Even though real estate is a business, Sunny knows every real estate investment is very personal and emotional for the homeowner. That is what drew her to the industry thirteen years ago. As both a veteran and military spouse, she moved her family all over the country. Every move meant the daunting task of buying a new home and selling an old home while getting her family settled in a new community. But practice makes perfect. Her first-hand experience making sense of new markets, getting the best deals at the worst times, and transient homeownership made residential real estate and property management the perfect fit.
After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, she earned a commission in the US Army, where she served with distinction for six years. Her first assignment was Fort Bragg, NC, where she met her husband while jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. Her last assignment was Fort Belvoir, VA, where she had the distinct honor of serving Gold Star Families and military families with Wounded Warriors.
After transitioning from the military, she earned her Master’s in Corporate Communications to take her residential marketing skills to the next level. Her husband’s final assignment was with USSOCOM on MacDill Airforce Base. They made some fantastic family memories and fell in love with Tampa. It was an easy choice to make Tampa their family’s forever home after he retired from Active Duty.
Sunny’s core belief is faithful service to family, friends, and community. She is active in her church and enjoys supporting and leading philanthropic events in the Tampa bay community. She enjoys an active membership in the Tampa Downtown Rotary Club, Board of Directors for West Point Society Florida, Board of Directors for 21&Change (Nonprofit serving special needs children), and Amazing Love Ministries (serving the homeless and less fortunate). She is the recipient of the 2019 Ambassador for Change Award presented by 21&Change.
She proudly serves as a real estate Broker in the Tampa Bay area to include St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Sarasota, FL. She is also a member of the Vacation Rental Management Association (VRMA) and certified Vacation Rental Management Professional.
Jordan is a husband, father, and disabled veteran who recently transitioned from the US Military. Finding the perfect career track to build on a wealth of experience gained during military service is the greatest challenge every service member faces. As a Special Forces Green Beret, he developed a passion for building and leading small teams of specially selected and highly trained professional problem solvers. The Special Force’s mission is to provide commanders with eyes, ears, and boots on the ground they can trust to handle the toughest problems. For Jordan, the transition from managing missions for commanders to managing properties for investors was a natural fit.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, Jordan earned his commission in the US Army. His first assignment was at Fort Bragg, NC, where his greatest accomplishment was convincing the most beautiful 2nd Lieutenant and fellow paratrooper to marry him. He served in a Special Operations community and culture that values professionalism, integrity, family, and mission accomplishment. Iron sharpens iron, and he was fortunate to be surrounded by some of America’s very best.
His final assignment in the military was MacDill Airforce Base in the Tampa Bay community. His family fell in love with Tampa. After the military, the decision to settle his family in a year-round vacation destination to begin his post-military career was the winning choice. After transitioning from the military, he became a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). He also earned his Master’s in Business Administration to adapt the skills and experience to the civilian sector.
Following 22 years of military service, he learned three critical life lessons: believe in your mission, surround yourself with talent, and put your faith and family first. For those reasons, he was extremely excited to partner with his wife, a very successful, talented, and driven Realtor©. Together, they are invested in the community and driven to be the team you trust to protect your assets, maximize your investment, and provide unmatched service to tenants.
After serving nearly 12 years on active duty, Michael understands the hassle and stress of buying, selling, and managing properties and has made it his mission to help others through this process. Having moved almost 10 times in 10 years in the Army, Michael has learned to navigate these challenges and is eager to make this his full-time job as he fully transitions out of the military. He is a team builder, leader developer, and problem solver. Recently, Michael and his veteran wife, Lisa, purchased their forever home after falling in love with the Tampa area and are seeking opportunities to be active in their local community.
Upon graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Michael earned a commission as an Infantry Officer and served multiple assignments along the east coast as well as deploying to both Afghanistan and Iraq. His most recent assignment was at his Alma Mater where he trained, advised, and coached cadets in their journey to become commissioned Officers in the US Army. He understands the value of putting time and effort into developing his community and the future of our country.
Michael and Lisa have been managing short term rentals in Tampa for two years and have three of their own. He enjoys giving others a chance to experience all that Tampa has to offer. This amazing city is full of potential, and Michael jumped on the opportunity to partner with Sunny and Jordan, knowing that with their common military background and commitment to excellence, this phenomenal team would do their upmost to deliver nothing less than superior service to others.

Daniel graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in insurance. He has worked as a residential insurance underwriter for the past ten years but has always had a passion for real estate investing and financial independence. His analytical skills and knowledge gained in the insurance industry translated seamlessly into real estate market analysis for his personal investments.

After years of exposure and experience in real estate investing, he is driven to become financially free and passionate about helping others do the same.
Daniel lived in Mississippi for over 30 years before moving to Orlando to pursue a management role in the insurance industry. At that time, he met his now wife, Evan Murphree, who works as a surgical technician in the operating room. Evan began doing travel assignments leading them to Tampa. They loved Tampa so much that they decided to purchase a new primary home in South Tampa and recently bought another short-term rental property in Seminole. In addition, they rent their property in Kissimmee on Airbnb, along with a long-term rental in Mississippi.
Daniel and Evan have extensive experience with short-term rentals. When they first married, they lived in a four-bedroom townhouse in Kissimmee (near Disney World) and rented 2 of the rooms out on Airbnb. Daniel also worked with his mother-in-law helping manage over 40 short-term rentals in Kissimmee for over one year. They now own a total of 4 properties and plan to keep growing their portfolio to reach financial independence and help teach others how to achieve the same goal.
