Although I may appear to be the quintessential Floridian, I am actually a native of Wisconsin, who escaped the cold harsh winters there to enjoy life on the Suncoast. Growing up, my father was in real estate, so in the back of my mind it was always a strong career option me. I moved to Florida in 1999 and worked as a bartender at a handful of restaurants on Anna Maria Island & St. Armand’s Key before going back to school for marketing, multimedia technology, graphic design, internet business foundations, and web design. I began creating marketing plans and websites for Realtors®, then realized I was helping these agents become more successful, so why not do it for myself? I got my real estate license in 2012 and dove right in. Having comprehensive knowledge of the area I specialize in the stunning Anna Maria Island marketplace. People will say I’m a straight shooter because I present my clients with facts, wanting them to have a real understanding of the market before they make decisions. That approach has been very well-received because referrals are a large portion of my business. Because of my commitment to put my clients first, they feel extremely comfortable recommending me to their family and friends. Typically, properties don’t sell because they don’t get enough exposure, or they aren’t priced correctly but, I’m able to use my marketing and design background to create aggressive marketing plans for my listings and am always looking for new and innovative marketing techniques to give my clients a competitive edge. I also enjoy working with buyers, helping them visualize what the property’s potential might be and then negotiating the best deal for them. For me it’s really about making a client’s real estate dreams come true. My personal business philosophy is to provide superior customer service in everything I do and never stop improving. I love what I do because I get to help people from all over the world sell and purchase some of the most stunning real estate around, in a gorgeous beach community. I’m not just all work and no play though... I love spending time with my wife and two beautiful daughters paddle boarding, biking, and relaxing at the beautiful beaches, parks, and preserves here in Manatee County! I also make sure to find time for the occasional round of golf at one of the many fine courses on the Suncoast. I take great pride in the quality and level of service I provide for my clients. If you’re interested in buying, selling, or just browsing the market, I will be happy to assist you every step of the way. Call or text: 941-773-6572 - Email: jhrnak@gmail.com
