Thanks for visiting with me today!  I'm Leslie Sibbitt, a full time licensed Florida Realtor and a member of the Greater Tampa Association of Realtors. I represent both buyers and sellers and I am a top producing real estate agent offering realty services in The Heights - Tampa Heights, Seminole Heights, Riverside Heights, Ybor Heights and Wellswood.  I also help buyers and sellers in the nearby urban Tampa neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Harbour Island, Davis Island and Channelside.

Buying a home in Seminole Heights, Riverside Heights, Tampa Heights or anywhere in urban Tampa is a smart move.  Your dollar goes a long way here.  I should know... my husband and I bought our 1925 bungalow in Tampa Heights 8 years ago and we haven't looked back.  We love the great deal we got and our home was just what we were looking for with its original oak floors, wood burning fireplace and high ceilings.  Plus being so close to everything is wonderful, including the long awaited upcoming $500 million dollar residential project called: The Heights of Tampa.  Located along the Hillsborough River this project will be a mix of single family homes, condos, restaurants and boutique shopping.  What an incredible boon to our neighborhood!

Are you a buyer looking for an experienced Realtor in Seminole Heights, Riverside Heights, Tampa Heights, Ybor Heights, Wellswood, Hyde Park, Harbour Island, Davis Island and Channelside?  Are you looking for homes for sale near downtown Tampa, University of Tampa, or the University of South Florida?  How about an old charming vintage home located in one of our many historic neighborhoods?  

Whatever your real estate goals are, it is extremely important that you utilize a real estate agent who really knows the neighborhood. I can guide you through your buying process or home sale expertly from my experience of living in and renovating old homes in urban Tampa  for nearly eight years.  Knowledge plus an experienced agent is key in protecting you in your real estate planning.
