Barrett Henry operates out of the RE/MAX Collective Tampa office at 14310 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Ste 100, Tampa, FL 33618, serving Hillsborough County and the broader Tampa Bay metro. With 23+ years of experience and designations including e-PRO, MRP, and SRS, Barrett provides full-service real estate — buying, selling, investing, property management, and military relocation — from this north Tampa location.
About This Office
The RE/MAX Collective Tampa office is located at 14310 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Ste 100, Tampa, FL 33618, positioned in the heart of north Tampa at one of the corridor’s most accessible intersections. Dale Mabry Highway is one of the primary north-south arteries in the greater Tampa metro, and this location places Barrett Henry within easy reach of clients across Hillsborough County, whether they are in the Carrollwood neighborhood just minutes away, coming down from Lutz, heading in from Brandon, or driving north from South Tampa. The office sits in a professional suite complex that is easy to find, easy to park, and designed for working consultations rather than rushed drive-by appointments.
From a geographic standpoint, the office’s position on North Dale Mabry gives clients direct access to I-275, which connects north Tampa to downtown Tampa and St. Petersburg in roughly 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions. The Veterans Expressway (SR-589) is also just minutes away, providing a fast toll route to Tampa International Airport and the Westshore business district. For clients relocating from out of state who are flying in to tour properties, the proximity to the airport is a genuine convenience that other Tampa-area offices cannot always match. Buyers flying in from the Northeast or Midwest for a weekend of home tours can land at Tampa International, be at the office within 15 minutes, and begin looking at properties the same afternoon.
Barrett Henry operates as a Broker Associate with RE/MAX Collective, which means that in addition to holding a full broker’s license, Barrett also maintains all of the responsibilities and client-service commitments of a working REALTOR. This is a meaningful distinction: a Broker Associate has demonstrated a higher level of professional knowledge than a standard salesperson license requires, having passed the Florida broker’s examination, satisfied additional continuing education requirements, and maintained the experience hours the state mandates. For clients, this means that Barrett is not just an agent coordinating between parties — Barrett has the depth of licensure to understand complex transactions, manage risk points in contracts, and advise on issues that might otherwise require escalating to a broker who is not directly involved in the deal.
In-person consultations at the Tampa office are available by appointment. Whether you are a first-time buyer trying to understand how the purchase process works in Florida, a homeowner preparing to list and wanting a realistic pre-market strategy session, an investor evaluating a rental property acquisition, or a military family arriving on PCS orders and working against a tight timeline, the Tampa office is the right starting point. Barrett’s approach is direct and substantive: you will leave any consultation with a clear picture of the market, a realistic sense of what your buying power or property value looks like, and a defined set of next steps. No vague promises, no pressure tactics.
The office serves the full geographic spread of Hillsborough County, which at roughly 1,266 square miles is one of the larger counties in Florida and encompasses a remarkable diversity of communities — from the urban density of downtown Tampa and the historic neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Seminole Heights, to the master-planned suburbs of FishHawk Ranch and Riverview, to the agricultural and semi-rural character of Plant City and Wimauma. Barrett has worked across all of these sub-markets and understands that a buyer looking in South Tampa is making a completely different decision than a buyer looking in Brandon — different price ranges, different property types, different competition dynamics, and different long-term investment trajectories.
To reach the Tampa office directly, call or text 813-733-7907 or send an email to [email protected]. Barrett personally responds to all inquiries — there is no call center, no assistant filtering your messages, and no automated follow-up sequence standing between you and a real conversation.

Real Estate Services from the Tampa Office
Buying a Home in Tampa
Purchasing a home in Hillsborough County requires a clear-eyed understanding of the local market, not a generic buyer’s checklist printed from a national real estate website. The Tampa metro has its own quirks — flood zone considerations that dramatically affect insurance costs, HOA communities with rules that vary widely from one subdivision to the next, a new construction market that operates on builder-controlled timelines, and a resale market where well-priced homes in desirable schools zones still attract multiple offers. Barrett’s buyer representation starts with a thorough needs assessment: What is your budget, and what does that budget actually buy in the neighborhoods you are targeting? What are your must-haves versus your nice-to-haves, and are those two lists realistic given current inventory? What is your timeline, and does that timeline create any strategic constraints we need to plan around?
