When you are buying or selling a home in Tampa Bay, the brokerage your agent works with matters. RE/MAX is one of the most recognized real estate brands in the world, with a network of agents, technology, and marketing infrastructure that gives clients a real advantage. Barrett Henry brings that brand’s resources to every transaction, combined with deep local expertise across six Tampa Bay counties.
This page explains why choosing a RE/MAX agent in Tampa Bay is a strong decision, what RE/MAX Collective offers as a regional brokerage, and what it means to work directly with Barrett Henry as your Broker Associate.
Why Choose a RE/MAX Agent in Tampa Bay
RE/MAX was founded on a simple premise: productive, experienced agents supported by a strong brand and infrastructure produce better results for clients. That premise has held up over decades and across markets worldwide. In Tampa Bay, where the real estate market spans six counties and ranges from waterfront luxury to affordable inland communities, having a RE/MAX agent means having access to a network that matches the scope of the market.
RE/MAX agents consistently rank at the top of industry production metrics. The brand attracts experienced professionals, not newcomers learning the business on their clients’ transactions. When you work with a RE/MAX agent in Tampa Bay, you are working with someone operating within a system built for performance and accountability.
For buyers, a RE/MAX agent brings MLS access, marketing tools, and a referral network that extends nationally and internationally. For sellers, the RE/MAX brand provides visibility and credibility that independent agents and smaller brokerages cannot match. And for people relocating to Tampa Bay from other states, RE/MAX’s nationwide network makes the handoff between markets seamless.
Barrett Henry: RE/MAX Collective Broker Associate
Barrett Henry is a Broker Associate at RE/MAX Collective, which is a distinction worth understanding. A Broker Associate holds a Florida broker license, which requires additional education, experience, and examination beyond the standard sales associate license. The broker license represents a higher level of professional qualification. Barrett chose to hold that credential while operating as a practicing agent, rather than managing a brokerage office. The result is direct access to senior-level expertise in every client interaction.
In practice, this matters because:
- A Broker Associate has deeper knowledge of Florida real estate law, contract interpretation, and transaction management than a standard licensee.
- The additional education and experience requirements mean Barrett has handled a broader range of transaction types and scenarios.
- Clients working with a Broker Associate have a direct line to someone with the highest level of residential real estate licensure in Florida, not a junior agent or team support person.
- Accountability is higher. Broker Associates are held to a more rigorous professional standard by the Florida Real Estate Commission.
Barrett serves buyers and sellers across all of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Manatee, and Citrus counties. Learn more at the about Barrett page.

The RE/MAX Advantage for Buyers
Buying a home in Tampa Bay with Barrett Henry at RE/MAX Collective gives you several structural advantages that independent agents or smaller brokerages cannot provide.
Global Network and Referral System
RE/MAX operates one of the largest real estate referral networks in the world. For buyers moving to Tampa Bay from another city or state, the RE/MAX network allows for a warm handoff from your origin market to Barrett here. You arrive with an agent who is already briefed on your situation and ready to serve you from day one. This is particularly valuable for buyers relocating for work, military service, or retirement. Learn more at the moving to Tampa Bay guide.
MLS Access and Search Tools
RE/MAX agents have full, direct MLS access, which means Barrett searches the same database that every other licensed agent uses, with no filtering or delay. Consumer portals like Zillow pull from the MLS but often with a lag, inaccuracies, or omissions. Working directly with Barrett gives buyers real-time access to accurate inventory data, including properties before they hit the consumer portals. Visit the buyers page for an overview of the buying process.
Brand Recognition with Sellers
In some situations, the brand behind a buyer’s agent matters. Sellers and listing agents who recognize the RE/MAX standard know they are dealing with an experienced professional when Barrett brings an offer. That credibility can make a difference in competitive offer situations where the listing agent is advising their seller on which buyer to select.
First-Time Buyer Support
RE/MAX resources and Barrett’s direct guidance combine to give first-time buyers a comprehensive support system. From understanding financing options to navigating the offer-to-closing process, first-time buyers get clear, structured guidance at every step. Barrett explains every document, every fee, and every decision point so buyers understand exactly what they are signing and why.
Investment Buyer Resources
RE/MAX agents work with investors nationwide, and Barrett applies that investment-focused discipline to Tampa Bay transactions. Whether you are purchasing a single rental property or building a portfolio, Barrett evaluates properties from an investment perspective: cap rates, cash flow potential, neighborhood appreciation trends, and tenant market dynamics. See the investment real estate page for more.
The RE/MAX Advantage for Sellers
Listing your Tampa Bay home with Barrett Henry at RE/MAX Collective means your property is backed by one of the most recognized real estate brands in the world, combined with local expertise that consumer portals and national franchises cannot replicate.
