Meet Michael
Libby—born Michael Joshua Libby—is the proud grandson of the founders of TarantoTeam Real Estate Advisors. Though the Taranto name comes through his maternal grandparents, he carries the Libby surname legally and prefers to go by his nicknames, Libby or Mike. This family connection, combined with his deep Naples roots, provides Libby with a unique understanding of the TarantoTeam’s legacy and a personal commitment to its continued success.
At just 24 years old, Libby brings a blend of youthful energy and seasoned discipline to his role as Special Assistant and Real Estate Advisor. Growing up in Naples, he learned early that success is built on preparation and perseverance—lessons he absorbed both on the baseball field and in the marketing classroom. After spending eight years pitching in amateur baseball and three years as a Regional Support Specialist for Coldwell Banker Luxury, Libby mastered the ability to think strategically under pressure and deliver results for clients.
As a Special Assistant to the TarantoTeam, Libby manages daily operations, coordinates listings, and ensures every client interaction receives the same high standard of care that his grandparents established. Beyond real estate, he’s an avid golfer and workout enthusiast, regularly exploring Collier County’s country clubs and maintaining a rigorous training regimen. His passion for baseball continues, and he often visits former teammates playing in collegiate and minor-league games across Florida.
Though he doesn’t carry the Taranto surname, Libby’s family heritage, dedication to client service, and local expertise make him an invaluable asset to anyone connecting with the TarantoTeam. Whether you know him as Libby or Mike, his personal investment in the team’s legacy and his commitment to excellence ensure a professional and caring approach to all your real estate needs.
