Happy 1st Birthday, Bookey!! I knew you were supposed to be mine.

Cooper’s registered name is Livin’s Renewal at Red Fern — a name chosen in homage to his great-great-grandmother, Toula — fearless, intuitive, born for the ring. And somehow, he carries so much of her with him.

This year we’ve stepped into the ring together, picked up points and majors, and renewed a spark in his Great-Aunt Love. But the ribbons are only part of the story.

There is something incredibly special about seeing pieces of the dogs you loved generations ago suddenly looking back at you again.

Maybe that’s what renewal really is.

Not starting over. Coming home.

Happy birthday, baby boy. ❤️

Own one of the few homes in Tampa that lives like a private boutique compound. Built in 2022, this architecturally striking contemporary residence includes a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house with its own private entrance, dedicated HVAC, and separate tankless water heater — already functioning as an income-producing property with an established short-term rental history. Both residences open to a private, west-facing courtyard framed by 15-foot accordion glass doors, with a fire pit and low-maintenance turf built for entertaining. Inside the main home, soaring 12-foot ceilings and impact-rated windows fill the space with light, and the chef’s kitchen features a waterfall-edge quartz island with premium Thor appliances. The primary suite offers two oversized walk-in closets and a skylit, spa-inspired bath, while a first-floor bedroom with its own ensuite adds privacy for guests. Additional highlights include all-block construction, hurricane-impact windows, a designer glass staircase, and a detached two-car garage with epoxy flooring. Available fully furnished as a true turnkey property.

Riverside Heights is one of Tampa’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, walkable to Armature Works, the Riverwalk, and Waterworks Park, with quick access to Downtown Tampa, Midtown, and Tampa International Airport.

**AI helped create this. My clients still get the real thing.**

That’s not me on the water — it’s AI, reimagining what this waterfront home looks like from a yacht instead of the driveway. Fun to build. Not the point.

The point: I test emerging tools because the agents who adapt fastest end up serving clients best. AI can generate a video in seconds. It can’t negotiate your contract, read the room during an inspection, or tell you why one street in South Tampa commands a premium over the one next to it. That still comes from 22 years in this market and $250 Million+ in closed sales.

The tools will keep evolving. What you’re actually paying for won’t.

Want to see how AI is changing the way I market luxury listings? Send me a message — I’ll walk you through it.

TAMPA | $1,924,900 | 5 Beds | 5 Baths | 3,528 Sq Ft | Riverside Heights

**Where do you want to live? Somewhere a 10-foot pivot door makes the first impression before you even walk in. 🏡**

This is one of the most significant new modern builds to hit Riverside Heights lately — a true one-of-one, not a cookie-cutter new build. The curb appeal alone is a showstopper: tile-wrapped pillars, a hidden garage with fluted composite detailing, floor-to-ceiling glass, and smart privacy tint across the entryway. Inside, an open-concept layout with engineered hardwood is anchored by a floating staircase with glass railings, and the custom kitchen features a 10-foot island, a built-in Bosch smart oven, and fully paneled appliances. Step out through a three-panel pocket sliding door to a custom saltwater, gas-heated pool and spa with an outdoor kitchen and pool bath. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private balcony, dual shower heads, a soaking tub, and a smart bidet, alongside a dramatic second bedroom with 20-foot ceilings and its own balcony. Built with intention throughout — security cameras at all four corners, whole-home speakers, and smart home control from a personal tablet.

Riverside Heights has become one of Tampa’s most sought-after addresses, with major development plans underway and quick access to Armature Works, the Riverwalk, Downtown Tampa, and Tampa International Airport.

TAMPA | $1,595,000 | 3 Beds | 3 Baths (2 Full, 1 Half) | 2,400 Sq Ft | Riverside Heights

**Where do you want to live? Somewhere designed by one of Tampa Bay’s most significant architects. 🏡**

Comment “HOME” and I’ll DM you the details, or reach out directly to schedule a private tour 👇

Originally designed by the late Thomas Everett Lamb, one of Tampa Bay’s most significant architects, and one of the first homes built through his collaboration with NEO Homes, this nearly new concrete block home is inspired by timeless mid-century modern design — striking symmetry, floor-to-ceiling windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor living throughout. Inside, custom built-ins and clean architectural lines carry through to a private backyard resort: a heated saltwater pool, spa, and marble paver terrace. The kitchen features white oak Lior cabinetry, Italian quartz countertops, and integrated Miele appliances, while Lutron lighting, enterprise-grade mesh Wi-Fi, and a monitored Ring security system run quietly behind the scenes. For investors, the home also carries a strong established rental history.

Riverside Heights has outperformed nearly every market in Tampa Bay over the last four years — minutes from Armature Works, the Hillsborough River, Downtown Tampa, Water Street, and Hyde Park, yet tucked away on a quiet, cozy street.