From there, the process moves into active search, property tours, offer strategy, contract negotiation, inspection management, and a coordinated path to closing. Barrett works with buyers at all price points and in all stages of readiness, from those who are 12 months out and still building their financial picture, to those who have already been pre-approved and are ready to make offers immediately. For buyers exploring Tampa neighborhoods for the first time, the buyers page is a good starting point, and the Tampa community page provides neighborhood-level context that helps narrow down the search before the first showing.
Selling Your Home in Tampa
Selling a home in the current Hillsborough County market requires more strategic preparation than it did during the peak seller’s market of 2021 and 2022. Inventory has recovered from historic lows, buyers have more choices, and homes that are overpriced or under-prepared tend to sit. Barrett’s listing approach begins with a comprehensive comparative market analysis that looks not just at recent sold prices but at the current competition — what is active on the market right now, how long has it been there, and what price adjustments have already been made? That analysis informs both the pricing conversation and the preparation recommendations.
One of the tangible advantages Barrett brings to the pre-listing process is the relationship with Best Bay Services, a full-service home maintenance and repair company that handles the kinds of pre-listing fixes that make properties show better and appraise more cleanly. Leaky faucets, dated light fixtures, scuffed paint, broken screens, soft flooring — these are the details that buyers notice and that home inspectors document. Addressing them before going to market reduces the likelihood of post-inspection renegotiations and positions the home more competitively. Sellers can learn more about the selling process or start with a free home valuation to get a baseline on where their property stands in today’s market.
Investing in Real Estate
Hillsborough County has long been one of Florida’s stronger markets for real estate investment, driven by consistent population growth, a diversified employment base, and a rental demand that has remained elevated even as interest rates rose through 2022 and 2023. Barrett works with investors at all levels, from first-time buyers picking up their initial rental property to experienced portfolio holders evaluating multifamily acquisitions. The analytical work starts with a rental income analysis: what can the property realistically rent for in its current condition, what would the pro forma look like after any needed improvements, and what does the cash-on-cash return look like at different leverage levels?
For investors working with appreciated equity, Barrett has experience guiding clients through 1031 exchange transactions, which allow the deferral of capital gains taxes when proceeds from a sold investment property are reinvested into a like-kind replacement property within IRS timelines. Tampa’s market offers viable 1031 replacement options across residential rentals, small multifamily, and commercial property types. Return on investment modeling, neighborhood rental trend analysis, and honest counsel on the difference between a good deal and a marginal one are all part of what Barrett brings to the investor client relationship.
Property Management in Tampa
Owning a rental property in Tampa is one thing. Managing one is another. Barrett offers property management services for residential investment properties throughout Hillsborough County, handling the operational demands that wear down landlords who try to self-manage — tenant screening and placement, lease execution, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and the periodic headaches that come with owning occupied real estate. Tenant screening is thorough: credit checks, background verification, rental history review, and income verification are standard parts of the process, with the goal of placing qualified tenants who pay on time and take care of the property.
For maintenance and repair work, Barrett’s property management clients have access to Best Bay Services, which provides responsive, competitively priced repairs across a full range of residential trades. This is a meaningful operational advantage — coordinating repairs through a known, reliable vendor reduces the delays and cost overruns that come from sourcing individual contractors for every issue. Barrett’s property management services also include coordination with Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) tenants, for landlords who choose to participate in that program. Section 8 properties in Hillsborough County can offer stable, government-backed rental income and lower vacancy risk, and Barrett can walk property owners through the inspection requirements and administrative process involved.
