Trusted Partners · Trusted local pros
All Trusted PartnersThe inspectors, insurers, title team and trades we'd send our own family to.
- Keyrenter Property Management St. Pete
Leasing, rent collection and maintenance across Pinellas County; we don't manage property ourselves, so we send investors to the local team we trust with our clients' homes.
Talk with Keyrenter (opens in a new tab)CE at Sea · Founding Sponsor - Select Insurance Providers
Home, auto, flood and commercial insurance quotes; in Florida, insurance can make or break a deal, so we work with an independent St. Pete agency that can shop more than one carrier.
- Alexandra Ashey · Blue Brick Title and Escrow
Title and escrow for your closing; we choose Blue Brick because their closing cost calculator shows your numbers early, before there are surprises.
Estimate closing costs (opens in a new tab)CE at Sea · Founding Sponsor - Jennifer L. Codding, Esq. · Codding Law
Real estate law for Florida and New Hampshire transactions; Jen is the attorney we turn to ourselves when a deal needs careful legal eyes.
- Quigley Inspection Services
Full home, 4-point and wind mitigation inspections by a certified inspector; we choose Quigley because they schedule around your inspection period, so deadlines are never at risk.

Repairs before a sale, punch lists after inspection and upkeep after closing; it is our own concierge, so the work is coordinated by people who know your transaction.
- Vickie Jones · The Ledgerist LLC
Bookkeeping, financial reporting and small-business setup; we choose The Ledgerist because they understand the self-employed books of agents and investors.
