Connie Rivera Broker Associate at Gulf Life Real Estate

Gulf Life Real Estate Inc/ Broker Associate/GRI /SRES/RSPS
Lic Real Estate Instructor serving all of Florida and specializing in the Panama City Beach Panhandle area. Having been in the remodeling business for over twenty years, it is my passion for serving and helping others that drew me to a career in real estate. I am Connie Marie Rivera, a highly committed, reliable, and personable realtor with extensive specialized knowledge of the local real estate market.I am currently a realtor with Sand Dunes Real Estate Company in Miramar Beach FL, offering exceptional real estate services to the property buyers and sellers in Coastal or Country Panhandle, Florida.My slogan is ‘Panhandle Picker Gets Property Quicker’. Prior to transitioning into real estate, I spent my early professional years working in the hospitality industry, followed by a position as the New York Times Coordinator. Through these experiences, I learned the value of exemplary customer service, efficiency, and effective communication. Thereafter, I took a leave from my career to raise my two amazing children for ten years, after which I decided to fully venture into the remodeling business. Having handled project management, estimation, customer relations, and collections in the business, I leverage these skills to get top dollar for my selling clients, and the perfect homes for my buying clients. My specialty in remodeling, particularly in painting, installation of floors, trims, cabinets, and custom showers, also allows me to recognize and recommend remodeling needs to my clients when staging their property or on purchasing a home. In addition to my career in real estate, I have a great passion for community service, volunteer work, and giving back to the community. During my stay-at-home years, I volunteered at my kids’ school, serving in my children’s sports, youth events, dance events, and music events. I also served in several children’s ministries over the years, taking into our home and assisting many children and families in rebuild their lives. Additionally, I am part of the team that helped change the hit-and-run driving laws in the state of Florida. During my free time, I enjoy taking day trips, exploring new places, treasure hunting, fishing,golfing, and music festivals. I also treasure spending time with my family and dogs, and I take part in rescuing and rehoming dogs in my area. I love visiting beaches, rivers, and local springs, as well as collecting relics, antiques, and refurbishment items.
