If you found this blog because you have a real estate question, you’re in the right place. I’m Randal Jenkins, a Florida real estate broker and licensed loan officer in Tampa Bay. I’ve been doing this since 2000, and before that I spent 18 years in financial services.
This blog is where I explain how things actually work: pricing, financing, insurance, taxes, land, and the problems that come up in Florida real estate. Straight answers, no hype.
