Who we are

Reliable property care for owners across Manatee & Sarasota Counties

Most coastal homeowners aren't here year-round — and that's exactly who we're here for. Whether you're a part-time resident, an absentee owner, or simply someone with a busy life elsewhere, you deserve someone local you can actually trust.

We show up, we pay attention, and we communicate clearly. From routine inspections to storm prep to coordinating repairs, we handle the details so you don't have to manage everything remotely and hope for the best.

We're also a good fit for newer homeowners or anyone who just wants a knowledgeable set of eyes — no question is too basic, and we're not here to judge, just to help.

Meet the founder

1974

This coast has always felt like home

Cort's family first came to Bradenton in 1974 — and no matter where life has taken him since, this coastline has always been home.

For as long as he can remember, Cort has found real joy in helping the people around him — friends, family, neighbors — with their homes. A project to tackle, a problem to sort out, something to consult on or build or fix. It's where he's happiest. It's what he's good at.

For years, the people closest to him kept saying the same thing: "Cort, make this your business. It's what you love and what you're great at. What could be a better fit?"

So here he is. Ready to bring that same care, attention, and genuine investment to your property. Not as a contractor, not as a management company — but as someone who actually loves this work and the people it serves.

I'm here. What can I do for you?

What we do

Services built for coastal homeowners

We cover the full range of what it takes to keep a coastal property in good shape — especially when you're not here to do it yourself.

Home Watch & property inspections

Regular walkthroughs with photo reports sent straight to you. We catch small issues before they turn into big ones — and give you peace of mind between visits.

⚡ Technology-enhanced, AI-assisted reporting

Storm prep & post-storm checks

Gulf Coast hurricane season is serious. We get your home ready before a storm hits and assess the situation after — so you know what you're dealing with before you fly down.

Vendor & contractor coordination

Need a plumber, AC tech, or landscaper? We work with a network of reliable local vendors and manage the process on your behalf — no more chasing strangers from out of state.

Owner's Representative services

We act as your eyes, ears, and voice on the ground — meeting vendors, overseeing work, asking the questions you'd ask if you were standing there yourself.

Pre-arrival preparation

We get everything ready before you arrive — HVAC running, supplies stocked, any issues flagged. Walk in and it feels like home, not like a house that's been sitting empty.

Emergency response

Pipe burst, storm damage, security concern — when something goes wrong and you can't get there fast, we're your first call. Quick response, clear communication, problems handled.

Declutter, Sell & Assembly

Helping you sort, stage, and sell what you no longer need — or assemble and set up new furniture and fixtures. Practical hands-on help when you need it most.

Technology-enhanced, AI-assisted reporting

Our Home Watch inspections go beyond a walkthrough and a few photos. We use AI-assisted tools to generate detailed, structured property reports — flagging issues, tracking changes over time, and delivering clear summaries straight to your inbox. You get the kind of thorough, organized documentation that used to require a full property management firm. It's one of the things that genuinely sets us apart.

From our clients

What property owners are saying

“

We live in Chicago and our Longboat Key place sits empty most of the year. Knowing someone's actually checking on it — and sending us real updates — has made all the difference. We've stopped worrying about it.

M. & R. Hartwell

Longboat Key

“

I inherited my parents' Anna Maria home and had no clue where to start. Cort walked me through everything — maintenance schedules, who to call for what, what to watch for. Felt like having a friend who just happened to know everything.

D. Fontaine

Anna Maria Island

“

A storm came through while we were away. I had photos and a damage summary in my inbox before I'd even started looking at flights. That's exactly the kind of response you need when you're not there to handle it yourself.

Why Salty C's

What we're built around

Three things every client should be able to count on.

Consistency

We show up when we say we will, send reports after every visit, and keep you in the loop without you having to chase us.

Honesty

We tell you what's actually going on with your property — good news and bad. No sugarcoating, no surprises at the wrong moment.

Local knowledge

Cort's family has been part of this community since 1974 — and he's spent a lifetime helping people here. That connection and care runs deep, and it's the kind of thing that can't be bought or franchised.
