Welcome
This website is one piece of a multi-faceted service commitment that combines personal, one-on-one attention with dynamic web and e-mail resources to deliver the most comprehensive and timely service to you.
As your real estate agent, I'll bring my years of experience successfully buying and selling homes in the local market. I know the neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, zoning regulations and what it takes to make the deal go through.
It takes a full-time commitment - anything less and you'd be short changed. As a full-time agent, I'm able to "work the market" for you, keeping up-to-date with new listings and conditions as they impact the market.
It would be my honor to serve as your real estate agent. Let's get together to talk about your home buying and/or selling plans. Call me at the office (727-847-4444) or on my cell phone (727-858-4588) or send me an e-mail (CBennett@prutropical.com), we'll set-up a time to meet that is easy and convenient for you.
