Parrish Realtor
A Parrish Realtor who publishes the numbers first
Michael Dailey is a REALTOR with Coldwell Banker Realty representing buyers and sellers across Parrish, in northern Manatee County. Parrish has more actively building new-construction communities than any other area tracked on this site, and it carries a lower combined HOA and district cost than Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto or Wellen Park. Most of the decisions a buyer faces here are builder decisions rather than resale ones, which is a different kind of representation.

Who you would be working with
I grew up in Sarasota and I served eight years in the U.S. Army. I am a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Realty, licence SL3619388, and I work across Manatee and Sarasota counties from the office on Market Street in Lakewood Ranch.
The part that matters more than the biography: this site publishes the research rather than promising it. The HOA and district assessments, the flood designations and the county-sourced community facts are all up in public, for free, with their sources named, before anyone contacts me. You can check my work on Parrish before you decide whether to call, which is roughly the opposite of how this industry usually introduces itself.
When you do call, you get me. I am one member of a team at Coldwell Banker Realty, and the promise is not that I work alone, it is that your call comes to me and I am the one who picks it up.

Parrish by the numbers I publish
Every figure below is counted from the fee data on this site, not quoted from a listing. It updates when that data is reviewed, so this page and the parrish fee table cannot disagree with each other.

Wholly or partly in FEMA flood zone AE
HOA and district figures are estimates, annualised, and subject to change; flood designation is assigned parcel by parcel and must be verified for a specific address. Nothing here replaces the non-ad valorem section of the actual tax bill, which is what I pull before a client writes an offer.
What is actually different about buying in Parrish
Local knowledge is the most overused phrase in this business, so here is the specific version: three things about this market that decide money, and that an agent working it from forty miles away will not raise with you.
01
This is a builder market, and the model-home agent is not yours
Most Parrish inventory is new construction, which means the person you meet in the sales centre works for the builder. Registration rules matter: most builders require your agent to be present or registered at your first visit, and showing up alone can forfeit representation on that community entirely. Arrange it before you tour.
02
Unincorporated, so there is no city tax layer
Parrish is unincorporated, so there is no city of Parrish and no municipal property-tax layer stacked on top of the county millage. Manatee County handles services and permitting directly. It is a real line that is simply absent from the tax bill, and it is separate from the HOA and district question below, which is where the larger differences between communities actually come from.
03
Districts are common but far from universal
Roughly half the Parrish communities I track carry no district assessment at all, and the other half do. That split is wider than anywhere else in this market, so the difference between two communities a mile apart can be several thousand dollars a year on the tax bill before you compare a single floor plan.
Check my work before you call
None of this is gated and none of it asks for your email. It is the research I would do for you anyway, published so you can judge it first.
Buying or selling in Parrish?
Tell me the address, the community or just the question. If it is a specific property I will pull the district assessment, the flood designation and the association's own documents before we talk, so the first conversation is about the numbers rather than about me.
Or call or text (941) 350-0224.

Common Questions
Working with a Parrish agent
Do I need my own agent to buy new construction in Parrish?
The builder’s sales agent represents the builder. A buyer’s agent reads the contract, the CDD schedule and the HOA budget for you, negotiates on incentives, upgrades and closing costs, and stands with you through inspections and walkthroughs. On most new builds the builder pays the buyer agent’s fee, so it frequently costs you nothing extra, but confirm that in writing for the specific community rather than assuming it. The timing point matters more than people expect: most builders require your agent registered or present at your first visit.
Which Parrish communities have no CDD?
Roughly half of the Parrish communities tracked on this site carry no district assessment, and the fee table names each one. It is worth checking rather than generalising, because the split here is unusually even and two neighbouring communities can differ by thousands a year. Confirm the specific parcel through the Manatee County Property Appraiser’s non-ad valorem section before writing an offer, since districts are assessed by parcel.
Is Parrish a good place to buy right now?
That depends entirely on what you are optimising for, and anyone who answers it without asking is selling. Parrish offers newer construction and a lower carrying cost than the coastal markets, with the trade being that it is inland, still building, and the amenities and retail are arriving rather than established. If you want walk-to-beach or a finished downtown, it is the wrong market. If you want more house, a newer build and a lower annual cost within reach of Tampa, St. Pete and Sarasota, it is worth a look.
