Family First
Tucker and his wife Kari are raising their three kids right here in High Springs—tubing down the Ichetucknee, exploring Ginnie Springs, and enjoying everything that makes North Central Florida such a special place to call home.
Born and raised in North Florida and a University of Florida graduate, Tucker spent years in timber and forestry consulting before moving into real estate. He knows this land, these communities, and what it means to build a life here.
That perspective shapes how we work with property owners. Whether you're dealing with an inherited home, unused land, or just exploring your options—we get it.

Need to stay in the home after closing? We can structure a rent-back agreement that gives you time to transition.
Your Timeline

What Property Owners Say
Real feedback from real people we've worked with across North Central Florida.
“My mom was in bad health and had to move into a nursing home. Tucker and Chris worked with our local attorney and closed everything in less than 30 days. They made a difficult situation so much easier for our family.”
Angela Robinson
High Springs, FL • Daughter of homeowner
“Mom's health had declined and the house had become overwhelming. Tucker and Chris made a fair offer, were incredibly patient with us, handled the cleanup, and treated our family with so much respect throughout the process.”
Karen Mitchell
Newberry, FL • Daughter of homeowner
“We had a family home that had been passed down through generations, plus a tenant situation that was complicated. Tucker and Chris worked through the probate issues with us and made a fair offer. They did what they said they would do.”
James Carter
High Springs, FL • Family home sale
“I bought a vacant lot back in the early 90s and finally decided to sell. Tucker and Chris paid a fair price and we closed in about two weeks. Simple and straightforward—exactly what I was hoping for.”
Mark Reynolds
Gainesville, FL • Vacant land owner
“I owned three lots and my attorney actually referred me to Tucker and Chris. They paid what I had into the project so I didn't take a loss. Professional, fair, and easy to work with.”
