Are you looking for a real estate team that truly supports your growth and sets you up for long-term success? Here’s why you should join me at Watson Realty Corp:

I’ve built my career on a foundation of customer service and hard work, learned early in my family’s restaurant business in Danbury, Connecticut. Since moving to Gainesville in 1987 to attend the University of Florida (Go Gators!), I’ve earned a bachelor’s and two master’s degrees from UF, and have been a full-time Realtor since 2004—successfully practicing residential, commercial, and investment real estate.

My wife Leslie and I are hands-on investors with real experience developing and managing commercial properties. I also have deep roots in this industry: Past Realtor of the Year, Past President of the Gainesville Alachua County Association of Realtors, District Vice President for Florida Realtors, and President of Gainesville Sunrise Rotary. I’m proud to have served our community with the Ronald McDonald Charities and to stay active on Realtor committees at every level—local, state, and national.

As Managing Broker and Vice President of Watson Realty Corp’s Gainesville, Tioga, and Ocala offices, I make it my mission to hire, train, and have the backs of every agent on my team. We’re passionate about creating a professional, welcoming culture where your individual goals matter. Agents on my team get hands-on mentorship, ongoing training, and the power of a respected brand behind them. Whether you’re new to real estate or ready to level up—this is an environment where you can thrive.

If you want to work alongside experienced, ethical, and successful professionals, let’s talk. I know what it takes to succeed in Gainesville, Ocala, and Alachua County—and I’d love to help you do the same.

Ready to take your career to the next level? Reach out and let’s build something great, together.
