TAMPA, FL – March 4, 2025 – Tomlin St Cyr Real Estate Services announces a significant leadership transition as Mary Ann Porter, the company’s first employee and a driving force behind its growth, steps away from her leadership role as the Managing Broker. From the beginning in 2015, Porter has played an instrumental role in making Tomlin St Cyr one of the largest and most respected real estate brokerages in Tampa Bay and along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Mary Ann boasts an impressive career spanning nearly four decades and has not only orchestrated the sale of some of the most exclusive and high-priced properties in Tampa Bay but has also played a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of real estate professionals. Her mentorship and guidance have propelled numerous agents into the elite ranks of the top 5% in the region, a testament to her exceptional leadership and expertise. Mary Ann’s comprehensive skill set, coupled with her extensive experience, positions her as a formidable force in the Tampa Bay real estate market and a sought-after advisor for both buyers and sellers of luxury and waterfront properties. She will continue on as a Broker Associate with Tomlin St Cyr.
Under Porter’s leadership, Tomlin St Cyr achieved remarkable milestones, earning recognition twice as one of the fastest-growing companies in Tampa Bay by the Tampa Bay Business Journal. Her strategic vision and dedication helped the company expand its footprint, doubling in size with the addition of Gulf Shores Realty in Venice, FL, to its family of companies. This expansion solidified Tomlin St Cyr as a premier full-service real estate enterprise, now encompassing a title company, an insurance agency, and a mortgage brokerage company.
“Mary Ann Porter has been the heartbeat of Tomlin St Cyr since day one,” said Ali St Cyr, Co-Owner of Tomlin St Cyr. “Her leadership, passion, and unwavering commitment have been pivotal in shaping our success and reputation. We are immensely grateful for her contributions and the legacy she leaves behind.”
Mary Ann proudly passes the torch to Diana Kurtz, who has been with the company for nine years. Diana’s experience as a Florida Realtors Director, previous Tampa Realtor Association, and Stellar MLS board member has brought tremendous value to the agents at Tomlin St Cyr and Gulf Shores Realty. She has held several roles within the company and has a true passion for developing and mentoring talent. The leaders at Tomlin St Cyr and Gulf Shores Realty appreciate all that Mary Ann has done to bring the company to today’s success and have full confidence in Diana’s ability to lead the company into the future.
As Tomlin St Cyr enters its next chapter, the company remains dedicated to delivering exceptional real estate services across the Gulf Coast. Our continued focus on developing agents to reach their highest potential through executive coaching and administrative assistant support will ensure we maintain a team of highly skilled professionals. Plans are underway to build upon the strong foundation established under Porter’s leadership, ensuring continued innovation, client service, and strategic expansion.
