🏡 OPEN HOUSE THIS SATURDAY | 11AM–1PM
If you’ve been looking for SPACE without the price tag, this one deserves a look. 👀
📍 507 Sportsman Park Drive, Seffner, FL 33584
💰 $498,000
📐 2,817 sq. ft. of living space
✨ Under $180/sq. ft.
🛏 4 bedrooms | 🛁 3.5 baths

And this home is BIG — over 4,000 sq. ft. total with spacious rooms, soaring ceilings, tons of natural light, and an easy indoor/outdoor flow that gives it all the Florida feels. ☀️🌴

One of my favorite things about this home is the character you don’t find everywhere: beautiful natural wood trim, wood baseboards, built-ins, and wood closets that add so much warmth and personality throughout.
You’ll also find a private office with French doors, formal living + dining spaces, a cozy family room with fireplace, split-bedroom floor plan, oversized primary suite, covered lanai, full pool bath, and a yard surrounded by mature landscaping.
PLUS some of the big-ticket items have already been handled:
✨ New roof — 2025
✨ Repiped — 2024
✨ Exterior paint — 2024
✨ A/C ductwork — 2023

At $176.78/sq. ft., you’re getting a LOT of home for the money.

👉 One thing I really value is working with professionals who communicate well, make themselves accessible, and can explain complicated situations in a way that actually makes sense.
When it comes to buying a home, having a knowledgeable Realtor and the right lender in your corner from the beginning can make such a difference.

That’s one of the things I appreciate about working with Melissa Melissa Panesso-Rodriguez 🏠✨ She’s local, bilingual, easy to talk to, and does a great job communicating with my clients and helping them understand their options.

Over lunch, we talked about ways we can better reach and educate our community and make sure people know they have resources available to them— especially those who may want to buy a home but simply don’t know where to start.

And sometimes, that’s really what people need first: honest information, helpful guidance, and someone willing to take the time to answer their questions.

Grateful for these women and days like this. 🤍

🏡 Just listed in Dover!

If you’ve been looking for more space, privacy, and a little bit of country living without giving up the Florida pool lifestyle, this one is worth a look. 👀

📍 13221 Tom Gallagher Rd, Dover, FL
🛏 4 bedrooms
🛁 3 bathrooms
📐 2,599 sq. ft.
🌳 5+ fully fenced acres
🏊‍♀️ Screened-in pool
🌾 Pole barn + storage shed
🏠 Roof 2023 | A/C 2023

One feature I especially like is the amount of usable outdoor space—the acreage is already divided into separate fenced areas, with plenty of room to spread out.

The home has also had several updates over the years, and a pre-listing inspection was completed prior to hitting the market.

With 5+ acres, there may also be possibilities for additional uses of the property, subject to zoning, land-use and permitting requirements.

Want the price, additional photos, or full property details? Send me a message and I’ll be happy to share them. 💗

There’s something about August that feels like a fresh start. 🌿

Back-to-school routines, getting the house back in order, settling into work again, dinners at home, homework at the counter… it almost feels like a second New Year.

And sometimes, a new season gets you thinking about what’s next.

If homeownership has been somewhere in the back of your mind, don’t assume it’s out of reach. There are new home communities in Plant City, different financing options, and opportunities that might surprise you.

You don’t have to be ready today. Sometimes it starts with simply knowing what’s possible. 🏡

Here’s to new routines, fresh starts, and taking care of the people and places that matter most. 🤍

☀️ Summer Market Snapshot
There are a lot of headlines—and even more opinions—about today's real estate market. But the truth is, real estate is local.
In this carousel, I'm breaking down three of the biggest real estate myths I've been hearing this summer:

❌ Homes aren't selling.
❌ It's a buyer's market.
❌ Price reductions mean something's wrong.

Here's what's actually happening in our local market:

📍 In Hillsborough County, the market has become more balanced. Buyers have more inventory to choose from, giving them more time to compare homes and negotiate.

📉 More than half of active listings have had at least one price reduction. That doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with those homes—it often means sellers are adjusting their pricing to better align with today's market and buyer expectations.

🏡 Homes are still selling, but buyers are being more selective. Well-priced, well-presented homes continue to attract interest.

Every neighborhood is different, and what's happening nationally doesn't always reflect what's happening right here in our local market.

If you're wondering what today's market means for your home or your buying plans, I'm always happy to help.

What’s one real estate myth you’ve heard of lately? 👇

I’ve noticed something…

A lot of people have heard of Florida’s Hometown Heroes program, but they’re not exactly sure what it is, who qualifies, or how it actually works.

So I wanted to break it down and keep it simple.

I hope this gives you a better understanding of what the program is all about. 🏡

If you’d like to find out whether you qualify, the best first step is talking with a lender. I can connect you with a local trusted lender and they can review your situation and let you know what options may be available. 🤝💸
