For over 28 years, real estate professional Mirta Matheu Klauber has represented properties throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Her experience in luxury waterfront homes, coupled with her fluency in three languages, has enabled Mirta to attract a local, national and international clientele who appreciate her market knowledge, her strong collegial network, and her professionalism.

Mirta’s move into real estate followed years of experience in the hospitality industry; during which she gained significant managerial expertise working for the Sonesta chain of luxury hotels and resorts in New Orleans, LA. Next, she assisted then-husband Michael Klauber in the opening of Sarasota’s now-legendary Michael’s On East Restaurant. The work, though highly demanding, provided a strong foundation in customer service upon which to build her career as a real estate agent with Michael Saunders & Company.

“In my managerial positions, I was constantly dealing with changes and crises, and consistently rose to the challenges that were presented daily,” she recalls. The work also tapped into her ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of personalities, which has served her well in real estate. “I know how to build relationships for life, with both my clients and my colleagues,” she asserts. “Working well with others is a key element of my ability to facilitate a smooth transaction for my buyers and sellers.”

Fluent in English, Spanish and French, Mirta describes herself as a great communicator who adapts well to her clients’ needs. Her ability to gain the confidence and trust of her clients is something that clearly comes naturally. Perhaps it’s through her easy manner, or her friendly and relatable nature that Mirta has developed such a strong network of loyal clients and industry-related colleagues who appreciate her knowledge and experience.

Refusing to limit herself to a specific geographical region, Mirta has focused instead on building her business through extensive networking. “There is no greater service I can offer my clients than being able to quickly understand their lifestyles and then be able to match them with the perfect properties.” Mirta adds “I believe that real estate is one of the most fulfilling occupations around. As an agent I have the opportunity to help people change their lives for the better, whether they’re moving to another country, another state, or just down the street.”

Mirta typically works with buyers and sellers of primary residences, investment residences and commercial properties and employs a broad range of skills in her approach to each client’s unique transaction. As a listing agent she assists her customers in maximizing their homes’ exposure, and in attracting prospective buyers. When working with buyers, she develops a strong rapport with her clients, learns their lifestyles and needs; and helps keep them motivated during the process of searching for their ideal home. To every client she offers an unwavering dedication to meeting their particular needs. “The sale and purchase of real estate is such an important decision,” she asserts. “I’m here to serve as a resource and an advocate for my clients and to do whatever possible to help them achieve their goals.”

Mirta is equally committed to her profession and her family, as well. A firm believer in the value of ongoing education, she has earned a GRI designation in order to offer a higher level of professional service to her clientele, and to distinguish herself among her fellow agents. A proud mother of daughters Kelly Elizabeth and Molly Michael, she describes the two young women as “the binding that holds my life together.”

Her commitment to matching people with properties and lifestyles has enabled Mirta to enjoy longevity in the often tumultuous field of real estate. Her dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism have earned her the respect and appreciation of clients and colleagues alike. In Sarasota’s real estate market, Mirta Matheu Klauber is one of a kind and is committed to providing buyers and sellers with exceptional service.
