Meet David Tipton, Tampa Bay Real Estate Broker
Welcome !! And thanks for visiting the Big Dog Real Estate BLOG.
I'm the Broker at Grady David Tipton Brokerage, based in the Tampa Bay Area. We are a small but growing office and we base our success on our in-depth knowledge of the marketplace and our standards of integrity.
I was born in Danville, Illinois, a small town about 90 miles south of Chicago, and about 90 miles west of Indianapolis. My family moved from Illinois to Tampa when I was 9 years old, and except for periods in the military and working with the Federal Government, I have lived in the Tampa area most of my life. I currently live in the Brandon area East of Tampa with my wife Cathy and our dog Beau and two cats, Cocoa and Maui.
I attended T.R. Robinson High School in Tampa and Graduated from the University of South Florida. I have spent a large portion of my life in the law enforcement field. I started with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and closed out my career with Customs and Border Protection with the Department of Homeland Security.
I have found that I love the real estate business as much as the law enforcement field, because I enjoy getting to know people and helping them. I have been a licensed Real Estate Broker in this state since 1986 and I have also been a licensed appraiser as well.
I have been an agent and managed a franchise real estate office as well as my own brokerage firm. I have found that I enjoy the freedom of being able to run my office my own way, implement my own rules and develop my own business plan. I believe that with the help of our team, that we have found a business plan that will allow us to make a decent living by providing professional service to our clients and still save our clients money which will hopefully allow them to live better. My favorite new client is one we receive receive a referral of a friend or relative of a satisfied client.

Ps. My brother-in-law Charlie started calling me Big Dog awhile back and it has stuck, thus the Blog name. The photo is of my family's faithful dog, Rocky, our own Big Dog.