International Brand and Marketing Reach
RE/MAX.com is among the most visited real estate websites globally. When Barrett lists your property on the MLS, it syndicates to RE/MAX.com and its international network of affiliated sites. For Tampa Bay properties, this matters because a meaningful share of buyers are relocating from other states or countries. The RE/MAX brand creates visibility in those buyer populations that independent agents cannot access. Visit the sell your home page for more on the listing process.
Marketing Tools and Listing Presentation
RE/MAX Collective provides Barrett with professional listing marketing tools: templates, digital advertising systems, and brand-consistent materials that present your home at the highest standard. Every listing Barrett takes receives professional photography, compelling listing copy, and a marketing plan calibrated to the target buyer for that property and price range.
Pricing Strategy Backed by Real Data
RE/MAX agents are trained in Comparative Market Analysis methodology, and Barrett brings neighborhood-level data to every pricing discussion. The goal is not the highest list price. It is the list price most likely to result in a strong sale, minimum days on market, and a clean transaction through closing. Overpriced listings in Tampa Bay are not unusual, and they cost sellers time, carrying costs, and ultimately negotiating position. Barrett tells sellers what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Start with a home valuation.
Luxury Listings
RE/MAX has a dedicated luxury brand presence, and Barrett works with high-value properties across the Tampa Bay region: South Tampa waterfront, Pinellas coastal estates, and premium communities throughout the metro. Luxury listings require a different approach to marketing, pricing, and buyer qualification. Barrett handles these transactions with the discretion and strategic discipline they require. Visit the luxury homes page for more.
RE/MAX Network and Relocation Services
Tampa Bay consistently ranks among the top relocation destinations in the country. People move here from the Northeast, Midwest, West Coast, and from international markets, particularly Latin America and Canada. RE/MAX’s global network is uniquely positioned to serve this relocation demand.
Military Relocation
Tampa Bay is home to MacDill Air Force Base, one of the most significant military installations in the country. SOCOM, CENTCOM, and numerous other commands call MacDill home, which means a large and consistent population of military members and families moving in and out of the Tampa Bay area on permanent change of station orders.
Barrett holds the MRP (Military Relocation Professional) designation, which reflects specialized training in serving active duty military, veterans, and their families. This includes VA loan expertise, understanding of BAH rates and their relationship to local housing costs, and the flexibility to work within military timelines that are often shorter and less predictable than civilian relocation schedules.
RE/MAX’s national network means that when a service member is transferring from another installation, their current RE/MAX agent can provide a direct referral to Barrett for their Tampa Bay search. That warm handoff eliminates the uncertainty of finding a new agent from scratch in an unfamiliar market.
Nationwide Referral Network
Whether you are moving from Chicago, Denver, New York, or Los Angeles, there is likely a RE/MAX agent in your current market who can connect you directly to Barrett before you land in Tampa Bay. This referral system means Barrett receives clients who are already vetted, motivated, and aligned on what they are looking for. It eliminates the cold-start problem that buyers often face when relocating to an unfamiliar market. If you are currently working with a RE/MAX agent in another city and planning a move to Tampa Bay, ask them to refer you directly to Barrett Henry at RE/MAX Collective.
International Buyer Services
Tampa Bay attracts significant international buyer interest, particularly from Canada and Latin American markets. RE/MAX’s international presence and Barrett’s experience with out-of-country buyers creates a practical pathway for international clients who want to purchase in the region. Barrett can coordinate remote purchasing processes, virtual tours, and transaction management for buyers who cannot be physically present throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RE/MAX Collective and other RE/MAX offices?
RE/MAX operates as a franchise, meaning individual offices are independently owned and operated under the RE/MAX brand. RE/MAX Collective is the specific Tampa Bay franchise that Barrett Henry operates within. The brokerage’s three-office structure gives it broad geographic coverage across the region while maintaining the accountability and culture that defines the RE/MAX brand.
Does working with a RE/MAX agent cost more than working with an independent agent?
No. Real estate commission structures are negotiable and are not determined by brokerage affiliation. Working with Barrett at RE/MAX Collective does not cost more than working with an independent agent. What you get in return for the same commission structure is access to a global brand, professional marketing tools, and an experienced Broker Associate who has been consistently active in the Tampa Bay market.
Can Barrett help me if I am moving to Tampa Bay from another state?
Yes. Relocation buyers are a significant part of Barrett’s business. The RE/MAX referral network makes the transition from your current market to Tampa Bay straightforward if you are working with a RE/MAX agent in your current city. For buyers not currently working with a RE/MAX agent, Barrett works with out-of-state buyers directly, using virtual tools and coordinated visits to make the search and purchase process workable regardless of distance. Start with the moving to Tampa Bay guide.
Does Barrett work with VA loans and military buyers?
Yes. Barrett holds the MRP (Military Relocation Professional) designation and is experienced with VA purchase transactions. He understands VA loan requirements, the appraisal process for VA loans, and the timeline and flexibility considerations that come with military relocation. MacDill Air Force Base is a significant driver of buyer activity in the Tampa Bay market, and Barrett has worked with many service members and veterans through that market.
