Scott Caldwell leads business development for Sarasota Management & Leasing, focusing on new owner acquisition, referral partnerships, and growth across the SML market. A licensed Florida real estate professional who has founded and led multiple companies, Scott has spent his career helping owners and operators build businesses that run on clear systems and disciplined execution. He has owned investment real estate, including self-storage, and has spent years analyzing and assessing real estate opportunities for his own portfolio and alongside others. That experience shapes how he approaches every conversation at SML: owners are not just handing over a property; they are trusting someone with an asset they worked hard to acquire.

He and his wife, Misty, have been married for 20 years and live in Venice with their daughters, Macey, a senior at Venice High School, and Marlee, an eighth grader at Venice Middle School. The Caldwells are active in their community, rarely miss their girls’ activities, and serve at The Bridge Church in Venice.
