Hi I'm Tammy Cline. I've called Southwest Florida home since 1990, long enough to know where the best beaches are, how to dodge the snowbirds during season, and which neighborhoods are about to be THE Next Big Thing! I'm a REALTOR(R) with the designations to prove I'm serious about my professional (GRI, AHWD, CLHMS - I know it, looks like alphabet soup, but it means I know my stuff!!) Make no mistake, I don't spend all my time taking classes (even though they are helpful and they give you free cookies!) I actually spend a lot of my time negotiating contracts, showing properties, coordinating inspections, and the 1000 other tasks a great REALTOR does for their customers. When I'm not doing real estate stuff, I'm out living the Great Florida Life with my partner/husband of almost 30 years, Shawn. We're empty nesters now, so we're out rediscovering the area beyond soccer fields and school functions... It also means that I can now channel all that pent up "mom energy" and use it to help people find the perfect home. I love people, I'm fun, and yes, I'll crack a joke here and there, but when it's time to negotiate, I bring my A-game. So whether you're buying, selling or just dreaming about your next move on Florida's Suncoast, I'm your go-to gal. Let's make it happen-and have a little fun while we do!

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
The most important thing is to have the right team on your side! You want to work with a trusted real estate professional as well as a trusted local loan officer, who is experienced and understands how our taxes and insurance work. Florida is a completely different animal than other states. We have many variables such as flood insurance, homestead, portability, taxes, building codes, permitting, understanding our contracts and the many addenda that go with it, etc. Also, work with professionals that are going to make themselves available for you, provide valuable advice, and match your personality. Remember, you're going to be working with your team for months and sometimes years, so it's good to work with people you enjoy spending time with!
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Price it right from the start, stage it to shine and of course, hire a LOCAL REALTOR who knows the local market inside and out. Price, timing and presentation are key to selling quickly and for the highest possible price.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I've worked with first-time home buyers, snowbirds (part time residents), I've worked with investors and 1031 exchanges, I have worked probate home sales (when the owner passes away, and the heirs sell), luxury clients, and many other scenarios. Some are positive circumstances and some are sad circumstances. No matter what the circumstance, real estate is almost always the largest investment or sale of your life, and I always have my clients' best interests has my number one priority.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
Lately, I have been working with more and more first home buyers. I love working with first-time home buyers because I got a lot of satisfaction out of educating my new buyers along the way and mapping out possible pitfalls along the way before they happen so I can better prepare the client. By the time we are finished with their transaction, they feel like Real Estate pros!!! It's a great feeling to convert someone from the world of renting to the world of building their wealth!!
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
It's funny, I feel like real estate is in my blood. My grandfather, my father, and some of my uncles worked in commercial property management. As a little girl, instead of playing teacher, I played REALTOR with my friends. I entered the world of property management many years ago and decided it was just not where I wanted to be, so I took a long hiatus from Real Estate and helped my husband build his business, but I couldn't stay out forever, and I re-entered the real estate business in 2017!
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
In real estate there are thousands of opportunities to grow your knowledge and spread your wings. Currently I am working on obtaining my broker's license. I have several different designations that have been very advantageous in past transactions. I think what has helped me most is when I helped my husband grow his business. I really learned the ins and outs of being a good business person and doing what you say and saying what you do. I learned how important it was to answer phone calls, listen to your clients, think before you speak and many other important lessons along the way.

Tammy is a wonderful real estate agent to work with. She is patient and takes her time explaining everything necessary when buying a new home. I really liked that she has extensive knowledge of the area because she has lived here for so many years. She returns phone calls, emails and texts really fast which is great when you have quick question or need assistance figuring something out.
