1. About Me
Saturday, January 29, 2011

2. I am a third generation Tallahassean who
has always enjoyed the “Mayberry”
quality of life. Like my grandfather
before me, I have been a realtor for over
22 years. I have always enjoyed being
able to help people find a home looking
for that same quality of life.
I enjoy what I do . because of the thrill I
get when a person puts me in charge of
helping them with their real estate need,
either buying or selling. It’s like having
one piece of a puzzle and now the fun is
finding that other piece of the puzzle.
After the two pieces come together, I am
the hero of the day.

3. How I got into Real Estate
After I graduated from college, I was 21 and shucking oysters at Barnacle Bills. My roommate came
home one day in a white Cherokee Jeep with a logo on the side saying, “KILLEARN PROPERTIES.” I
asked him where and how he got the Jeep (at that time I was driving my grandfathers 1975 Dodge Dart.)
He said that he got a job at Killearn Properties showing people around and getting paid to do it while
enjoying this nice vehicle.
Since the home I was born in was the first in the subdivision of Killearn, I knew more about Killearn than
most people. I quickly got the job and the vehicle! After 4 years, I ended up being one of the Realtors
involved in the overall sale of the remaining real estate held by Killearn Properties for 25 Million
Dollars. Without a job and developer, I teamed up to work together with my good friend Kevin Davis at
Blue Chip Realty in 1993.
Bert Pope and Associates LLC was started in 2000 and has enjoyed assisting people with their real estate
needs ever since.

4. Cool things I’ve done
• I created a TV program on NBC TV 40 called the
Real Estate Weekend Showcase. It highlighted
areas of interest to visit in Tallahassee as well as
over a hundred homes being marketed throughout
town.
• I hosted a Real Estate Radio program on ESPN on
Saturday mornings at 9am. Every week I had
guests from the real estate community come to
give insight to the real estate market through
historical data and sharing where new
communities were going to be popping up. At the
end of the show I did a “top 10 best buys in
Tallahassee.”
• I’ve been featured multiple times of Fox news
nationally during the real estate segment.
• I’ve had a multi-million dollar listing highlighted
in USA Today.

5. My biggest tool that I have is
my ears. In the beginning of
my real estate career someone
told me to SHUT UP and
LISTEN to the people and their
needs. Along with listening, I
make sure the process of
buying or selling that can
sometimes be so overwhelming
is not. The process should be
enjoyable not stressful. I take
pride in taking that burden
from my clients.

our family.

our third baby, Banks, in 2010.

7. My Goals
My goal is to produce over 15 million in sales this year.
For the homes I will market this year,I am dedicated to keep updating and
creating my Strategy for Selling that gives my sellers optimal exposure to the
market.
My main marketing focus is through individualized marketing, each home
depending on price range may have an address specific web site, send out
1000 broker to broker e-mail flyers about the home with photos, use the
internet/ my web site /plus syndicate throughout all the major search engines
and web sites for real estate, plus a rider on my real estate sign with eye
catching on-site texting ability for that homes information. No other realtors I
know of around Tallahassee are doing this.
For the buyers I work with this year, I am going to focus, as always, on the
area and price range of interest. If there is no current home offered that meets
their needs. I will enter into the MLS their e-mail address and instantly when
a new home comes up in MLS in their area of interest it will be sent directly
to them.

8. An Invitation
I have the advantage of being from Tallahassee and most of my
clients come from referrals.
If you don’t really know me and are trying to make the decision of
who you would like to help you with your real estate needs, feel free
to contact any of my past clients and read through my testimonials.
I try to treat all my clients like family. I go the extra mile to make
sure everyone is happy and satisfied.
My success is measured by your satisfaction. My only rule in real
estate is the golden rule.
I want to be your realtor.
