As an independent operating real estate practice, there are many hats to wear for the licensed agent. Handling marketing of the business, marketing of listings, advertising, contract compliance, website and social media presence is behind the scenes from the view of the client. The goal of The Vann Team business model is to provide direct communication and guidance for clients with the principal agent, David Vann, while having the support of a specialized team who help make everything behind the scenes happen.
MEET DAVID VANN
Your Trusted Neighborhood Realtor
Navigating the real estate market and helping my community find their dream homes is more than just a job—it’s my passion.
I’ve called St. Petersburg home since 2003, raising my family here and embracing everything Tampa Bay has to offer. My wife and I have raised our three sons in this incredible community, and over the years, I’ve coached more than 50 youth baseball teams while actively participating in both Leadership St. Pete and Leadership Pinellas. These experiences have given me a deep connection to the area and a true appreciation for its vibrant culture, diverse neighborhoods, and unparalleled quality of life.
I began selling residential real estate in 2007, with my first listing being a Short Sale—an experience that taught me resilience and problem-solving early on. Now, with over 18 years of experience in the Tampa Bay market, I’ve helped buyers, sellers, and investors navigate every market shift. I average 20-25 transactions per year, with an annual sales volume of $25-$30 million. In 2024, my average transaction was $1.7 million, but I proudly serve clients across a wide range of price points, ensuring each one receives the same level of dedication and expertise.
Whether you’re buying or selling, I understand the intricacies of the process—inspections, repairs, contracts, appraisals, and negotiations—and work closely with agents, lenders, and brokers to ensure a seamless and successful transaction. My extensive network of top-tier photographers, stagers, contractors, roofers, and landscapers allows me to fully prepare homes for sale, maximizing their value and appeal. For local and out-of-town clients alike, having the right resources for inspections, repairs, and home improvements can make all the difference, and I take pride in offering trusted connections.
Some might say I’m living the dream—and I’d have to agree.
I truly value the trust my clients place in me, and my goal is to exceed expectations every step of the way. As a consistent top producer with RE/MAX and throughout Pinellas County, I prioritize communication, attention to detail, and sharp negotiation skills to deliver the best possible outcomes.
For me, real estate is about more than just transactions—it’s about taking care of people. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate real estate partner, I’d love to help.
Give me a call today, and let’s make your real estate dreams a reality!