Military Relocation (MRP) — MacDill AFB and Tampa Bay
Barrett holds the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation, a certification specifically designed for REALTORS who serve active duty service members, veterans, and their families navigating PCS moves and VA-financed transactions. For military clients, real estate transactions carry a unique set of demands: tight reporting timelines, BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) calculations that directly affect affordability, VA loan eligibility and entitlement considerations, and the practical challenge of buying or selling a home while potentially stationed elsewhere in the country or overseas.
MacDill Air Force Base is located approximately 12 miles south of the Dale Mabry office, a commute that puts the office squarely within the practical geographic range of service members and their families looking for housing in the north Tampa, Carrollwood, Town n Country, and Westchase corridors. Those areas are popular with MacDill personnel specifically because the Veterans Expressway and the Gandy/Crosstown corridor provide relatively direct routes to base without the congestion of some alternative commute paths. Barrett understands the VA loan process, has working relationships with lenders who specialize in VA financing, and can guide military buyers through the nuances of VA appraisals, funding fees, and the specific contract language that protects VA borrowers. For incoming PCS families, Barrett also provides relocation orientation — an honest overview of different Tampa Bay neighborhoods, schools, commute realities, and property types — so that families can make an informed decision even when the primary service member cannot be physically present for home tours. Contact Barrett to discuss your PCS move timeline and get started.
Areas Served from the Tampa Office
The Dale Mabry office in north Tampa is geographically positioned to serve the full breadth of Hillsborough County efficiently. Hillsborough County stretches from the urban core of downtown Tampa in the west to the agricultural flatlands of Plant City in the east, and from the Pasco County line in the north to the tidal communities of Ruskin and Apollo Beach in the south. That geographic diversity means that a client base drawn from this single office can include urban condo buyers in the Channel District, suburban families in the FishHawk Ranch master-planned community, retirees in Sun City Center’s age-restricted neighborhoods, and first-generation homebuyers in Brandon and Valrico. Barrett is equally at home advising in all of these contexts.
In addition to Hillsborough County, Barrett serves clients throughout the broader Tampa Bay metro, including Pinellas County (St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin) and Pasco County (Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey, Zephyrhills). RE/MAX Collective maintains multiple office locations across the region, giving Barrett the infrastructure to serve clients across county lines without the gaps in market knowledge that come from operating outside a familiar territory. The communities listed below each link to dedicated neighborhood pages where you can explore active listings, recent sales, school information, and neighborhood character in greater depth.
Hillsborough County Real Estate Market
Hillsborough County entered 2026 in a market that is more balanced than the frenzied seller’s market of 2021 and 2022, but that still rewards well-priced, well-presented properties with solid buyer activity. The median sale price across the county sits at approximately $385,000, representing a year-over-year gain of roughly 3.1% — a more measured pace of appreciation than the double-digit annual gains that characterized the pandemic-era run-up, but appreciation nonetheless in a market where national headlines sometimes suggest prices have stalled. The reality on the ground in Hillsborough is more nuanced: properties in high-demand school zones and established neighborhoods continue to appreciate, while some of the more speculative new construction communities on the county’s fringes have seen price softening as builders worked through elevated inventory.
Average days on market across the county has stabilized at approximately 45 days — a figure that reflects neither the lightning-fast absorption rates of 2021 nor the prolonged listings that would signal a buyer’s market with pricing leverage. That 45-day average conceals wide variation by sub-market. A well-priced single-family home in the Carrollwood or Northdale area, or in a sought-after zip code near the University of South Florida, can still sell within two weeks. A home in a newer development farther from major employment corridors, or a property with deferred maintenance or an outdated kitchen, may take considerably longer and require price adjustments to find a buyer.
