TAMPA BAY REALTOR: Just a little diddy about me

Dana is a scuba diving, Harley ridiing, cigar smoking, boating Realtor with specialization from 1st time home buyers to luxury waterfront homes... 

Dana is currently a Realtor with Charles Rutenberg Realty as well as being a member in good standing with Greater Tampa Area Realtor (GTAR), Florida Association Realtors (FAR) and National Association Realtors (NAR) . As a member of Tampa Bay International Real Estate Council and International Consortium of Real Estate Associations, places he holds designations as a Transnational Referral Certified and a Certified Home Marketing Specialist. As a member of the Women Council of Realtors, he was the platinum sponsor in 2007 and 2008. After graduation from Castle Heights Military Academy, Dana received degrees in Finance and marketing from University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Mississippi State University. He received his SEC series 3, 4, 6,7, 24 and 52 securities license and was a mortgage-backed securities trader. He spent a more than a decade trading FHLMC(Freddie Mac) and FNMA(Fannie Mae) securities. When he married his wife, Jennifer, she was then and is still a mortgage loan officer. She convinced him to join her as a loan officer at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. For 18 years they were a mortgage team working with Realtors, builders and home buyers from all economic and ethnic walks of life. 

During the volatile real estate/mortgage era of the mid 2000's, his friends/colleagues convinced him to transition from mortgages to real estate. He did and has never looked back. He still maintains relationships with pass clients that depend on his assistance with mortgage questions.

But now, along with his wife who has 26 years experience as a loan officer, processor and mortgage underwriter they make a dynamic team....covering both real estate---sales, listing, buying, property management and all aspects of mortgage lending.

Dana Devine is not your ordinary Realtors. When it comes to thinking outside the box...there is no Box.  To learn more about Dana, connect on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Plaxo, MySpace or Google ME

Vacant Home Management Assistance

WHAT IS THE DEVINE SHOWCASE MODEL HOME PROGRAM?

 

DEVINE SHOWCASE HOMES offers a service designed to assist Realtors and Property Owners   in marketing their vacant listings.

We provide a professional Home Manager through our network to care for the home and working with our interior design team beautifully furnishes and decorates the vacant house creating a model home atmosphere. The Manager occupies and maintains the property while it is on the market. The home shows beautifully and enables potential buyers to appreciate the value of the home.

The house is safeguarded against weather damage and vandalism, and is not subject to excessive insurance premiums. Insurance premiums on vacant properties are  400% OR higher than on occupied properties.

DEVINE SHOWCASE HOMES is responsible for utilities, lawn and pool maintenance, and other holding costs such as pest control and fertilization. The property may remain on lock box and is available for showings with a courtesy call from 9 AM until 6 PM daily.

 DEVINE SHOWCASE HOMES secures the property, reduces holding costs and helps you market the property in the shortest amount of time. We focus on properties valued at $400,000 to multi-millions.

A DEVINE SHOWCASE HOME demonstrates a high level of comfort, practicality and value for which the buyer can relate. Increase the salability and perceived value of your vacant property while decreasing your holding costs and marketing time.

We are the "seller's advantage"... turning vacant listings into DEVINE SHOWCASE HOMES. Visit our website today for more information on this unique concept.

Testimonials...unedited: as written with mispelled words and bro

 

Hi Pat

Just to give you some words of help. Dana has told me you looking to buy a second home in Florida as me and my friend Nick just did. We bought a house in Orlando 4113 vessel court and Dana did all of the work on our behalf as we were in the uk( Nottingham ) we built up such a good repour with him we gave him power of attorney to help us complete on time. Dana went the extra mile for us showing various work men around the house and arranging all sorts of help.

He is not only a good realtor but a great person. And made it all so easy.

Per a work transfer, my family and I moved cross country to Tampa Florida.Our search began with real estate websites, which lead to interviews withseveral realtors. Dana won our trust by listening to our needs andresponding in pro-active positive multimedia responses. He was not afraidto pick up the phone and call us to ensure we had the answers we needed andgage the full meaning behind the questions ...  instead of just respondingwith canned emails.

 We had one 3-day trip to find our new home. The first day, Dana showed usspecific houses Nathan and I picked out from internet searches.  The secondday, he showed us houses in the same neighborhood as the ones we selected since it was close to my future office.  The last day, he asked us to trusthim.  He showed us houses in a different neighborhood that met all of our needs.  You see, each day, Dana had been compiling a picture of what we liked/disliked about the houses and compared it to what we "said" we wanted.  From this analysis, he selected the perfect properties to show us.

And, we found our new home.

 Dana understood the emotional ups and downs of the offer and closing process and he was attentive to our needs. He negotiated a good deal which included closing costs, worked closely with our loan officer to meet our contracted obligation dates, organized the home inspections, and when needed was on site for specific activities since we could not attend in person. From beginning to end, Dana was our advocate in the home buying process. And, for that, we are thankful.

Michael D Holmes, First Time Homebuyer:

TO Dana and Jennifer Devine,

I wish to express to you my profound thanks for your assistance in helping me buy my first home. Your supportive guidance and assistance kept me strong in the belief that it really was possible for me to actually buy a home. From the first moment I walked into your office you treated me graciously and took me seriously as a potential home buyer. You made me believe that we were a team working toward a common objective.

I will always be grateful to you both because I know that without your help this lifelong dream would never have come true!

 

Sincerely
