With three decades of real estate experience and deep roots in St. Petersburg, Kim Royals is a trusted advisor known for her market knowledge, accessibility, and unwavering commitment to her clients. Originally from Chicago, Kim has called St. Pete home for 30 years—long enough to watch the city transform into one of Florida’s most vibrant coastal markets while developing a nuanced understanding of its neighborhoods, trends, and lifestyle offerings.
Kim’s path into real estate began during her husband’s 15-year career in the NFL, a period marked by frequent relocations and constant change. Moving nearly every six months meant buying and selling homes quickly and often, giving her firsthand insight into the challenges of relocation and the importance of making smart, timely decisions. What started as necessity soon became a passion. She began investing on her own—primarily in condominiums, many of them beachfront—and developed a reputation for spotting potential, renovating thoughtfully, and flipping with success. The lessons she learned from those early investments, including the ones that didn’t go as planned, shape the knowledgeable, practical guidance she offers clients today.
Known for her loyalty, integrity, and clear communication, Kim brings a calm confidence and enthusiasm to every transaction. Her specialty areas—St. Petersburg and downtown Tampa—are communities she knows inside and out, though she is always willing to go wherever her clients need her. Clients choose her for her depth of experience, her accessibility, and the assurance that comes from working with someone who truly understands the market from every angle.
Beyond her real estate work, Kim is deeply involved in the community. She serves as President of the Retired NFL Players Wives Association, organizing events, fundraisers, and programs that bring people together and support meaningful causes. She loves the walkable, energetic lifestyle that defines St. Pete—its live music, eclectic restaurants, festivals, markets, and the ease of being minutes from both the beach and downtown. In her free time, she enjoys riding her e-bike to the shore, boating as a newly licensed captain, traveling, and spending time on the water through her boat club.
