All About Real Estate with a local focus of the Tampa Bay Area

Welcome to the world of real estate, and thank you for taking a look! I focus my efforts on helping people figure out their real estate goals and needs and how to carry out them. So, if you are thinking of buying or selling a house or condo, or if you are simply curious then you are in the right place. I love to help folks that are navigating a property search or trying to get their home or investment property ready for sale. I do tend to write about questions or situations I have encountered “in the field”. I am in the process of organizing my archive, and my current thought is to label it by buyer, seller, vendors, and neighborhood. I will include resources and their benefits including websites and contact information so folks can get to the information that they need. I do tend to get detailed, and will try to give an overview in the first couple of paragraphs of a post. Naturally, feel free to comment or contact me if there is clarity needed on a post.

Following this site will give you information on buying or selling a home, condo or investment property in the Tampa Bay, FL area. Each situation is different, so if something resonates still ask a professional at some point. By the way, I am not an attorney, nor am I a CPA so don’t think of anything you read as legal advice or tax advice; see the appropriate specialist for those areas. I will be reporting on market trends in the area, and will occasionally post on a specific neighborhood where I have some business.  I am interactive and respect the contact information of those who contact me, so if you want me to cover an area or topic without having me contact you directly, feel free to let me know.

My experience is with both buyers and sellers, and I am knowledgeable on short sales and foreclosures. I do offer service to clients after the sale is complete, in fact a recent client commented on that service: “You’re awesome Robert.  Thanks for being the person you are.” (real estate client comment, September 2012).

I am a Floridian, born in Sarasota, raised in Seminole and residing in South Tampa. I have worked in many areas of the Tampa Bay, and will communicate my familiarity with any area to clients. Naturally, in real estate, agents are “on” all the time. I do things to balance work with family such as turn off the phone and computer for a couple of hours so I can have time with my wife and daughter whether it is to have a family meal, visit with my wife or help with homework.
