WHY WE CREATED THIS

NYC buyers browsing Zillow or Realtor.com often end up stuck in a mess–multiple agents, missed answers, and lost opportunities, especially on off-market homes you'll never see online. We fix that with one trusted point of contact and real local fire power.

Work with one trusted Tampa Bay buyer’s agent to find, tour, and close on the right home-without juggling 10 different agents.

Just One Buyer’s Agent, Period.

Stop repeating yourself to strangers. We learn your preferences once and advocate for you end-to-end.

Off-Market Access.

Quiet listings, FSBOs, bank-owned, expired - properties the public won't find.

AI Superagent Matching.

Exodus AI filters noise, flags real fits, manages scheduling, and reveals insights that matter-like pricing trends, days-on-market, neighborhood comps, and insurance red flags.

Remote "Eyes & Ears."

On-site verifications, FaceTime tours, and honest commentary before you book flights. Concierge Closing. Offers, negotiations, inspections, timelines-handled. You get clarity and speed.

STRAIGHT TALK ON COMMISSIONS

This is not a discount brokerage. You want loyalty and leverage; we deliver both. Here in Florida, most listings offer a buyer’s agent commission (typically 2%-3%). Our Buyer Broker Agreement is 3%; If a seller offers less, we negotiate the gap with the seller at offer time. Worst case, you cover any shortfall so we stay fully aligned and protect your interests.
