About Me

Thank you for your interest in my business.  I have an extensive background in sales and sales management, business management, and real estate.  My career started with managing  Madelyn’s Flower Shop in Locust Grove, OK then on to several positions with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  While working my way up the corporate ladder, I built and sold several homes in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.  My wife, Margaret and daughter Elisabeth all moved to Tampa, FL in 2000 to direct a corporate call center for SBC Telecom.  After 6 months of managing the call center sales and service center, I decided to leave the corporate world and go into real estate.  It has been a great fit for me and my family.  I enjoy the opportunities to meet new people and genuinely care about their needs to make a solid decision on their largest purchase in their lifetime.  I count each opportunity a blessing. 

I have sold nearly 200 homes during this time and have worked with countless families to help them make the wisest decision on their real estate needs. 

Since moving to the Tampa Bay area, we have resided in Wesley Chapel, Lutz, and now Spring Hill.  Each community has its own unique qualities.  I maintain current knowledge of all the Tampa Bay areas, and if I don’t know about the area, I do know someone who does. 

My family and I enjoy traveling across our beautiful country, visiting our local world class beaches, the Georgia Mountains, gardening, and cooking @ home.  Our two Dachshunds, Nutmeg and Cinnamon-the Spice Girls, are our constant companions. 

My desire is to become a trusted real estate partner with you and share my professionalism and friendship with you for many years to come.  Thank you and I hope to meet you soon!

Sincerely,

James Saffell