Active listing inventory across Hillsborough County is running at approximately 8,500 homes, which represents a meaningful increase of about 12% compared to the same period in 2026. Higher inventory is generally favorable for buyers, giving them more options and slightly more negotiating leverage than they had at the peak of the market. The list-to-sale ratio — the percentage of the list price that homes ultimately sell for — sits at approximately 97.2%, which means that buyers are not getting dramatic discounts but can reasonably expect modest negotiation room on most transactions, particularly for properties that have been on the market longer than the average or that require meaningful repairs. Median price per square foot across the county is approximately $198, up about 1.8% year over year, though this figure varies considerably by location and property type.
New construction accounts for roughly 28% of sales activity in Hillsborough County, a proportion that reflects the significant pipeline of master-planned communities that have been developed across the county’s eastern and southern growth corridors over the past decade. Builders like D.R. Horton, Lennar, Pulte, and David Weekley have all maintained active developments in the county, and while some have adjusted pricing and offered buyer incentives in response to higher interest rates, demand for new construction has remained consistent driven by buyers who want warranty coverage, modern floor plans, energy efficiency, and the predictability of a new home over the uncertainty of a resale inspection.
The neighborhood-level price variation within Hillsborough County is dramatic. South Tampa — encompassing neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Davis Islands, Bayshore Beautiful, and Harbour Island — represents the county’s most expensive residential market, with typical sale prices ranging from $500,000 to over $3 million for single-family homes, and luxury waterfront estates pushing well above that ceiling. FishHawk Ranch in the Lithia area, a master-planned community with A-rated schools and resort-style amenities, typically trades in the $450,000 to $900,000 range. Brandon, the county’s largest suburban community east of Tampa, spans a wide range from starter homes in the $290,000 range to executive homes pushing $550,000 or more in established subdivisions. Plant City, which maintains more of a small-town character and a lower cost base, typically sees homes selling in the $220,000 to $400,000 range, with land and agricultural parcels providing a separate market entirely.
The fundamental drivers of Hillsborough County’s continued demand are well established. The Tampa Bay metro is one of the most consistent net in-migration destinations in the United States, drawing residents from high-cost northeastern and midwestern markets who find that their dollars stretch significantly farther in Tampa than in New York, Chicago, Boston, or New Jersey. Florida’s absence of a state income tax is a material financial consideration for high earners, and Tampa specifically offers a combination of urban amenities, waterfront access, sports teams (Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Buccaneers), and a healthcare and technology employment sector that many smaller Florida markets cannot match. Major employers including Tampa General Hospital, BayCare, AdventHealth, Raymond James Financial, USAA, WellCare, Citi, Amazon, and MacDill Air Force Base collectively anchor an employment base that has proven more recession-resistant than many comparable metros.

Why RE/MAX
RE/MAX was founded in 1973 in Denver, Colorado, by Dave and Gail Liniger with a concept that was genuinely radical in the residential real estate industry at the time: let productive agents keep a larger share of their commissions, attract the best performers in each market, and allow the resulting quality differential to drive brand growth. That founding philosophy — agent-first, performance-driven, built on the premise that the best agents produce the best results for clients — has guided the company’s expansion for more than five decades and built one of the most recognized real estate brands on the planet.
Today, RE/MAX operates with more than 147,000 agents worldwide, reaching an all-time record in 2026. The network spans more than 9,000 offices in over 140 countries. RE/MAX is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RMAX, which brings a level of financial transparency and corporate accountability that privately held brokerages cannot match. For clients, the scale of the RE/MAX network is not just a marketing talking point — it translates into meaningful practical advantages, particularly when a seller’s property needs to be marketed to buyers who may be relocating from other states or countries, or when a buyer needs a referral network to ensure they are connecting with a market expert in the specific area they are targeting.
The productivity data behind RE/MAX’s claim that nobody in the world sells more real estate is not marketing language — it is grounded in independent research. According to the T3 Sixty Real Estate Almanac, RE/MAX agents averaged 11.7 transaction sides per agent in 2024, which is more than double the nearest competitor at 6.2 sides. Transaction sides measure actual production: every completed buying representation and every completed listing that closes represents a side. An agent who closes 12 sides in a year has completed 12 full transaction cycles, each involving contract negotiation, inspection management, financing coordination, and successful navigation to the closing table. Double the average sides means RE/MAX agents are, as a group, twice as active and twice as experienced on a per-agent basis as agents at competing brokerages. For a client selecting an agent, that productivity gap matters.
