In-depth, not portal fluff
Every guide is a real local breakdown — schools, HOAs, new construction vs. resale, the good streets and the trade-offs. The stuff Zillow will never write.
Built for out-of-state buyers
Relocating? Each guide includes honest drive-times to the airport, downtown, and the Gulf beaches — so you can picture the life, not just the listing.
A real agent, when you want one
When you're ready, I'll hand-pick homes that fit you or set you up with your own private MLS search. A local expert, not an algorithm.
Ready to make a move?

Dan Grimes
I'm a Tampa real estate agent with Corcoran Dwellings, focused entirely on the communities north and west of the city — Westchase, Carrollwood, Lutz, Keystone, and up into Land O' Lakes. I write these guides myself, refresh the market data every month, and pick up the phone when you reply.
