Development-Focused Broker | Land, Entitlements, and Investment Strategy

Results-driven real estate broker and developer advisor specializing in land acquisition, entitlement strategy, and investment-grade asset positioning across the Tampa Bay market.

With over 20 years of experience, I work directly with builders, investors, and private equity groups to identify, structure, and execute high-performing residential and mixed-use developments.

My focus goes beyond traditional brokerage — I help clients unlock value through:

Entitlement and zoning strategy

Site positioning and highest & best use analysis

Pro forma modeling and deal structuring

Pre-construction marketing and absorption strategy

Capital alignment and investor packaging

?? Track Record & Execution

Successfully positioned and marketed shovel-ready development sites for maximum value

Led projects from concept through approvals and into sale or vertical construction

Structured deals that improved land valuation and financing outcomes

Delivered top-of-market pricing through strategic positioning and targeted exposure

Experience with short-term rental communities, townhome developments, and mixed-use assets

?? Who I Work With

Residential & commercial developers

Private investors and equity groups

Landowners seeking to maximize asset value

Builders looking for pipeline opportunities

? Approach

I operate as a strategic partner, not just a listing agent — combining market intelligence, development insight, and marketing precision to drive results.

Every deal is approached with a focus on:

Maximizing return

Reducing risk

Accelerating timelines
