I grew up in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of northeast Pennsylvania in a family that was very business minded and entrepreneurial. My family operated numerous business establishments throughout my childhood ranging from hospitality to real estate investments. We eventually moved to sunny Florida to escape the cold and expand. I accepted a larger role in the family business and learned first hand how to buy, sell and operate a successful business and what “customer service” truly means. A broker who listed one of their businesses inspired me to look into real estate and expand my horizons. I have always had a love for architecture and enjoy helping people so it seemed like a natural fit. My passion for real estate coupled with strengths in sales management and consumer relations has catapulted me to new levels in an amazing career.
With extensive knowledge of the Tampa Bay Area, I am able to assist buyers and sellers alike in obtaining their goals and dreams, while providing honesty, integrity and a level of commitment to customer service second to none. Listing or buying a home is the biggest decision in most peoples lives, and can be intimidating. With me on your side, you can can rest easy because I will work harder to fulfill your needs and achieve success for you!

Our experience with Chris has been wonderful. He took care of everything for us from the listing agreement to the closing. Honestly, there was nothing that he did not handle both professionally and effectively. We highly recommend him!

Buyer Review
Diana S., Hudson, FL
As first-time home buyers on a limited budget, we needed honest, consistant guidance from our agent, not only on the properties that were available to us, but also financing programs and lenders who would best serve our needs. Without Chris Read's hands-on assistance, there is no way that we would have been able to navigate the complex process of our purchase. At every turn, Chris was there to help, to answer questions, and relieve the anxiety that came with all of the unknows that most first-time home buyers face. He treated us not as if we were on a limited budget, but as if we were buying a six figure home. He made us feel like we mattered as human beings, and we never, at any time, felt like we were in it alone.
Chris Reade knows the real estate industry like nobody we ever imagined could, and our wish is that all home-buyers get the kind of support he gave us. Not only is he a brilliant agent, but a person who is sensitive, kind, and attentive. He's absolutely second to none.
