 Fred Griffin Florida Real Estate serves the Tallahassee Florida Metropolitan Area and more important to me is that Fred serves you and I with the excellent wisdom he shares with us right here on Active Rain.

First let me say that I think Fred would make a good Detective Joe Friday:  "All we want are the facts, ma'am". Fred always tells it like it is.

I never questioned where this wisdom comes from but in writing this post I found that Fred is an ordained Pentecostal minister and it only makes sense that Fred Griffin is also a recognized public speaker. Personally I would love to hear Fred deliver a sermon or speak on any topic at all. I'd like Fred to get involved with our Tuesday Zoom calls as He is a featured presenter at the Tallahassee Board of Realtors annual Technology Forum.  He has taught classes and led sessions at the Florida Association of Realtors Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida.   Fred has hosted forums and given speeches at Real Estate and Business Seminars in Tallahassee, Orlando, Sarasota, and Atlanta.

Fred has worked with Buyers and Sellers of Florida Real Estate since 1985.  A Florida Native (Venice/Sarasota County), Fred began his real estate career with Coldwell Banker, then worked with Century 21 and then Fred opened his own real estate company in 1993.

Talk about being well qualified as a Realtor Fred is a former member of the Sarasota Association of Realtors, the Ocala Marion County Association of Realtors, MLS Advantage, the Tallahassee Board of Realtors, the Florida Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and My Florida Regional MLS.

Another fun fact I found through Fred's bios is that he is a PADI Certified Open Water Scuba diver. What I did not find, even after a Google and AI search is what do the letters PADI stand for (a little help here Fred).

Fred is another Active Rainer that I've never met and I don't remember visiting with on the phone either BUT I feel as close to Fred as a brother. Fact is, we ARE brothers in Christ.

This is my third entry into the challenge Patricia Feager and Lew Corcoran put forward for February 2026. I hope you will enter too.  AR Member Appreciation Month.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Hi Bob- when I think of Fred Griffin Florida Real Estate one word comes to mind...HONORABLE.  He stands for something and that's not always the case with people. Good choice!

 Thank you Bob "RealMan" Timm 

    "PADI" stands for The Professional Association of Diving Instructors

    In Florida, we can dive into our beautiful fresh water springs.  The same clear water that "Deer Park" pumps straight out of the ground, and sells in America's grocery stores as bottled water.

    Or, plunge into the Gulf of America or the Atlantic Ocean.  A fascinating world awaits you there. 

  And the Florida Keys?   That underwater world rivals the Caribbean.   

     Air up your tanks, zip up your wetsuit (you will need it in the cold spring water), and let's dive in!

Fred Griffin Florida Real Estate looks great at the top of Mount Rushmore! I do believe our Lord uses Fred to encourage and minister to others - especially the ones most in need. Through the years of knowing Fred Griffin's name on ActiveRain, he has continuously had many right answers and suggestions in the Q&A. I know, I'm not the only one who honors Fred. This man is greatly appreciated. 

I am thankful you chose Fred to appreciating in public in such an honorable way. Also, I am most appreciative you didn't stop at one. You honored 3 Great Men!

I have one more to go Patricia Feager and at this point I have no clue who it will be. Writing about Fred Griffin Florida Real Estate felt really good as  like the first two I know him to be a brother in Christ.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - I am sooooooooooo proud of you for saying YES to the February 2026 - AR Member Appreciation Month

It's been fun Patricia Feager and I appreciate that you and Lew Corcoran undertook such a big project BUT as I said at the beginning 4 special posts in a month is indeed a challenge.

Thanks for sticking with the challenge and sharing that update, Bob "RealMan" Timm. We know that asking for 4 entries a month put a real strain on everyone, so the powers that be have decided to ease things up. Starting in March, there will be 2 challenges each month that you can respond to if you want, and each challenge will only require 1 entry for points. This should make the whole thing feel a lot more manageable for everyone.
