About Kari Battaglia

Kari Battaglia is a full-time REALTOR® Broker Associate serving the Venice and Englewood, Florida area and a past President of the Venice Area Board of Realtors (2017). With decades of experience across real estate sales, investing, financial services, and property management, Kari offers clients a comprehensive, strategic approach to real estate.

For Kari, a home isn’t defined by square footage or room dimensions. It’s about how it feels when you walk through the front door and whether you can instantly picture your life unfolding there. Real estate is never just a transaction. It’s about lifestyle, long-term security, and making confident decisions about one of your most valuable assets.

Kari works closely with each client, taking the time to understand their goals, timeline, and financial priorities. Whether you are buying, selling, relocating, investing, or deciding whether renting your property makes sense in today’s market, she believes every client deserves individualized guidance and clear, honest communication.

Before becoming a REALTOR®, Kari built an 18-year career in the stock brokerage industry, specializing in wealth preservation and estate planning. She earned her Series 7 and Series 63 licenses, along with Life and Variable Annuity licenses, and served in leadership roles including Operations Manager in Tampa, Florida. This financial background allows her to approach real estate decisions with a strong understanding of risk, return, and long-term planning.

Kari has been actively involved in real estate since 1994 as an owner and investor, having owned and managed more than 46 properties. Her experience includes building, managing, and selling six storage facilities, as well as overseeing numerous residential rental properties and multi-unit investments. Today, she offers professional property management services designed to protect her clients’ investments while providing dependable tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and owner-focused reporting.

Her property management services are structured to be homeowner-friendly, with a focus on transparency, compliance, and financial performance. Kari understands that for many owners, property management is not just about collecting rent. It is about protecting an asset, reducing stress, and ensuring consistent income.

Kari became a licensed REALTOR® in 2009 and has been recognized consistently for her performance and professionalism. Her awards include Rookie of the Year (2009), Multi-Million Dollar Producer (2009–2025), RE/MAX 100% Club (2013–2016), and the RE/MAX Alliance Group Spirit Award (2015).

Known for her deep local knowledge, straightforward approach, and commitment to long-term client relationships, Kari helps buyers, sellers, and property owners make informed decisions in the Venice and Englewood real estate markets.
