Shana Hamel, Realtor -NextHome Excellence

Shana Hamel, Realtor -NextHome Excellence A Sarasota & Manatee resident 35+ years, I’m an award-winning Realtor®, Mortgage Loan Originator & MBA. It’s about life, change, and possibility. She listens.

With RSPS, SFR & C2EX designations, I bring expertise in real estate, finance & coaching to deliver my clients a full-service, strategic approach. Shana has called Sarasota and Manatee County home since 1988, and her deep roots in the Gulf Coast community shape the heart of her real estate practice. Her approach is warm, grounded, and highly personalized—built on genuine connection, thoughtful gui

dance, and a clear understanding that real estate is about more than property. With an MBA, a background in mortgage lending and property management, and certification as a Life Coach, Shana offers a level of clarity and support that helps clients feel calm, informed, and confident in their decisions. She blends market insight with a steady, human touch—creating space for clients to move at their own pace while feeling fully supported every step of the way. Shana specializes in lifestyle-driven real estate, second homes, and long-term wealth building. She holds multiple designations, including Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS), Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR). She has also served in leadership roles within the Realtor® community, including Chair of the RASM Scholarship Committee, where she helped raise over $40,000 for local students. Clients describe Shana as easy to talk to, deeply knowledgeable, and refreshingly real. She asks the right questions. She understands both the excitement and the emotion of transition—and she guides with presence, care, and clarity. Outside of real estate, you’ll most often find her near the water—sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply walking along the shore with her dog, Promise. She believes that this coastal lifestyle is something special, and she loves helping others find the version of it that feels like home.

“Real estate with heart—guiding your journey with clarity, care, and genuine connection.”

Choosing the right grout color can make all the difference in your tile design. Here’s what to consider

• Match the grout to your tile color for a seamless, uniform look
• Choose a contrasting grout color to make the tiles stand out
• Go with a neutral grout, like light gray or beige, for versatility and balance
• If you’re using patterned or colorful tiles, opt for a subtle grout to avoid overwhelming the design

A secret to a good night's sleep is having the right pillow. One common mistake people make is buying a pillow that fits their bed and not their sleeping style!

If you wake up in the same position you fell asleep in, a standard pillow should be a good match for you. Those who switch positions a few times a night will probably benefit most from a queen-size pillow. And a king-size pillow is perfect if you're one to never wake up in the same position twice!
