FAQs

There are over 16,000 Realtors in the Tampa Bay area, how are you different?

Firstly, half of those Realtors close 2 or less sales in a year and only about 5,000 close more than 5 sales in a year. I’ve closed 20 in the last 12 months. When you choose a Realtor, you can choose someone who cruises til it’s time to get a paycheck or someone who will use their knowledge, network and experience to get you the best possible outcome. Secondly, I’m a straight talking, down to earth, fact driven person – honest conversations that put the client first are empowering for the client and yield better results for everyone.

What is your approach when you work with buyers and sellers?

Ask questions and listen. The most important thing when working with buyers or sellers is to learn what they want to achieve, and then use expertise and knowledge to help them get there.

Why did you start you own independent brokerage instead of working for an existing one?

To get away from overarching brokerages who focus on mass recruiting and then drive a one size fits all model. Being on my own enables me to focus on solving problems for the client first, this is where success begins.

I live and work out of St Pete, and have done business as far south as Bradenton and Parrish and everywhere in between to Odessa, New Port Richey and as far north as Spring Hill.
