- Description
- Welcome to our new corporate office. Bay Vista Realty is a Family owned firm that is home to some of the best and Brightest in The Greater Tampa Bay Region. Stop at our Website to glean all you can!
About Us:
 Having served more than 19 years in the Military I have a direct knowledge of the special needs and circumstances that military and government families face. I understand the hardships of having only one family member pick out the living quarters for the next 3 to 4 years and I have designed my office and service to accomodate that. We have a complete video system on hand for the best idea of what your "Advance Party" has picked out. With Bay Vista Realty, you neve go it alone. If your service or organization is relocating you to or from the Tampa-Saint Petersburg area in the near future, contact me and we can develop a plan of attack for your particular need.

I manage a Team of Professionals that combine their efforts to maximize our marketing plan. Members of my team are specialists in the various Aspects of every Real Estate Transaction. From my Financial strategist to my Closing Coordinator. Together we can sell a home much faster and for more money that the typical "one man show" and no For Sale By Owner can ever match our market presence.

In 2000 I took a hiatus from Real Estate to study languages full time at the Defense Language Institute. I now am a lifelong student of the Serbian and Croatian languages and use them on a daily basis in my Real Estate Practice. Combining my knowledge of the language with my experience in Real Estate, I have become one of the areas leading Realtors in helping our newest citizens find the home that fits their needs.

As a Native of Tampa (my family arrived in Tampa over 100 years ago) Originally started, as the story goes, that My Grandmothers Grandfather was Teddy Roosevelt’s Personal Doctor and became the Doctor/Surgeon for the Rough Riders. The Riders camped out in Tampa Bay at what is now Fort Homer Hesterly.( I began My Military Career there) on the way to Cuba. The story also tells us that while the soldiers were fighting (the popular version depicts Teddy leading the charge up San Juan Hill) My Great Great..Great Grandfather and Teddy were on the veranda of the Bacardi Hacienda enjoying the local delights. One of which later became my Great Great Great Grandmother. So anyway.... I know this area as well as anybody can. Please contact me so I can discuss various areas with you and together we can find the right home for you based on your needs.

Areas of Expertise:
I primarily work with the investment community. My other passions are the Military and helping the younger soldiers understand Real Estate and getting involved and then finally as a Private Pilot, I will sell anything that requires a quick jaunt in my Cessna for the Listing Presentation. Key West, no problem, I'll see you in a couple of hours. Also having been a professional negotiator for most of my Military Career, I have a much better idea of what it takes to establish a bargaining position than your typical agent. I entered this business seasoned, and have grown and learned form my transactions and my peers every day. Of all the things that I have learned in this business. I think that the most important lesson is that not everyone is trustworthy. And it is those that you trust the most that are the ones who will cheat you. That is why it is so important to use a Realtor. As Realtors, we subscribe to a code of Ethics and by and large, most Realtors take great pride in their work and their business ethics. Having said that, I always like to believe in my fellow man at the beginning of every transaction. But I am always on the lookout for the “tells”. Those little actions or words that let me know when the principle (my client or the other) is hiding something. I have “Fired” many clients for not being up front with me from the beginning and I have “displaced” a few agents as well. Honesty, loyalty, and Integrity are utmost in my firm.
Other interests are Public Speaking, and teaching. I always try to make any classes or seminars as fun (Funny) and enlightening as possible. I am a firm believer that one can retain more by laughing as much as possible. More people can remember a joke that they heard 20 years ago than can remember the Pythagorean Theorem. SO when ever I teach a seminar, I spend the first month of Prep. looking for funny stories that have to do with the topic. Then I get the remainder of the class ready. One day I would love to be a circuit speaker.
The ultimate culmination would be teaching Soldiers how to invest by traveling the country, appearing at various military Installations and making them laugh and then having them occasionally buy property through my firm. If I could do that in my private plane, That would be the best.
Testimonials:
For Sale By Owner is for [Expletive deleted]. After having two contracts fall apart on my house, I was about to sell it for a lot less to the third guy, and he "forgot" to show up for a scheduled appointment, making me late for my T-time with my own potential client. I lost my t-time, almost lost a large account and would have sold for thousands less if I hadn't heard Gary's number (917-Gary) on the radio.
I called Gary in route to the course, he met me that same day, he seemed allot like me and not pushy and that's why I hired him. Gary is, how can I say this, dedicated. He made me feel like his only client. Once I had his sign in my front yard, I began to notice them all over Tampa, so I knew he was working for other people, but I never could tell from him.
Readers Digest version, Gary brought me two qualified buyers and they started bidding against each other. in the end, I netted more than if I had sold on my own. With no stress and no appointments missed.
After the closing Gary said something that really made me think, he told me that trying to sell a home on your own is like picking up a hitch hiker, you still take all of the risk and they end up with a free ride. I don't know why he said it then, but the fact is I don't pick up hitchhikers, but I did allow my wife to show our house to countless unknown individuals, that was the scary part.

As a new investor, it is important to me to know that I am not alone in my real estate projects.
I´ve sought great comfort in knowing that Gary De Pury is dedicating his talents towards my endeavors.
My success is dependant on my peace of mind.
Simply put, Gary gives me that peace of mind.

Having served with Gary overseas with the Army, I trusted him with my life. When we returned home, it was second nature to trust him with my future. Gary dedicates himself to my needs, ensuring that we both pursue the courses of action in real estate tailor-made to the goals that I have set. I wish that all real estate agents were as intimately familiar with the goals of their clients as Gary is to mine. Unfortunately, most of them are not, but most of them don´t hang up their work suits next to their Dress Greens, either.

I was frustrated and losing money. My Realtor did nothing to get my rental condo occupied. I fired her and hired Gary based on his seemingly ridiculous promise to get me more money per month and do it in 30 days. 29 Days later, my condo (which had been vacant for 4 months under [Removed]'s management) was leased at $14,000.00 per year and Gary has been my Real Estate Go-2-Guy ever since!!

If it weren't for Gary, and his Bay Vista team, I wouldn't have half the house that I have now. I am in the industry and I know allot of realtors, Gary has proven himself to me to be the only one that I will ever refer again. Most are out to earn a quick dollar, Gary is out to earn your trust and friendship. Bottom line up front, Gary has both from me.

Listen, the bottom line as Gary likes to say is how much you net. I tried for 3 months to sell my home and it was only seen twice. Gary asked me one question, why did you buy this house. Because that is how I plan to market it. I hired him and the rest is history. My Net? $184.00 more than my original asking price.
