BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES FLORIDA NETWORK REALTY WELCOMES TRACY HODGES

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is pleased to welcome Tracy Hodges to the Metropolitan office with locations in Avondale and San Marco.

Ms. Hodges has been a successful local business owner for over twenty years and has now set her sights on a second career as a Realtor in Northeast Florida. Tracy was fortunate to discover her passion for cosmetology over thirty years ago. As the owner of two thriving salons, she realized that her passion ran deeper than just cutting, coloring, and styling hair. Tracy’s ability to serve her customer and her desire to serve them at a high level is what fuels her passion and has made her successful.

Tracy believes that “taking it personal” is a lost art, and is most often looked down upon, but that it’s her true key to success. Tracy stated, “I believe that ‘taking it personal’ is what it takes to bring my clients from contract to close. I understand that no individual, couple or family share exactly the same real estate needs. My goal is to understand the uniqueness of each customer’s needs. ‘I take it personally.’”

Tracy also believes it is her personal responsibility to assist buyers with the necessary tools to make the best investment to meet their individual needs and to honor the sellers’ investment by learning what is important to them in the sale other than the highest return possible. The day Tracy made peace with her limitations, imperfections, and mistakes was the day she realized that only what she believed about herself determined how successful she could become.

Tracy is the mother to two amazing sons, 19 and 22. Having them and knowing that they are proud to call her mom has been the most rewarding thing in her life; teaching them personal responsibility and accountability has made her realize she can do anything. When not working, Tracy loves traveling, exploring the world, running, and playing tennis. Last year she visited Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Cuba, Aruba, St. Martin, and plans to visit Egypt this year. Traveling has taught her an appreciation for people, and how to see value in everyone. Tracy has also run nine full marathons and enjoys playing tennis several times a week.

“Tracy’s passion for helping others is evident from the first time you meet her. With all of her past success in business, I am confident that she will knock it out of the park as a Realtor. I am excited to welcome her to the San Marco office,” shares Josh Cohen, Broker/Manager of the Metropolitan office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty with locations in Avondale and San Marco.

For more information, Tracy can be reached by phone at 904.568.5595 or at Tracy.Hodges@FloridaNetworkRealty.com and website: THodges.FloridaNetworkRealty.com. The Metropolitan offices in Avondale and San Marco are located at 3627 St. Johns Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32205 and 1983 San Marco Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32207.

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES FLORIDA NETWORK REALTY WELCOMES MIKE ROLEWICZ

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is pleased to welcome Mike Rolewicz to the Ponte Vedra/Nocatee office.

Mike joins Florida Network Realty as an experienced Realtor, and with twenty plus years of experience starting and running a highly successful staffing firm. In 1995 Mike moved to Jacksonville and started On Call Staffing (later renamed Agility Staffing) along with Greg Huntington – one of the original 10 Jacksonville Jaguars signed in late 1994.

Over the twenty-three years of owning Agility Staffing, Mike grew the company to three locations and 1,000s of placed employees – in addition to this, Mike’s company was a three-time Jacksonville Business Journal Fast 50 award winner. Selling the company in February to a Tampa based firm looking to grow their footprint, Mike is eager to translate his skills and expertise as a business owner to a career in real estate.

When asked why he joined the Ponte Vedra office, Mike states, “When looking for a brokerage, I felt that Florida Network Realty was the only company that would give me the opportunity to provide clients the level of service and care that my team and I provided to our staffing clients over the years. I was a ‘professional matchmaker’ at my staffing firm, and helped clients grow by listening to their unique needs and finding them top talent in the market, and helped candidates find their dream career. As a Realtor, my job is to help my clients in much the same way – to find them their dream home so that they can grow and thrive in their community.”

When not working or spending time with his family, you can find Mike on the “Temporary Sanity,” his flats boat, fishing the Intracoastal Waterway for redfish and trout.

“Please join me in welcoming Mike to the Ponte Vedra Office! Mike’s potential as a Realtor is off the charts – from the moment you meet him, his drive to excel is evident. With his past success as a business owner, I know he will thrive, and succeed, in his career as a Realtor,” shares Kevin Waugaman, Broker/Manager of the Ponte Vedra/Nocatee office.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is pleased to welcome Megan Tiliakos to the Beaches/Intracoastal West and Southside office.

Megan joins Florida Network Realty with a background in real estate from working at her husband’s local appraisal firm.

They enjoy participating in the numerous community events that Jacksonville has to offer, such as the parades, walks, and festivals all across Northeast Florida.

“Please join me in welcoming Megan to the Beaches office!
