WHY WE CREATED THIS
If you’re looking to relocate or purchase a vacation home on the Gulf (West) Coast of Florida, it’s hard to know where to start.
With Florida’s ever-increasing popularity since COVID, you need a Realtor you can trust to represent your interests. Without one, it can be challenging—if not impossible—to figure out exactly where you want to be and find the right property to meet your specific needs before someone else snaps it up.
While previewing properties online is always helpful, you need someone you can trust locally to visit and preview properties on your behalf, identify off-market and fast-moving homes you'll never see online, and represent your interests across geographies.
We fix that with one trusted point of contact that can represent your unique interests, whether you’re buying in Tampa Bay, Sarasota, Naples, or any other area on the West Coast.
Just One Buyer’s Agent.
No need to repeat yourself to strangers representing various properties and geographies. We learn your preferences, then go out and work for you.
Remote Eyes & Ears.
On-site verifications, FaceTime tours, and honest commentary before you book flights. You get clarity, efficiency and speed where it counts.
End-to-End Efficiency.
We know your time is valuable. We schedule tours efficiently when you’re in town, and when you’re not, rest assured we’re handling everything behind the scenes: offers, negotiations, inspections and more.
Off-Market Access.
When you’re looking for the perfect property, we’ll tap into quiet listings, FSBOs, bank-owned, expired properties the public won't find before they get bought.
-
Step 1
Tell us what "right" looks like. Share your must-haves. We’ll also suggest off-market matches you won't find online.
-
Step 2
We pre-vet and tour on your behalf, sharing our findings virtually. We answer real questions, verify details on site, and FaceTime you through contenders.
-
Step 3
Make the offer (with teeth). We negotiate hard on your behalf, managing contracts, inspections, and timelines—no drama, just progress and real-time updates.
-
Step 4
Close with confidence and enjoy your new Florida lifestyle. If there’s anything you need—from local contractor referrals to local restaurant recommendations—Glenn has you covered.
