About Costa Living

A Personal Touch
in Every Transaction

Costa Living was founded on a simple belief: real estate should feel personal, not transactional. Jo-Lee Mansfield brings over a decade of local expertise to every client relationship — whether you're a first-time buyer navigating your first mortgage or a seasoned investor evaluating multi-family opportunities.

Based in the heart of Bradenton, we know this market the way locals do — the best school districts, the quietest cul-de-sacs, the neighborhoods with the strongest appreciation curves. That knowledge translates into better decisions, faster closings, and prices that reflect true value.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from real people who trusted Costa Living with their most important investment.

"Jo-Lee made what we thought would be a stressful process feel completely manageable. She listened to what we actually needed — not just what we said we wanted — and found us a home we love in a neighborhood we'd never have considered on our own."

M
Michael & Sarah T.
First-Time Buyers

"We sold our parents' home after they moved to assisted living. The emotional weight of that process was heavy, but Jo-Lee handled everything with grace and professionalism. She got us well above asking price and made a difficult time so much easier."

R
Robert D.
Estate Sale

"As an investor, I need someone who understands numbers, not just neighborhoods. Jo-Lee's market analysis was spot-on — she identified undervalued areas before they popped and helped me build a rental portfolio that's already paying off."
