I'm a U.S. Military Veteran, Eagle Scout, and one of Keller Williams' Top 1% Military Agents nationwide. Since 2019, I've helped 265+ families close over $114M in real estate across Sarasota and Manatee Counties. I lead The Pepper Team at KW On The Water Sarasota, specializing in luxury, waterfront, golf-course, equestrian/ranch, and acreage properties. Sellers choose me for a data-driven pricing strategy and a powerful launch plan: cinematic video, targeted paid digital placement, local SEO, and private agent-to-agent networks that reach qualified buyers across the U.S. and internationally. I also excel at relaunching homes that didn't sell the first time. Buyers rely on my market knowledge, negotiation skills, and off-market access. I'm hands-on, responsive, and I project-manage the details--from prep and vendor coordination to a smooth close. Military families and veterans are a priority. If you're PCS'ing to or from MacDill AFB--or relocating nationwide--I'll connect you with trusted, experienced military-friendly partners and ensure a seamless move.

My wife and I relocated to Florida from Utah. We were referred to Andrew and his team by our Utah Realtor. He and his team were great to work with. They were very understanding and responsive to our needs. No request was ignored and they were dealt with them in a timely, professional manner. We would definitely recommend Using the Pepper Team. If we are ever in the market to make another purchase, we will be reaching out to them.

Our experience with the Pepper team was amazing! They helped us sell our home and the process was beyond smooth! Everyone on that team is amazing and you can tell its because of Andrews amazing leadership. We tried to sell ourselves for almost a month and had no offers, once we went with the Pepper team we had multiple offers within a day of their listing being out. They guided us so we could take the best offer, so we accepted one of them and everything went so smooth that we didnt have to worry about absolutely anything, specially with all the loan troubles that selling ourselves would have been! They also helped us find our next home and referred us to great team out of state. They are without a doubt the best Realty Team anyone can wish for when selling and/ or buying!

My Husband and I have used Andrew Pepper and his amazing team twice now and will also be using them for our next purchase because they make it so dang easy! They made both buying and selling a breeze and quickly answered ANY questions we had. If you are using anyone else you are probably leaving time and money on the tableaEUR|
