About Us

Tom and Shirley are a husband-and-wife real estate team with over 21 years of experience, serving clients across both the Chicagoland market and Central Florida.

Our Experience
After relocating to Florida in 2017, they established a strong presence in Lake County, with a particular focus on Clermont and Minneola.

From 2012 to 2025, they have helped clients complete over 600 transactions totaling more than $108 million in sales, providing them with deep, real-time insight into the local market.

Their experience includes both resale homes and new construction, allowing them to guide clients through builder options, community selection, and the nuances of new home purchases in the Central Florida market.

Our Specialty
Having personally relocated multiple times—from New Orleans to Seattle to Chicagoland and ultimately to Central Florida—they bring firsthand understanding of the challenges and decisions that come with major life moves.

They specialize in helping clients navigate relocation and life transitions, with a significant portion of their clients being 55+ buyers making downsizing and lifestyle-driven moves. They also work with buyers and sellers at all stages, including first-time buyers, growing families, and those making strategic moves within the area.

Why Clients Choose Us
Tom brings a 25-year background in hospitality with major hotel brands, shaping a service-first approach that defines their client experience.

They are also the creators of “The Florida Agents” YouTube channel, where they share insights on living in Central Florida, the Lake County market, and what buyers and sellers need to know before making a move.

By combining decades of experience, multi-market knowledge, and a hospitality-driven approach, Tom and Shirley help clients make confident, well-informed real estate decisions at every stage of life.

Shirley Guercio

My life in one sentence: Grew up in New Orleans, met a New York Italian and fell in love, he moved me to the north, I moved us back to the south, and enjoyed the tropical weather ever since.

Hometown: New Orleans, LA

Favorite food: Gumbo, Po Boys, red beans and rice, and anything chocolate.

Favorite hobby: Festivals at Disney with family and friends

Best purchase under $150 in the last year: Alexa. I check the weather everyday and she reminds me why I live in Florida and not Chicago.

Favorite 90's jam: You're still the one (Shania Twain)

Hometown: Buffalo, NY

Favorite food: Muffulettas, steak, wine, beignets, and Tabasco on anything.

Favorite hobby: Feet + Sand + Family.

Best purchase under $150 in the last year: Osmo mobile smartphone stabilizer. I feel like a professional videographer (far from it). 

Favorite 90's jam: Hotel California (Eagles).
