Just sold this infill lot in New Port Richey.

It had been sitting for months with another agent—no sign, minimal photos, and barely any description. I knew with a little more effort we could get it moving.

We adjusted the price closer to what the market was saying, and after some back and forth, the seller trusted the process. Ended up getting a full price offer in under a week, contingent on appraisal—and it came in $1K higher than where I originally advised. Always a good feeling.

I represented both sides on this one. Buyer plans to build and rent, then sell in 5–10 years depending on appreciation. Either way, it’ll cash flow in the meantime.

Solid deal all around, and gained a repeat seller out of it. On to the next.

Congrats to the homie Connor! Stoked for you and everything ahead.

Mexico City did not disappoint. I’ve been to a few spots in Mexico before, but never the capital—and it blew me away. Some areas felt like we were back in the States, others felt straight out of Europe. The history, the food, the people… all top tier.

Boys, we definitely need a round 2 😂

Just helped these buyers lock down a pool home in Apollo Beach 🏡☀️

Big shoutout to Neely for the referral and trusting me with your business — always appreciated 🙌

These buyers came in from Kentucky looking for their first place here in Florida. We got it done using FHA financing + a 4% credit… and they’re all in for under $15K 💥

Super smooth deal from start to finish. Having buyers with agent + inspector experience definitely made things seamless. Grateful I could help guide them through it 🤝

TONIGHT TBREIA South Tampa

Everyone talks about Airbnb money… but almost nobody talks about what actually works.

This month, investor & Honeyshares founder Keaton Thames is breaking down the REAL story behind short-term rentals — what’s hype, what’s profitable, and why so many investors fail before they ever cash flow.

What you’ll learn:

• Why STRs can outperform traditional rentals

• The biggest mistakes killing investor profits

• How to analyze a deal BEFORE you buy

• The truth about “passive income”

• How investors are earning without managing toilets & guest messages

If you’ve been curious about Airbnb investing, this is the session people will wish they hadn’t missed.

Seats will fill fast — don’t be the person hearing about it afterward. 👀

Just assigned this contract to an end buyer 🙌

Shoutout to my JV partner .jpegs who locked this one up on-market using A.I… straight wizard 🧙‍♂️

This deal was a tricky one—55+ community with a strict HOA approval process, and the sellers weren’t open to extending. On top of that, buyers were going around us making higher offers, pushing the timeline down to just 6 days 😅

Luckily we had a strong buyer who pivoted fast and got it done. With a 7-person communication chain that felt like a game of telephone, this one definitely had its share of ups and downs…

But we made it to the finish line 💪
Feeling real good about this one

🎉 CLOSED & CELEBRATED! 🎉
We just closed on 1125 77th Street N in Saint Pete, and we’re celebrating big because this deal was NO JOKE.
✓ Off-market find from an out-of-town wholesaler
✓ $25K in cleanout alone
✓ Full rehab from top to bottom
✓ Pending in just 3 DAYS
✓ $10K OVER asking
✓ 3-week close
This was one of the roughest properties I’ve seen, but .miranda14 , , and .toluganti absolutely crushed it. The market loved what they created—and honestly, the best part? When everyone knows the process, you stop telling and start thinking together. That’s what makes it great.
A few firsts and seconds worth celebrating:
🤝 2nd deal with Alex
🤝 3rd transaction with Jared🤝 1st deal with Jay
🤝 NOW our first one all together
Even with an inspection snag, this transaction went smooth. That’s what happens when you’re not just partners—you’re friends.
Cheers to the next deals together, fellas! 🍽️🏠

🏡 CLOSED! Another one in the books — and this one deserves its own highlight reel. 🎬

This beautiful pool home in Clearwater hit the market and buyers took notice immediately. 👀 We were under contract in under 5 days with 3 back-up offers, $35K over asking, an appraisal gap clause, and a 3-week close on the table. The investor did a phenomenal job on this property — and the market rewarded that. 🙌

Then came the curveball. ⚾ Four days before closing, the buyer lost his job.

In real estate, it’s not IF challenges arise — it’s WHEN. What matters is how your team responds. 💼 We pivoted to an asset-based loan and crossed the finish line thanks to:
✅ A buyer who stayed committed under pressure
✅ A seller who showed incredible patience
✅ A lender who was sharp, steady, and solution-focused

That’s what a great team looks like. 🤝 So grateful for everyone who made this closing happen!
