For me, this sentiment couldn’t be truer. Every client I work with isn’t just another transaction – they’re a story, a relationship, and oftentimes, they become friends. Building relationships is at the core of what I do, and it’s this personal connection that allows me to truly understand and meet my clients’ goals, whether they’re buying or selling. This is what I love most about the business – it’s not just about properties; it’s about people and their stories.
Recently, I had the pleasure of working with two incredible buyers, Rich and Charles, who were referred to me by a longtime colleague in Orlando from my 18 years at Olde Town Brokers. What started as a professional connection quickly blossomed into a genuine friendship. Over two days, we embarked on a whirlwind house-hunting adventure, exploring 18 homes from New Port Richey to Bradenton. Together, we navigated the twists and turns of the market, the golden sands of the Gulf Coast, eventually landing on the perfect property in Bradenton – aptly nicknamed the “Friendly City.”

With its vibrant arts and culture scene, stunning beaches, and beautiful parks, Bradenton is truly an amazing place to retire. After some careful negotiation, we secured the home and closed a few weeks ago, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Rich and Charles.
This home is more than just a second property for them; it’s their future retirement oasis. Currently residing in Durham, North Carolina, they plan to escape the winter chill by spending time in their new Florida home, soaking up the sun and enjoying the laid-back lifestyle of the Gulf Coast. As a housewarming gift I gave them some deck chairs to enjoy the new golden sands on their doorstep and we already have plans to meet up when they next visit.
Rich and Charles started as new clients, but by the end of our adventure, they had become close friends. We shared stories, celebrated victories, and created memories that will last long after the ink dried on the closing documents.
For me, this is the best part of being a Realtor. It’s not just about buying and selling properties; it’s about building relationships and being a part of the community’s story. I love being there for my clients, helping them navigate life’s milestones – whether it’s securing a first home, upgrading to a family home, or finding that perfect retirement spot. It’s about more than just the transaction; it’s about the connection and the community we create together.
If, like Rich and Charles, you’re looking for a retirement home in this beautiful part of the world, I’d love to help you find your perfect place. Let’s embark on this journey together, and who knows – if we’re not already, we might just become friends along the way! After all, there’s nothing quite like finding your dream home with someone who truly understands and cares about your goals. Let’s road trip together and discover the perfect place to call home.
Warm Regards,
Jeannie
