Mary Pat Radford thrives on making connections and forming long-lasting relationships, whether helping customers attain their goals or making a difference in the community she has called home for more than 15 years. After growing up in St. Petersburg, she followed her passion and moved to Raleigh, NC, where she earned a degree in clothing and fashion merchandising from Meredith College and enjoyed a flourishing seven-year career with an upscale women’s boutique. She later spent three years as a manager with June Simmons Jewelry in downtown Sarasota. Mary Pat’s deep knowledge of her customers’ needs led to an impressive increase in sales and a buying and management role, enabling her to play an integral part in the opening and growth of a third location.
With her extensive knowledge of the Sarasota area, as well as an ability to network and make connections professionally and personally, Mary Pat will benefit buyers and sellers as they work to achieve their real estate goals. With a focus on luxury homes and neighborhoods, her passion and dedication to her community can help customers create their legacy in Sarasota.
Mary Pat takes immense pride in the relationships she has built through her involvement in the community, including Sarasota’s phenomenal school systems, Sarasota Yacht Club and as an active member of Church of the Redeemer. In 2020, she became a founding member of the first Florida chapter of National Charity League, Inc. in Sarasota and is looking forward to serving as its president in 2022-2023. National Charity League gives her the opportunity to instill the values of philanthropy, leadership and cultural experience, along with other mothers and daughters, in the community.
She and her husband, Kevin, have enjoyed raising their two daughters, Isabelle and Eliza, in a community full of culture and the beautiful outdoors. Isabelle, whose love for the arts grew when she started dancing as a young girl, is a freshman at American University, where she’s excited to focus on justice law and eventually attend law school. Eliza’s passion for the arts led to the world of theater and she is a proud freshman in the Visual and Performing Arts Program at Booker High School. Mary Pat and her family relish taking advantage of the area’s beautiful waterways, including boating and paddleboarding through the mangrove tunnels.
