I am Tampa Florida Real Estate Broker that started McCullough & Associates Realty Inc in 2014.  I have been enjoying life in Florida now for over 20 years.  I am orignially from Northern Virginia (NOVA) where I had lived in a town called Reston. Reston was 15 minutes from Tysons Corner, home of the insane shopping malls and 20 minutes to Washington D.C., our Nations Capital.

I have witnessed how real estate can explode in an area and almost change it's atmosphere and so I headed south for palm trees and golf courses with the beach minutes away. So now, I live just oustide Tampa... directionally, I'd say "North West of Tampa" about 30 minutes.  This place offers me everything I want and more....we have affordable golf courses, fantastic beaches, palm trees, shopping malls, outlets, running trails, anything one could one want.  The last bonus living in Florida after living up north is that when it comes to get togethers with family and friends from up north, the best idea is to always host and let them come to you. 

McCullough & Associates Realty, Inc. based in Trinity, Florida after learning the basics at two different real estate firms knowing that was the best area to be in when it comes to new growth for the area. Now prior to this I had been a a mortgage broker/banker for a few different lending institutions learning all sides of the lending buisness. After 2008 when the banks locks their doors and literally shut down and stopped taking loans I took a position as Director of Operations of a General Practice law firm that really ended up with many real estate, foreclosure and bankruptcy cases. I was in charge of all the business end of things at the firm such as marketing and accounts recievables.  I feel that all this had prepared me for managing my own real estate office.  So I take my passion for real estate and try to combine that with being a resource for my friends and other agents.  So whether you work for me or just work along side of me, I want to hear your stories and I want to learn something new from you as well.  I have a few friends that I do believe I can call, have a 5 minute conversation with them, and then come away from that conversation with "a tip" or something profound or new.  If you feel you are alway one of these types of people, please connect with me and let's do some business together.  

I try to offer unparalleled real estate services to my clients and recognize that the needs of every client are going to be slightly different from the last or even the next.  Customer service, I believe, is becoming their friend and willing to do whatever they need even if that requires additional research or recognisancee.  I have always had my technology up to date and utilize some of the cushy services like always have drone photography and a strong online pressence so that we have our properties seen from a safisticated point of view. The commercial market is even easier for me to really show my attention to detail in advertising.  Have you been on Loopnet recently? Even now, on Loopnet, where I spend good money on a monthly basis advertsing clients properties, I still see people (other agents) that may have only one photo or no description. It drives me nuts because we are supposed to be "Marketers, marketing peoples property" and No Photo? Ahh....I digress.  

Anyway, I have been fortunate so far and able to cover quite a lot of territory closing deals nad working with Realtors all over Florida, from Miami to West Palm or Jacksonville. Referrals are a big deal to me since that's pretty much what puts gas in the tank for me and always has.  I have always been good at knowing who the guy is for "pretty much anything" and I believe that helps tremendously to serving as a resource to my friends and clients as well. If a deal is too far away, chances are I know a very good agent that will care about their business the way I do and I will be able to research them a little bit and know that my clients are going to be in good hands.  So far the ActiveRain has come in very handy for picking up a few extra thousand here and there. 

I have also consulted people over the years in the areas of credit repair, restoration, and improvemed consistency.  Many know that half of the battle with obtaining financing is having good credit history.  I believe in addition to my crazy work ethic and the fact that I can never really ever shut up or shut off the "real estate in my head" that I am an all around easy going guy that is always looking forward to meeting another person with questions in real estate. It doesn't matter whether someone is into commercial real estate or residential real estate, I am interested in learning from others just as much as I am teaching. 

I have flipped houses over the years and handled a variety of different things involved around real estate for all aspects of leasing, sales and even building or construction. Sometimes people call me in as a "consultant" as to what they should do to their home to make it sell for more. I then will give them some time and referrals to complete those tasks and then list the property for considerably more. So if you are intersted in selling or purchasing a primary residence, second home, beach house, "Florida' house" or even flipping any kind of investment property in Florida, please reach out to me.
