Your Vision. Your Home. My Mission.

Buying new construction is different. Your representation should be too.

I specialize in helping home buyers navigate new construction throughout Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Dade City, San Antonio, Brooksville and Tampa. I know the communities, the builders, the incentives and the differences that can easily get overlooked when you're focused on finding the perfect home. My job is to help you look beyond the model home and understand the full picture before you make a decision.

From comparing communities and builders to evaluating homesites, floor plans, upgrades, incentives and the fine print, I'm focused on helping you make smart decisions — not simply getting you to the sales center. You have someone in your corner who understands the new-construction process and is looking out for your interests throughout the purchase.

And you don't have to have it all figured out before we talk. If you're just starting to explore where you want to live, what you can afford, or whether new construction is right for you, that's exactly where my expertise can be most valuable.

Before You Shop

See what down payment help you qualify for

Florida has down payment assistance programs at the state, county, city, employer and lender level, and the most common reason buyers miss them is assuming they earn too much to qualify. Many programs have no first-time-buyer requirement and income limits well above what people expect.

About Bobby

Knowledge, Action, Results

I retired from the Navy as a Command Master Chief — responsible for the welfare, training, and readiness of every Sailor in the command. That job came down to giving people accurate information and a plan they could trust. Real estate is the same work in different clothes.

I work Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Dade City, San Antonio, Brooksville, and Tampa. Most of what sells here is new construction, where the contract is written by the builder and the friendly agent in the model home works for the seller. Bring me on your first visit, not your third — with most builders, that first visit decides whether you have anyone reading the paperwork on your side. My team and I handle resale too.

I'm one year into this with one closing behind me — a new build in Jacksonville for a military family moving on orders, so I know the VA loan and what a PCS does to a calendar. I won't pretend the list is longer than that. Before this I spent ten years as a landlord and bought and sold five homes of my own.

Most of my year has gone into showing people what their real numbers look like. Some bought. Some waited. Both were right, because the decision was theirs and they had the whole picture.

First house or next one — I'd like to help.

Monthly Payment Calculator

Most calculators give you principal and interest and stop there — which is how a $2,552 payment turns into $3,600 by closing. This one includes property taxes, Florida insurance, association fees and mortgage insurance, and shows you what each piece actually costs.

Use today's quote from your lender — this field is not live and the default is only a starting point.
Florida insurance swings hard on roof age, build year and flood zone. Get a real quote early, not at closing. Taxes here are figured on the purchase price and do not account for the homestead exemption, so they run a little high on purpose.
Association dues, and anything else billed monthly. If the home you're looking at carries a special district assessment, ask me — I'll get you the real figure rather than guess at it here.
Fills in automatically from your down payment. Real rates run about 0.3%–1.5% a year and credit score drives most of the spread — a 760 score at 10% down might see 0.35%, a 650 score at 3% down closer to 1.2%. Enter your lender's quote if you have one.

Some Pasco County communities also carry a district assessment that lands on your tax bill on top of taxes and dues. I don't publish estimates for those — the amounts vary and go out of date. If the home you're looking at has one, ask me and I'll pull the current parcel record.
