I n the high-stakes world of Naples, Florida, real estate, Mike and Lauren Taranto have become synonymous with trust, creativity, and results. As the powerhouse duo behind the Taranto Team at Coldwell Banker Realty, Lauren brings 38 years of real estate experience, while Mike first spent 28 years in academia and corporate America in food science and product development. Together, they have spent the past 25 years building a thriving partnership in the luxury real estate market. They are recipients of Coldwell Banker’s prestigious President’s Elite award and are ranked among the top 100 of the brokerage’s agents in Florida. The two have redefined what it means to be real estate professionals. Top producers who adapt swiftly, they leverage creativity and complementary strengths to stay connected with clients—guiding buyers and sellers like seasoned captains through ever-changing waters. As Mike puts it, “We have a unique combination of talents. I bring my corporate business background. Lauren brings market knowledge, enthusiasm, and a flair for marketing.” That dynamic blend of talents would eventually converge as they became partners in both life and business.

Consummate Real Estate Advisors Mike and Lauren have built a reputation for professionalism, deep market insight, and unwavering commitment. With multimillions of dollars in luxury sales over the years, they credit their success to precision service, client-focused strategy, and a broad, well-nurtured network. “Our success has been with our sphere of influence,” Lauren notes. “And the trust. People love that we always take care of them.” That trust has been earned through experience and deep market knowledge.

Though they’ve explored growing their team, they’ve found they work best solo. “I look at him, and he already knows what to do. We work our best when it’s just us,” Lauren says.
