A field guide to Tampa Bay neighborhoods

By Mike Fuentes, REALTOR®, born and raised here

Buying or selling in Tampa Bay? Work with someone who actually knows the area. I help buyers find the right neighborhood and help sellers find out what their home is really worth. No pressure, no jargon, no pushing.

Range: 38 neighborhoods guided so far. Tap one to open it. Shoreline: U.S. Census Bureau. Locations approximate.

Selling: a real valuation, not a Zestimate.

Online estimates can be off by tens of thousands, because they don’t know your street or your floor plan. I pick the comparable sales by hand, look at your actual home, and send you a one page valuation with the number and how I got there.

What you get

Comparable sales picked by hand: your street, your floor plan, recent sales nearby
A one page writeup with the number and how I got there
In your inbox within 24 hours
Free, and yours whether or not you ever sell

Buying: the right neighborhood, without getting burned.

It’s easy to fall for a house before you really understand the neighborhood or what you’re getting for the money. I’ll help you figure out where you actually fit, and keep you away from the expensive surprises nobody warns first time buyers about.

What you get

An honest rundown on specific neighborhoods, written by a lifelong local
Schools, commutes, groceries and parks, neighborhood by neighborhood
Straight answers about the surprises nobody warns first time buyers about
Free, with no pressure to buy anything

Hi, I’m Mike.

I was born and raised in Tampa Bay, so I know these neighborhoods the way you only can from living here.

I’ve got a family of five, two of them dogs. You’ll get straight answers from me, even when the answer is wait.
