Candi Perry is a Broker Associate with Fine Properties and a Lakewood Ranch real estate professional with deep roots in Manatee County. A lifelong Florida resident, Candi brings a rare combination of local knowledge, real estate experience, strong negotiation skills, and firsthand understanding of the communities she serves.
Her connection to the area spans generations. Her family has deep ties to Florida and Manatee County, from her parents meeting while working at Tropicana to earlier generations of her family immigrating from Cuba and becoming part of Florida's history. Growing up in the area gives Candi a perspective that goes well beyond simply knowing the real estate market—she knows the communities, their growth, and what makes this part of Florida such a special place to call home.
Candi began her real estate career as an appraisal assistant in Sarasota, developing an early foundation in property valuation and market analysis. After building a successful career in sales, she returned to real estate and has spent the past eight years helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate the Florida market. She later earned her Florida Broker Associate license, further expanding her expertise in the industry.
Specializing in Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding Manatee County area, Candi works extensively with new construction, resale homes, relocation clients, and investment properties. Her relationships with area builders and new construction communities help her stay informed about inventory, incentives, and opportunities throughout the region.
Candi is also the founder of Lakewood Ranch Friends and Neighbors, a local Facebook community with more than 12,500 members. Through the group, she stays closely connected to the people, businesses, development, events, and conversations shaping Lakewood Ranch—insight that is particularly valuable for clients relocating to the area.
Whether helping someone discover the right Lakewood Ranch community, negotiate a new construction purchase, sell a longtime home, or relocate to Florida, Candi approaches every transaction with the same goal: give her clients the information, strategy, and representation they need to make a confident decision.
Outside of real estate, Candi enjoys baking, traveling, movies, photography, and exploring everything Florida has to offer with her son and two dogs.

“Candi has a level of professionalism and integrity that is unmatched. She was my realtor during a difficult market period and her loyalty and effort on my behalf never wavered. In my estimation, she is the finest realtor who has worked for me in my seventy-five years. I highly recommend her for anyone buying or selling their home in the Bradenton-Sarasota area.
"Candi has helped me sell and purchase four homes in 14 months. Her expertise in understanding the market, value and locations is exceptional! Candi goes above and beyond her expected responsibilities to insure I am always in the "know" of the home I am buying or selling! Thank You Candi for your steadfastness, professionalism and expertise!"
"Candi sold 2 properties for me recently and she made the process as smooth as I could hope. She handled everything as I was states away and to say the process was difficult for her would be putting it mildly. The issues were out of her control and certainly not her responsibility yet she went above and beyond in every situation. I would recommend her to anyone serious about purchasing or selling a home, she is a dedicated professional. Determined, honest, and tenacious come to mind, when I think of her."
"I met Candi at an open house in January 2019. I knew right away that I wanted to work with her. She was honest, attentive and really wanted to help me find the perfect home for ME. Here we are almost one full year later and I just closed on my new home. The closing was fast and Candi was there with me from start to finish with the whole buying and closing process. I knew she had my best interest in mind the whole time and was even able to negotiate the price down considerably. I’m extremely happy and would recommend Candi to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."
"We decided to relocate our family from California to Florida and have been visiting and researching the last couple of years. When the time was right and we were about ready we came into contact with Candi and knew right away we wanted her to help us find our home. While we were finishing up employment details and selling our house she would check in on us, give us tips and advice but was never aggressive or pushy. When we were ready and very limited with time she was all in. She is very knowledgeable about the area and helped us find an area we were not looking at but had EXACTLY what we were looking for. She is very patient and was completely devoted to not stopping until our very detailed list of wants was found. I can not recommend enough using Candi to buy or sell."
Thoroughly recommend Candi for buying a home in the Bradenton area. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and knows the area very well We ran her ragged looking at many different types of properties and she was always enthusiastic and prompt for appointments quite happily arranging viewings. The selling process was very smooth without any ‘hiccups’ :-) She pays attention to detail, is conscientious, pro-active with suggestions and realistic if what we think is a good offer will not ‘cut it’ - she knows her stuff!
Candi was great to work with. We found Candi on Zillow while looking at a property, and she was so quick to respond to our calls/emails, and so helpful overall, that we decided to continue our search for a home with Candi. It took us a while to find a home, so we worked with Candi for several months. She always jumped to action whenever we called or wanted to look at a house. She also gave very helpful opinions and answers when we asked for her help. If we ever look to sell our home or to purchase another, we'll always call Candi first.
Candi is attentive to detail, patient, and accessible when you need her. She is knowledgeable, proactive, and highly trustworthy. Candi made our entire buying/selling experience less stressful. I highly recommend her to anyone.
