Moriah Taliaferro integrates a wealth of strategic marketing expertise and experienced real estate perspective to offer each client a tailored strategy for success. With certified negotiation expertise and valuable professional relationships, she is committed to innovative solutions and processes that generate the best advantage.

Inspired by her parents’ entrepreneurial example – her mother, a local agent, and her father, an international developer – Moriah began her real estate career early with a legacy of knowledge and appreciation for the high-end residential market. A resident of downtown and expert in downtown inventory, she was instrumental in the sale of two downtown luxury new construction communities - Orange Club and ONE88 – before co-listing the sell-out of Sage LBK in late 2020 and early 2021.

Prior to her real estate career, Moriah was an accomplished ballerina, training and performing with renowned international schools including the Royal Ballet of London, Boston Ballet, Kirov Academy of Washington, D.C. and by special invitation with students of the Paris Opera Ballet. The unique combination of grace and discipline demanded by ballet has been an invaluable foundation in serving Moriah’s clients. She is known for both rigorous attention to detail and absolute composure in every negotiation. Also stemming from her ballet past, Moriah’s passion for the arts is a natural complement to Sarasota’s cultural appeal and the distinctive value of our community history, performing and visual arts institutions, and unique architecture.

A native of Colorado, Moriah has a dual degree in International Business Management and Marketing from Florida State University. She is a committed community volunteer, actively supporting causes that promote women's leadership and children, and advocating for urban parks and green space as a leader of the Rosemary District Association. In addition to her community and industry leadership, Moriah is an active mother-to-be and avid traveler who enjoys celebrating her family heritage and sharing her joie de vivre and love of Sarasota with friends near and far.