Brand recognition studies consistently confirm RE/MAX’s market position. The brand holds #1 unaided brand awareness in real estate according to MMR Strategy Group, meaning that when consumers are asked to name a real estate brand without any prompting, RE/MAX is the most commonly cited answer. This is the result of decades of consistent branding — the distinctive red, white, and blue balloon has become one of the most recognizable brand symbols in any service industry. More meaningfully, RE/MAX has earned the designation of #1 Most Trusted Real Estate Agents in the United States according to the BrandSpark American Trusted Brands survey, with that ranking confirmed for 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Trust is the foundational currency of real estate transactions, which involve the largest financial decisions most people will make in their lifetimes. Clients selecting a RE/MAX agent are not just choosing a recognizable logo — they are selecting a brand that has earned consumer trust repeatedly and independently.
The financial trajectory for agents who commit to the RE/MAX model is also notable. RE/MAX data indicates that agents earn approximately 38% more in commissions after year three with the company compared to agents at other major brokerages, and approximately 64% more after year five. These figures reflect both the productivity training and tools RE/MAX provides and the self-selecting nature of the agent population — agents who are serious about their business and committed to professional growth tend to stay, while those who entered real estate as a part-time endeavor tend to exit. The result is a network weighted toward full-time professionals who treat their clients’ transactions with the seriousness they deserve.
On the technology side, RE/MAX has invested heavily in tools that support agent effectiveness and client service. The MAXTech platform, built on the BoldTrail CRM system, gives agents sophisticated contact management, lead tracking, and transaction coordination tools that were previously available only to large team operations. MAX/Marketing with AI allows agents to produce professional-grade listing marketing materials, social media content, and neighborhood reports quickly and consistently. MAXRefer is a global referral AI system that connects agents across the RE/MAX network when a client is relocating to another market, ensuring that the incoming agent in the destination city is matched to the client’s specific needs rather than randomly selected. MAXEngage supports ongoing client communication and relationship maintenance. Marketing as a Service (MaaS) gives individual agents access to enterprise-level marketing programs. And RE/MAX University provides continuous professional education, designation courses, and market training that keeps agents current as the industry evolves.
Beyond professional metrics, RE/MAX has a compelling community record. The brand has raised more than $190 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals over more than 30 years of partnership, making RE/MAX one of the largest private corporate supporters of pediatric healthcare in North America. Many RE/MAX offices, including RE/MAX Collective, participate in local CMN fundraising initiatives throughout the year.
Barrett chose RE/MAX Collective specifically because the brand’s combination of global reach, agent-first operating model, and technology infrastructure matched the kind of practice Barrett wanted to build: one that could serve residential buyers and sellers with the same depth of service as commercial and luxury clients, all operating under the same recognized brand. RE/MAX Collective maintains three office locations across the Tampa Bay area, providing coverage across seven counties and a local team infrastructure that supports collaborative problem-solving on complex transactions. The RE/MAX network’s global referral system also means that when clients are moving to Tampa from another state or country, Barrett can coordinate a seamless handoff from the outgoing agent in their current market — a practical benefit that independent brokerages and smaller regional firms cannot replicate.
Commercial Real Estate in Tampa, FL
Tampa is one of the most active commercial real estate markets in the southeastern United States, and the past decade has seen a wave of investment and development activity that has reshaped the city’s commercial landscape in ways that were not imaginable even 15 years ago. RE/MAX’s commercial division brings national brand infrastructure and, through its partnership with the CCIM Institute (Certified Commercial Investment Member), a network of commercially credentialed professionals to the table for clients pursuing office, retail, industrial, multifamily, land, and hospitality acquisitions or dispositions in the Tampa market. Barrett works with commercial clients across property types and can leverage the RE/MAX Commercial network for deals that require broader market exposure.
