions before publishing city, state and national ranks. It is the closest thing the industry has to a public, third-party production record, and it is the only production source this page uses. For the islands we read the Sanibel individuals, small-teams, medium-teams and large-teams lists and the Captiva individuals, small-teams and medium-teams lists on the data date; the Sanibel large-teams list, the Captiva individuals list and the Captiva medium-teams list returned no entry.

Three wrinkles are worth stating. First, RealTrends assigns each agent or team to the city of its submitted office, so McGreevy and Comisar appear on the Bonita Springs lists, ranked 1 there by sides and by volume, while the two competitor figures on this table come from a Sanibel or Captiva list. The state ranks are the like-for-like comparison, and they are the ones the table shows for our row. Second, the island lists also rank agents and teams whose Google profiles sit below this page’s review line; the selection rule keys on the Google profile, so those entries are recorded in our working file and not rostered. Third, the brokerage listings on the table carry no figure of their own, because RealTrends ranks people and teams, not office listings.

An MLS record would be more complete, but it is not public, and on the islands it is split across two systems. Members can pull an agent’s closed sides from the MLS they belong to, and a seller interviewing agents is entitled to ask each one for that pull. What a page like this cannot do is publish a competitor’s private MLS production and call it a ranking, so it does not.

What do McGreevy and Comisar clients say?

Client Reviews

★★★★★ “A total pleasure to work with in every aspect of our home selling process, Marc Comisar is THE consummate professional. His friendly personality coupled with his ability to identity and address every detail is irreproachable. He and his company successfully marketed and sold a home for us in the past as well as doing the same for several properties our family members owned. In my view he is THE ONLY Realtor to handle our real estate needs. AWESOME experience!” Verified Google review

★★★★★ “Best realtor experience ever! We were out of own buyers coming in for the weekend to look for a new home, Marc was extremely organized in taking us to see a number of houses and shuffling the schedule, as we arrived early, to make the best use of our time. He was extremely helpful in negotiating what we thought was a great deal on the new home that we purchased that same weekend. Beyond that he was kind enough to take some measurements at the house for us weeks later to keep us from making a trip back to town before the closing. We will most definitely be using this realtor again if the need arrives in the future.” Verified Google review

★★★★★ “Jesse listened to what we were looking for and found us exactly what we wanted. Jesse was always available to answer any questions and helped us through the entire process.” Verified Google review

Frequently asked questions about choosing a real estate agent on Sanibel or Captiva

Who is the best realtor on Sanibel Island or Captiva?

There is no official ranking, so this page compares 11 Sanibel and Captiva agents and teams on public records dated 22 October 2026: Google reviews, state licence records and RealTrends Verified production. McGreevy and Comisar publish their own row on the same terms, with 241 RealTrends Verified sides and $157.57M in 2025.

Are Sanibel and Captiva the same town?

No. Sanibel is its own city, the City of Sanibel, whose voters approved incorporation in November 1974, 689 to 394, ZIP 33957. Captiva, across Blind Pass, is unincorporated Lee County, ZIP 33924, with land use decided by the Lee County Board of County Commissioners. McGreevy and Comisar’s table covers agents addressed in either ZIP.

Why do Sanibel and Captiva have a separate MLS?

The Sanibel and Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS runs its own MLS, so Southwest Florida MLS sees only part of island sales; the county record is the complete one. That is why this page’s market figures come from Lee County recorded sales. Ask any agent, McGreevy and Comisar included, which system your listing will appear in.

What is the median home price on Sanibel in 2026?

By type, not blended. Lee County recorded sales for October 2025 to September 2026 show Sanibel single-family homes at a median of $1,080,000 on 243 sales and condominiums at $725,000 on 145. McGreevy and Comisar price island homes from the recorded sales of the same type, never from one island-wide median.

What do Captiva homes sell for?

On Lee County recorded sales for October 2025 to September 2026, Captiva Island single-family homes sold at a median of $2,275,000 on 11 sales and condominiums at $642,000 on 30. Eleven sales is a small sample, so McGreevy and Comisar treat the single-family median as a guide, not a trend, and price from the closest comparables.

Is Sanibel Island in a flood zone?

Yes. Essentially the entire island lies in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, zones AE and VE with small AO and X areas, on Lee County maps effective November 17, 2022. The elevation certificate decides a specific structure. McGreevy and Comisar ask for it on every Sanibel house and check the City of Sanibel’s flood lookup.

What is the 50 percent rule on Sanibel and Captiva?

On Sanibel, repairs or improvements costing 50 percent or more of a building’s market value require the whole building to meet current floodplain standards. On Captiva, Lee County Ordinance 22-30 counts that 50 percent cumulatively over five years. McGreevy and Comisar walk buyers through whichever rule applies before an offer.

What is the minimum rental period on Sanibel?

Outside a permitted, code-compliant resort housing use, Sanibel dwelling units may not be made available for rental for periods of less than four consecutive weeks, under the Sanibel Code of Ordinances. Each rental also needs a City dwelling rental license and the state and county registrations. McGreevy and Comisar check the rule before a buyer underwrites rental income.

Can I rent out a home on Captiva?

