Realtor Profile

My Real Estate Career

I started my career as a realtor in 2002 as a part of a two-person team, coinciding with the launch of Sand Dollar Realty. Over the past two decades, the company owner/broker Dane Ayers and his wife Kim have continued to operate our small firm as a tight-knit, close family. Together, we have witnessed many productive multi-million-dollar years helping countless sellers and buyers.

Real Estate Activity

As a single real estate agent, I’m proud to say that I’m closing in on twenty million in residential sales! I’ve had the opportunity to list and sell properties in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, and Hillsborough counties, as well as transactions in other surrounding areas. It’s been a rewarding experience to help my clients navigate the complex Florida real estate market.

Education

I am proud to have earned my master’s degree from Liberty University and my undergraduate degree from Trinity College of Florida. Furthermore, I also previously earned a certificate in Accounting from Webster Business College. I am grateful and truly value my educational and professional experiences. However, none have given me the perspective and appreciation of the American dream as my service in the US Navy.

Continued Education

When the pandemic caused me to be stuck at home, I saw an opportunity to pursue further education and training, this is when I pursued a second graduate degree with a concentration in strategic communications and social media management. This more recent education has been immensely helpful in understanding the impact of modern media, especially social media, on real estate. I am able to see through the noise of social media and recognize its impact, and I believe this will be a valuable asset to me in my career. Furthermore, one of the areas I found to be very helpful is the additional training and designation I earned as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist.

NAR Membership

I am grateful for the National Association of Realtors, and being a member is of great value to me in my career as a realtor. Realtor.com, the official website of the National Association of Realtors, is the trusted real estate platform because it strictly focuses on data accuracy and works exclusively with licensed real estate agents.

My Beginnings

My “About Us” page contains my background, education, real estate experience, and core values. Long before I was a realtor, my late father modeled faith in God and the value of never leaving a task undone, especially never leaving a mess for someone else to clean up. No About Us section of any profile would be complete without honoring his influence on my life. After all, as men, fathers’ model who we will become.

Positive Attitude

My father’s positive attitude enabled him to tackle every task as if he were having the best day ever. That is a winning mindset for life, it has taken me years to realize how important this truly is. This work ethic has helped me throughout my professional life. Growing up, Dad was my scoutmaster and fishing guide. He gave me my love for the outdoors, hiking, camping, and especially sailing. He was always the top salesman in his professional life, and his success was built on his adherence to the golden rule. In his later years, he and my stepmom owned a veteran foster home, it is here I can still see him kneeling and tying the shoes of a WWII veteran in his care with the biggest smile on his face. My dad taught me to embrace biblical manhood: the most significant advantage in life is having a great dad and then aspiring to be one.
