Assisting Real Estate Buyers and Sellers in Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough County, Florida, for Over 23 Years
ABOUT CHRIS O'CONNOR

Mensa & Intertel Member | Results-Driven Professional
Being a Realtor® is not just a profession for me — it’s a responsibility I take to heart. I treat every client with the same honesty, dedication, and care I’d give my own family. That’s why nearly all of my past buyers and sellers choose to work with me again. My mission is simple: to protect your interests, exceed your expectations, and deliver the results you deserve.
As a member of both Mensa and Intertel, two of the world’s most respected high-IQ societies, I bring sharp analytical skills, strategic thinking, and exceptional attention to detail to every transaction. But intelligence is only part of the equation. My reputation is built equally on work ethic and integrity.
I believe in telling the truth — even when it’s not what someone hopes to hear. If you ask me for a home valuation, you’ll get an honest assessment backed by facts, not empty promises or inflated numbers. Real estate should never be about sales pressure or unrealistic expectations. It’s about trust.
I’ve been a part of the Tampa Bay real estate market for over 25 years and have an in-depth understanding of the region’s neighborhoods, market trends, and property values. Whether you’re relocating from out of town or moving within the area, I’ll help you find the right home in the right community — and negotiate the right deal. If you’re selling, I’ll work tirelessly to make sure your home is positioned, priced, and marketed to attract serious buyers and maximize your return.
My relationship with clients doesn’t end at closing — I aim to be your trusted Realtor for life. I'm always available for questions, guidance, or just a quick check-in to see how you're enjoying your new place. Real estate is more than a transaction to me — it’s a long-term commitment to your success and satisfaction.
If you're thinking of buying or selling in the Tampa Bay area, I’d be honored to speak with you. Call or text me anytime at 727-804-5319 — there’s never any pressure or obligation. Let’s talk, get to know each other, and start building a relationship you can rely on for years to come.