No Lee County minimum-stay ordinance was found for Captiva; Florida law (s. 509.032(7)(b)) bars new local rental-duration limits, so rental limits on Captiva come from each condominium or HOA’s own documents and resort rental programs. Read the association documents before you buy, and ask McGreevy and Comisar to walk you through them.

When should I hire a real estate agent to sell my Sanibel or Captiva home?

Before you set a price. Island buyers expect the flood disclosure, the elevation certificate and, for a condominium, the inspection and reserve documents up front, and the island’s two MLS systems mean the marketing plan needs thought. Talk to McGreevy and Comisar about pricing, paperwork and exposure a full season ahead of listing.

How do real estate agent rankings work, and why do the lists disagree?

Each list uses its own yardstick, such as reviews on one platform, a referral network’s own data, or, for RealTrends Verified, submitted and verified production by city. The lists disagree because the yardsticks differ. This page states its criteria, its selection rule and its data date, 22 October 2026, so a reader can check every cell.

What questions should I ask a Sanibel or Captiva real estate agent before hiring them?

The National Association of Realtors publishes ten questions for each side: how long you have been licensed, whether you are a Realtor bound by the Code of Ethics, which neighborhoods you work most, and whether I can speak to recent clients. On the islands add two more: which MLS will carry my listing, and which 50 percent rule applies.

How do I check a Florida real estate licence?

Go to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation licence portal, search by name or by licence number, and open the record. It shows licence type, status, the original licence date, the expiry, the brokerage of record and any discipline. Jesse McGreevy is SL3101296 and Marc Comisar is BK3060671, both Current and Active with Domain Realty.

What is the difference between a sales associate, a broker associate and a broker in Florida?

Under Chapter 475, Florida Statutes, a broker may operate a brokerage and hold escrow; a sales associate performs the same services under a broker’s direction; and a broker associate holds a broker licence but works under another broker. Marc Comisar is a broker associate and Jesse McGreevy a sales associate, both under Domain Realty, the brokerage Jesse co-founded in 2015.

What is a real estate team under Florida law?

A team is a group of individually licensed associates working under one brokerage and advertising under a shared name. Florida Administrative Code Rule 61J2-10.026 requires the brokerage name in team advertising and bars the team name from being printed larger than the brokerage name. McGreevy and Comisar advertise as McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty, for that reason.

Is a Florida real estate agent my agent by default?

No. Under Section 475.278, Florida Statutes, every licensee is presumed to be a transaction broker, a limited form of representation, unless a single-agent or no-brokerage relationship is established in writing. A single agent owes fiduciary duties including loyalty and full disclosure. Ask any island agent, McGreevy and Comisar included, which relationship is on offer and get it in writing.

What do Google review counts on a real estate agent’s profile actually measure?

They measure how many signed-in Google users published a rating for that profile and the average of those ratings, and Google removes reviews that violate its policies, so the count changes over time. A count does not measure closings, licence history or price tier, which is why this page dates every count and sets it beside the state record.

Why is the review line above 10 on the Sanibel and Captiva page and 50 on the Naples page?

Because only two island-addressed agent or agency profiles carried 50 or more Google reviews on 22 October 2026, so a 50 floor would have compared three rows. Three profiles sat at exactly 10, so the line was drawn above them: 10 island profiles cleared it, and with McGreevy and Comisar’s row the table holds 11.

Why does RealTrends list McGreevy and Comisar under Bonita Springs rather than Sanibel or Captiva?

RealTrends Verified assigns every agent and team to the city of its submitted office, and McGreevy and Comisar submit from the Bonita Springs headquarters, where the 2026 program ranks them #1 by sides and by volume. Their Florida ranks, 5 by sides and 11 by volume among large teams, are the like-for-like figures shown in the table.

How much does a Sanibel or Captiva realtor charge?

Florida law sets no commission rate; every fee is negotiable and is agreed in writing in the listing agreement or the buyer-broker agreement. Since 17 August 2024, under the NAR settlement practice changes summarised by Florida Realtors, a buyer signs a written agreement stating the buyer agent’s compensation before touring. Ask McGreevy and Comisar for the written terms first.

Do I need a buyer’s agent to purchase a home on Sanibel or Captiva?

Florida does not require one; a buyer may work with a listing agent as a customer. Most buyers use their own agent because the listing agent represents the seller, and a buyer’s agent reads the flood zone, the elevation certificate, the association’s rental rules and the insurance quote before the inspection period ends. McGreevy and Comisar represent buyers in writing.

Is it better to hire an island-based agent or a team based on the mainland?

The public record does not favour either. The DBPR record shows the individual licence and the brokerage of record whatever the sign says, and Google reviews attach to the listing, not the office address; the table shows the same criteria for both. McGreevy and Comisar work Sanibel and Captiva from Bonita Springs, and the table says so plainly.

Sources

Every figure on this page carries a publisher and a retrieval date. Facts about the other rows come from three public sources only, the Florida DBPR licensee portal, the listing’s own Google Business Profile as displayed on Google Maps and in Google’s local results, and RealTrends Verified, and the record ids for each row are in the table’s final column. No competitor website is linked, no aggregator profile is linked or quoted, and no review left for anyone other than McGreevy and Comisar is quoted, counted or paraphrased. Market figures come from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s recorded sales; Southwest Florida MLS figures are not used because the islands’ sales are split across two MLS systems.