The Westshore Business District is Tampa’s dominant office market and one of the largest concentrated office districts in the southeastern United States. Located just west of downtown Tampa near the intersection of I-275 and the Crosstown Expressway, Westshore encompasses Class A office towers developed by institutional owners including Highwoods Properties and MetLife, as well as mid-rise suburban office campuses that serve a wide range of professional service tenants. Typical office lease rates in Westshore run from approximately $25 to $45 per square foot on a NNN (triple net) basis, depending on building quality, floor level, view, and tenant improvement allowances. The district has absorbed significant new office tenants in the financial services, technology, and healthcare administration sectors over the past several years, driven by the same migration patterns that are filling residential neighborhoods across the county.
The Channel District and Water Street Tampa development represent the most transformative commercial investment in Tampa’s urban core in a generation. Strategic Property Partners’ mixed-use Water Street Tampa project has brought new luxury residential towers, hotel properties, office space, and street-level retail to a formerly underutilized industrial area adjacent to Amalie Arena. The development has been a genuine catalyst for the broader downtown and Harbour Island real estate market, and commercial space within and adjacent to the Water Street footprint commands premium pricing that reflects both the physical quality of the product and the destination character of the district.
On the industrial side, Tampa’s position at the intersection of I-4 and I-75 — two of Florida’s most important freight corridors — makes East Tampa and the Gibsonton area particularly attractive for warehouse, distribution, and light manufacturing uses. Port Tampa Bay, the largest port in Florida by cargo tonnage, generates significant demand for industrial properties with port access or proximity to port logistics infrastructure. E-commerce fulfillment and last-mile distribution have driven strong absorption of industrial space throughout the metro, and vacancy in modern logistics facilities near the I-4/I-75 interchange has remained tight despite meaningful new construction completions.
The retail market in Tampa is concentrated along several key corridors that Barrett knows well from years of working in the area. The Kennedy Boulevard corridor, the Dale Mabry retail strip running north from Kennedy through Carrollwood and into Lutz, the Gandy Boulevard commercial zone, and the Henderson Boulevard area in South Tampa are all established retail destinations that continue to attract national and regional tenants. Neighborhood retail centers anchored by grocery or pharmacy tenants have performed well even as the broader retail sector has faced headwinds from e-commerce, and appropriately positioned strip centers in dense residential areas continue to be viable investment targets for buyers who understand the tenant mix and lease structure.
The multifamily market in urban Tampa has drawn significant institutional and private equity investment, with 50-plus unit apartment complexes trading at capitalization rates in the range of approximately 5.5% to 6.5% in the urban core, and somewhat higher in suburban locations with lower land costs. Ybor City’s entertainment and mixed-use district has seen a wave of residential and hospitality investment, including boutique hotel development that caters to the district’s growing appeal as a culinary and nightlife destination. Land and development sites along the US-301 corridor and within Westshore assemblage areas continue to attract developer interest as the county’s growth trajectory sustains demand for new product across all property types.

Luxury Real Estate in Tampa — The RE/MAX Collection
RE/MAX’s luxury marketing platform, The RE/MAX Collection, applies to properties that meet or exceed twice the average sold price in their respective zip codes. In zip code 33618, which covers the north Tampa area around the Dale Mabry office, the average sold price runs approximately $450,000, placing the RE/MAX Collection threshold at roughly $900,000. Across the broader Tampa metro, the luxury threshold varies by micro-market, but the general framework identifies properties that represent the upper tier of their local market and require a marketing approach commensurate with their price point and the profile of the buyers most likely to purchase them.
