About Davis Brooks

I'm an experienced real estate investor for 20+ years and a licensed Florida realtor. I put my first rental property in service in 1985 and went full time as an investor in 1998. I never looked back after my 18+ years in telecom management.

Most of my real estate clients love the blend of investor and retail experience that I bring. I work with a lot of investors and off-market properties, but I have a significant retail business as well. My investor business includes:

- Multifamily
- Fix and flip
- Buy and hold
- VRBO and AirBnB short term rentals
- Sandwich leases
- Development properties in and beyond Florida

My retail business is about 2/3 sellers and 1/3 buyers in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Manatee counties.

I am much more than what people think of as a typical real estate agent -- I actually know and understand real estate and I get investor strategies. I have experience with:

- IRA deals
- 1031 exchanges
- Sandwich leases
- Assignments
- Probate
- Short sales
- REO
- Private lenders
- Hard money
- Seller financing
- Joint venture
- Short term rental management
- Mentoring new investors and agents
- Creative real estate transactions

People come to me because they know I have the expertise to help them with an atypical situation, or if they are looking for someone with lots of experience. I also manage long term and short term residential rental units for absentee owners including the:

- Advertising
- Lease execution
- Rent collection and deposit
- Make-ready between tenants
- Repairs to units

I have added training and certification in Resort and Second Properties (RSPS), Seniors (SRES), Short Sales and Foreclosures (SFR), and International Property (CIPS). I also have the Green REsource and At Home with Diversity certifications. I am a member of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian RE Professionals (NAGLREP) and the Asian American RE Association (AAREA).
