About Sunbelt Management Services · Port Charlotte
Sunbelt Management Services is a full-service real estate brokerage and property management firm located in Port Charlotte, Florida, that has served Charlotte County and surrounding Southwest Florida communities since 1985. Operating from an office on the Tamiami Trail just north of the Peace River Bridge, the small, locally-owned company handles annual rentals, seasonal/short-term vacation rentals, residential sales, tenant screening, maintenance, and investment analysis for property owners. The team is led by Head of Operations and licensed real estate agent Craig Cirella, alongside broker Cindy Loewe, maintenance coordinator Roger Segur, and office manager Odie.
Founded in 1985, Sunbelt Management Services has spent nearly four decades as a fixture of the Charlotte County, Florida real estate landscape. The brokerage is headquartered at 4678 Tamiami Trail, Unit 102, in Port Charlotte — a location the company has occupied along the Tamiami Trail just north of the Peace River Bridge that the team itself describes as 'home.' From that base, Sunbelt Management brings property management and real estate sales services to a broad swath of Southwest Florida, including Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Charlotte Park, Cleveland, North Port, Sarasota, and Fort Myers. The company positions itself as a small but personalized operation. Its tagline is essentially that clients 'won't have to lift a finger' when buying, renting, or selling a home or land, because the team handles advertising, tenant screening, rent collection, move-in and move-out inspections, maintenance, planning and coordination, renovation analysis, year-end 1099 statements, and monthly owner statements. In addition to traditional property management, the firm offers real estate sales (home sales for buyers and sellers), seasonal and annual rentals, and investment analysis for owners looking to maximize ROI. The brokerage emphasizes treating every property 'as if it's our own' and boasts a '100% Satisfaction Guarantee' for owners. Sunbelt Management Services is a member of the Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry Association (CDBIA) and operates as a licensed Florida real estate brokerage (NAICS 522292 — Real Estate Credit). According to public business data, the firm has between 1 and 10 employees and an estimated annual revenue of roughly $256,665. Its principal contact and Head of Operations is Craig A. Cirella, a licensed REALTOR® who also handles sales inquiries directly via [email protected]. The brokerage serves a region celebrated for its 12.5 miles of coastal beaches, more canals than Venice, Italy, and 70 parks and nature preserves around Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands — making seasonal rental management a significant part of its business.
