Born and raised in Tampa, Realtor Stacie McCullers brings a wealth of knowledge to her clients. Stacie has over 18 years of experience as a Realtor and 23 years managing a small business. She has a broad range of experience in all real estate transactions, with exceptional expertise in representing sellers. Stacie’s experience, tenacity, and passion have put her in the top 5% of agents in Tampa Bay by sales volume.

She strives to give the best customer service and commitment to her clients. “One of my recent clients purchased a new build in the Tampa area. My client was moving from out of state and was unable to attend many meetings,” said Stacie. “I stepped in and met with the design team and contractor, met with all of the vendors for the house finishes, and facilitated additional outside vendors to complete work after the contract was executed.”

Stacie also recently partnered with an individual with an extensive portfolio of investment properties related to commercial and residential real estate. “It was a fantastic opportunity. I have been seeking to broaden my knowledge of individual and institutional investors,” she said. “We closed on a deal in just a matter of weeks, and the experience widened my scope of knowledge immensely.”

The dedicated approach Stacie takes regarding her clients is her most valuable tool. “I believe real estate is an act of service to others,” said Stacie. “I strive to provide superior service, prompt communication, and unyielding support for all my clients. Whether you are facing a transitional time and need to buy or sell your home now, or are looking to build a security net through real estate investments, I am here for you.”

Stacie appreciates the enormous responsibility she holds to make sure all clients make the best decision for them. She always strives to redefine exceptional real estate service one relationship at a time. What sets her apart is that her business is built on communication, dedication, and transparency.

“Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial decisions someone will make,” Stacie said. “Tomlin St Cyr’s international reach, professional videography, creative negotiations, and additional partners within the brokerage – such as a title company, mortgage company, and insurance – are just a few of the things that have catapulted Tomlin St Cyr to the top 1% of brokerages in the Tampa Bay area.”

Stacie is a University of South Florida graduate with a Communications degree. She and her husband Lance, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, have raised three boys: Lance Jr., also an MLB pitcher, Ryan, a firefighter, and Austin, who works in the financial sector in Tampa.

She supports several causes but is particularly passionate about Hillsborough County firefighters’ charities that aid families of fallen or injured firefighters and The Lance McCullers, Jr. Foundation, which supports animal shelters and programs that promote pet adoptions.

“I enjoy the profound impact that I can have on the lives of my clients,” said Stacie. “Real estate transactions can be one of the most important financial and emotional decisions in a person’s life. Being a Realtor, I get to do work that matters, help others, and make a positive impact on our communities.”

In her fourth year with the brokerage, Tomlin St Cyr Realtor Mary Michelle Mitchell focuses on helping buyers connect with the best home and mortgage broker that fits their situation and needs.

“My most valuable tool is communication,” she said. “I always, always talk to my buyers, sellers, and everyone involved in the transaction on a regular basis. I have been told by buyers, sellers, and even other agents that I interacted with how patient, kind, and organized I am. This is extremely helpful for a smoother transaction.”

Mary Michelle enjoys advocating for buyers and sellers to ensure they get the best care, resources, and as little stress as possible during their transactions. Recently, she was able to get an earlier closing date on a new build for a buyer, as well as extra closing credits, by using her skills as a certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE).

She regularly goes above and beyond for her clients. A recent example of this was helping out-of-state buyers who were arriving at their new home but didn’t get in until after midnight. “I shopped for them and filled their fridge with milk, water, and snacks, and purchased a coffee maker and coffee, bagels, and other quick fixings, along with an extra set of silverware, plates, cups, and napkins so they didn’t have to worry about food when they arrived or breakfast the next morning,” said Mary Michelle.

Here are some pro real estate tips from Mary Michelle:

• For buyers and sellers: “I always encourage an inspection. No matter what.”
  • For sellers: “This will prevent any surprises during the inspection period.”
  • For buyers: “Even with new builds, they will have a clear understanding of what they are buying.”
• For new agents: “It’s OK not to know an answer right away. Use your broker’s and your team’s experience and knowledge.”

Originally from New Jersey, Mary Michelle moved to Sarasota in 2000, where she lived for six years, married, and started a family. While there, she received her AA degree in Business Administration while working for a high-end custom home builder as a customer liaison.

In 2005, she and her family moved to Lutz in the Tampa Bay area, where she continued on in the construction industry. From there, she opened her own little coffee shop until it was time to relocate out of state. After a brief absence from Pasco County, she has returned to the area where she truly feels at home. Mary Michelle has worked in the customer service industry for over 30 years and joined Tomlin St Cyr Real Estate in early 2020.

With Jesus Suarez as your Realtor, you’re getting a lifetime of knowledge on the Tampa Bay area. Born and raised in Tampa, Jesus has had a background in construction, flipping houses, and customer service since age 15.

“What I love about real estate and what just gets me very excited about the industry is that I have been surrounded by real estate most of my life,” said Jesus. “It is something that is very challenging but very rewarding. It’s a huge purchase in many of our lives. So being able to make the process more humanizing is always what I seek out in this career.”

Persistence is how one would describe Jesus. He never gives up, even when life throws challenges his way. He believes that if there is a will, there is always a way.

Jesus’ experience in customer service helps him succeed. His background in real estate, retail, as a manager, and as a barista helps him get to know his clients and create meaningful connections.

“Making that customer connection, as well as being persistent in following up, is my value proposition,” Jesus said. “Some forget that people are making huge decisions on purchasing a home. I see many Realtors in the area that care more about a commission than the customer’s best interests. I will always fight for what’s right.”

Jesus is also involved with his community. He volunteers at Metropolitan Ministries every Christmas to help pass out toys and food to those in need. “I am passionate about helping out our community with the amount of change Tampa is going to go through,” he said.
