Hi, I'm Gina Ursini. While I've been in real estate for over 12 years, my connection to Longboat Key, Florida began long before this.

It all began in 1987 when my husband, Mark, and I embarked on a honeymoon in the picturesque location of Longboat Key. The natural beauty and charm of this place left an everlasting impression on us, sparking a love affair with this community that would shape our future endeavors.

In 1993, we made the life-changing decision to make Longboat our home.

After bringing along our two young daughters, Brittany and Christa and immersing in the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of this community, we knew we had found our forever place—a place where we could build our dreams.

Real estate hasn't always been my focus. Before venturing into the industry, I dedicated my career to elementary education. Just as in teaching, my goal is to educate and empower clients, guiding them through the complexities of the real estate market with patience, clarity, and a genuine desire to help.

In 2021, after eleven years in the real estate industry, I launched Brista Realty.

A venture that perfectly complements my husband's esteemed new construction and luxury remodeling business, Brista Homes.

As we look toward the future, we are thrilled that our new 11,000 SF plaza, Brista Commons, will soon house our new offices at the heart of this beautiful island. Our elegantly designed building will feature a harmonious blend of refined luxury and bespoke services, ranging from new home construction and remodeling to comprehensive real estate services and exquisite home decor solutions.


My philosophy as a real estate agent goes beyond mere transaction facilitation for buying and selling properties.

It's about creating remarkable experiences and helping clients realize the full potential of their investments. While others may only see surface flaws, I possess a rare design talent for perceiving the untapped potential that lies within.


I believe that a home is more than just a physical space—it's a sanctuary where memories are made, where families come together, and where dreams take shape. It's about finding a place that truly resonates with your heart and reflects your individuality.

So, whether you're looking to find your dream home, sell your property, or invest in real estate opportunities in this remarkable area, I am here to guide you.

Together, let's embark on an exciting adventure, finding the perfect property that will be the backdrop to your unique story.
