Broker Biography
Introduction
Eric Pfeifer (pronounced “fifer”) grew up in Baltimore, Maryland where he attended the Gilman School for Boys and later graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Civil Engineering. Eric worked as an Engineer and Project Manager on jobs in both Georgia and Florida building bridges and wharves and beltways. Eric later joined his two older brothers in a family business where they grew their company rapidly earning recognition from Inc. 500 for two consecutive years as one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States.
As a business owner managing over 80 employees, and working crazy hours 6 and often 7 days a week, Eric cherished his family time. Family vacations to Sanibel were always too short and too far between. After the birth of his second child in 1998, Eric and his wife decided that Sanibel could no longer be just a dream put off for future retirement, but a home for their family year-round. Learn More About Eric's Move to Sanibel Island They achieved their dream in 2001 and moved to Sanibel full-time.

Eric’s Real Estate Website: www.SunnySanibel.com has received top honors as one of Florida’s most informative real estate websites for several years in a row until the competition was retired.
In 2008 Eric opened his own brokerage Pfeifer Realty Group on Sanibel Island's main street, Periwinkle Way. He went on to win the Sanibel Captiva Community Service Award 9 Times: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2022 & 2024.
