In this episode, Jeff sits down with Tampa Bay Realtor Karina Bell, whose real estate career stretches from New Mexico to Germany and now Florida’s Gulf Coast. Karina shares how an unexpected conversation at a bank launched her into real estate, how military life shaped her expertise, and why helping military families relocate—often sight unseen—has become her true calling.

From rebuilding her business after multiple moves to earning trust through transparency and meticulous virtual tours, her story is a masterclass in resilience, empathy, and intentional growth.

Jeff and Karina also dig into the realities of the Tampa Bay market, from post-hurricane insurance challenges to shifting affordability along the coast. Karina explains how social media and authentic storytelling fuel her business, why referrals remain her strongest lead source, and what new agents should focus on to build momentum.

Her advice is simple but powerful: be consistent, be human, and keep going—success often arrives right after the moments when most people quit.