South Tampa is the unambiguous center of Tampa’s luxury residential market. The neighborhoods clustered around Bayshore Boulevard — Davis Islands, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Harbour Island, Bayshore Beautiful, and Sunset Park — collectively represent some of the most desirable residential real estate in the entire state of Florida. Single-family homes in these neighborhoods typically trade from $1 million to well over $5 million, with the upper end of the market occupied by waterfront estates on Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, and the interconnected canal systems of Beach Park and Culbreath Isles. These waterfront properties offer private docks, seawall-protected water frontage, and direct bay access — amenities that command significant premiums and that attract buyers with very specific expectations around lifestyle, finishes, and privacy.
The Sunset Park, Beach Park, and Culbreath Isles neighborhoods are particularly sought after for their combination of established residential character, mature tree canopy, and direct water access. Homes in these areas feature deep-water docks capable of accommodating larger vessels, and the canal network provides protected cruising access to Tampa Bay without the exposure of an open-water slip. Buyers in these neighborhoods tend to be downsizing from even larger waterfront estates elsewhere, relocating from markets like Miami Beach or Palm Beach, or representing the top tier of the regional executive market.
For buyers interested in new construction luxury, the Water Street Tampa condo towers and the new residential development in the Hyde Park Village area represent the most contemporary options available in the urban core. These properties offer urban-luxury finishes, hotel-caliber building amenities, and a walkable urban lifestyle that appeals to buyers who want proximity to Tampa’s dining, arts, and waterfront scenes. The Carrollwood and Northdale areas, while not South Tampa, offer their own luxury segment: gated golf course communities where homes in the $600,000 to $1.2 million range offer owners suite configurations, generous lot sizes, and resort-style community amenities without the congestion and premium pricing of South Tampa.
Through The RE/MAX Collection platform, Barrett markets luxury properties to a global audience via theremaxcollection.com, a dedicated luxury property search portal. The Collection also includes magazine distribution to approximately 25,000 luxury homeowners, and listing syndication to premium publications including DuPont Registry, Unique Homes, and the Wall Street Journal. RE/MAX Collection is also a recognized partner with the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation program, aligning the brand with the industry’s established luxury practitioner credential. For sellers of high-value Tampa properties, the combination of local market expertise and RE/MAX Collection’s global distribution infrastructure is a differentiated offering compared to what locally focused boutique firms can provide. To discuss a luxury property in Tampa, visit the luxury real estate page or contact Barrett to arrange a confidential consultation.

Relocation to Tampa
Tampa consistently ranks among the top relocation destinations in the United States, and for good reason. The combination of year-round sunshine, no Florida state income tax, a cost of living that runs approximately 12% below the national average, and a growing, diversified economy makes Tampa an unusually attractive destination for households that have the flexibility to choose where they live and work. Remote work normalization accelerated migration to Tampa beginning in 2020, and while that initial wave has matured, the underlying fundamentals that drive Tampa’s population growth have not changed. People continue to arrive from the Northeast and Midwest in large numbers, trading high housing costs, high tax burdens, and difficult winters for a quality of life that Florida offers year-round.
The major employers anchoring Tampa’s economy span healthcare, financial services, defense, technology, and logistics. Tampa General Hospital, one of the premier academic medical centers in the Southeast, is a major employer and an anchor of the downtown Tampa economy. BayCare Health System and AdventHealth together employ tens of thousands of healthcare workers across the region. On the financial side, Raymond James Financial is headquartered in the Tampa Bay area and is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the country. USAA has a major regional office presence in the Tampa market. WellCare Health Plans, Citi, and Amazon‘s growing logistics and fulfillment infrastructure in the county all contribute to an employment base that has shown consistent resilience. And MacDill Air Force Base, with approximately 50,000 military personnel, civilians, and contractors operating across the installation, is one of the most economically significant single employers in the entire state of Florida.
For families with children, Hillsborough County Public Schools serves the entire county with a mix of traditional neighborhood schools, magnet programs, and charter options that give families meaningful school choice within the public system. Several high-performing schools in the FishHawk, Lithia, and Carrollwood areas consistently rank among the top-performing schools in the state, making those neighborhoods particularly attractive for families for whom school quality is a primary driver of neighborhood selection.
From the Dale Mabry office, the commute to downtown Tampa via I-275 runs approximately 20 minutes under normal conditions, and the Veterans Expressway (SR-589) provides direct access to Tampa International Airport in about 15 minutes. Relocating clients who arrive by air can be met at the airport or can easily make their way to the office for an initial consultation before beginning property tours. For incoming military families, Barrett’s MRP designation means the process of understanding BAH rates, VA loan eligibility, PCS timeline management, and Florida-specific homestead considerations is handled with the specialized knowledge the situation requires, rather than treated as an afterthought.
One frequently overlooked financial benefit of purchasing a primary residence in Florida is the Florida Homestead Exemption. Florida law provides for a reduction of up to $50,000 on the assessed value of a primary residence for property tax purposes, with the first $25,000 applying to all property taxes and the second $25,000 applying to non-school taxes. The Save Our Homes provision also caps annual increases in assessed value for homesteaded properties at 3% or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower — a provision that provides significant protection against property tax increases in appreciating markets. For relocating buyers purchasing their first Florida primary residence, understanding and filing for homestead exemption promptly is a meaningful financial step that Barrett includes in post-closing guidance.

Visit the commercial real estate page or contact Barrett to discuss your commercial real estate goals.
How do I schedule a consultation at the Tampa office?
Scheduling a consultation is straightforward. You can call or text Barrett directly at 813-733-7907, send an email to [email protected], or use the contact form on this site. In-person consultations at the Dale Mabry office are available by appointment, and phone or video consultations can be arranged for clients who are not yet in the Tampa area. There is no charge for an initial consultation. Barrett will come to the meeting prepared with market data relevant to your specific situation, whether you are buying, selling, investing, or looking to understand what your current property is worth in the current market.
Does Barrett work with first-time homebuyers in Tampa?
Absolutely. First-time buyers represent an important part of Barrett’s practice, and the Tampa market offers real opportunities for first-time buyers who approach the process with clear financial preparation and realistic expectations about what their budget buys in different neighborhoods. Barrett walks first-time buyers through every stage of the process: pre-approval guidance, defining a realistic search strategy, understanding what to look for (and look out for) during showings, making a competitive offer in a market that still has active buyer competition in desirable price ranges, managing the inspection and financing contingency periods, and preparing for closing. The buyers page is a good starting point for first-time buyers who want to understand the process before the first conversation.
What makes RE/MAX agents different from agents at other brokerages?
The most meaningful difference is productivity. According to the T3 Sixty Real Estate Almanac, RE/MAX agents averaged 11.7 transaction sides per agent in 2024 — more than double the nearest competitor’s 6.2 sides. More transaction experience means more situations encountered, more contracts negotiated, more inspection issues resolved, and more financing complications navigated to a successful close. RE/MAX also leads in unaided brand awareness and has earned the designation of Most Trusted Real Estate Agents in the United States in multiple consecutive years of independent brand surveys. For clients, selecting a RE/MAX agent means selecting from a pool of full-time professionals who have consistently outperformed the industry average, backed by a globally recognized brand with real technology infrastructure and a genuine track record of consumer trust.
Can Barrett help with luxury homes in Tampa?
Yes. Barrett markets luxury residential properties through The RE/MAX Collection, RE/MAX’s dedicated luxury platform. The RE/MAX Collection provides distribution through theremaxcollection.com, print circulation to approximately 25,000 luxury homeowners, and syndication to premium publications including DuPont Registry, Unique Homes, and the Wall Street Journal. For sellers, this means your property is marketed to the specific audience most likely to be searching for a Tampa luxury home, not simply to the general public. For buyers, Barrett has direct experience with the South Tampa luxury market, Carrollwood gated communities, and the new luxury condominium development in downtown Tampa and Water Street. Visit the luxury real estate page to learn more, or contact Barrett to arrange a confidential luxury consultation.
