About George Morgan, PA   Growing up on a horse ranch in the Catskill Mountains area of 'upstate' New York, I came to appreciate some of the beauty this country has to offer. When my aunt and uncle moved to Vina Del Mar (an island connected by a small bridge to St Pete Beach) in 1973, I came to visit and saw the complement to four season mountainous living … tropical and mild St Pete Beach. After that first visit, I knew that this was the area that I wanted to eventually relocate to. Most of my professional life was spent as a consulting engineer traveling throughout the United States to work the plant outages at several nuclear sites. Working at the Crystal River plant and the St Lucie plant (Hutchinson Island, Jensen Beach, Florida), gave me plenty of time to explore around the beautiful state of Florida. When the opportunity arose to work for a company in Clearwater as a Project Manager for an offshore data conversion service that was being performed in Manila, the Philippines, I jumped at the chance. It also allowed me to live in St Pete Beach when not overseas. After searching for a house and doing research on the area, I decided real estate was to be my next chosen field. From that point on, there was no looking back. I got hooked! I enjoyed what I was doing and was getting paid to do it. My varied experience and engineering background was a natural fit to have creative ideas, be negotiation oriented, multi-tasked, and detail oriented. Handling all the necessary negotiations and details of contracts, came easy to me. The secret to being successful in the real estate business is to be honest with full disclosure and to strive for a win-win situation for both sides of the real estate transaction. Living in several areas of this country provided me a great opportunity for meeting and understanding people. I feel fortunate I had this experience because real estate is all about matching people up with the right homes and that takes concerned questioning and patient understanding. My entire real estate career up till now has been with Century 21. After 2 years in real estate I attained the prestigious level of Centurion®. After a couple more years I attained the highly prestigious level of Double Centurion®. This is a level only the top ½ of 1% of Century 21 agents achieve. It is great honor and it is appreciated.  To date my career sales have exceeded $60,000,000. High energy and passion really does sell houses and I am grateful for having both of those qualities. My real estate career has brought me success, confidence, and a lifestyle that allows me to live and play in this section of the world we call – “Paradise”.   High energy and passion really does sell houses and I am grateful for having both of those qualities.

 Dear George,

 Just a short note to say “Thank You” for all your time and help during our buying of Pt. Pass-A-Grille.

 We love Pt. PAG and we’re making it our own. With some new decorating, with the great gift certificate you gave us, some paint & maybe some tile work.

 We’re glad you kept in touch with us since 2003, and now Dom has his own “beach house”.

 Your knowledge about Pass-A-Grille & Pt PAG made this transaction easy and with no second thoughts or regrets. It was a wonderful experience!!!

 We already went to a party at Pt PAG just before we left and met so many nice people. (Now to remember names). Everyone loves Pt PAG!!!

 Once again, “Thank You”, George it was a pleasure meeting you and doing business with you. You made everything easy and always helped us out.

 We’re very happy and thanks again!!!

To Jim Tibby,

We have recently purchased a dream home through your office. We were privileged to have George Morgan as our Broker.

At first we were not sure what we wanted. George was patient and showed us quite a number of houses. We changed our plan and needs and George showed us more great homes again, but still nothing really grabbed us. So he showed us more. He made himself available with good cheer and professionalism.

He made appointments that were prompt and well organized. He gave his professional opinion
on structural matters which was very helpful. But I must say in closing George shines. He was on top of the many details and truly protected us as his clients. Working with him was a pleasure.

3 Cheers For George!
Sincerely,

Sallie & Chris Lanigan

Dear Mr. Tibby;

For well over a year I worried what to do with an inherited piece of property on St Petersburg Beach. I knew that the house was a mess, that the yard was over grown, and that there was no chance of selling the property until these matters were dealt with, However, I also knew that, due to family and professional obligations, I was not at liberty to take the necessary time to travel to FL and personally attend to all that needed to be done to render the place marketable.

In early December of 1999, I phoned your office. George Morgan, PA was on "floor duty" that day and took my call. I stated that I wanted to list the home, explained the situation to him, and informed him that I was planning to come to St Pete to clean, paint, window dress, and garden in early January. I asked if he could view the property prior to my arrival to give me an idea of market value in preparation to entering into a listing agreement.

Mr. Morgan went went to property that same day and called me the following morning. He agreed that the place was in need of work, but suggested that with a little cleaning, the place could be listed "as is". He said that it would cost me more to come to FL to do the improvements than I would realize through the potential difference of the listing price. He made arrangements to have the home cleaned, carpets torn out, and the disposal of personal effects.

By December 13^th, the place was ready to list and show. I signed a listing agreement on the 13^th. Mr. Morgan received the document on the afternoon of the 15^th. He called me early that evening to say that he had just finished listing it on MLS. About two hours later he phoned again to inform me that he had received a full price, cash offer for the property. I was amazed!

The property closed on the 29^th of December and my months of worry came to an end. Thank you George! Thank you Mills First! Thank you Century 21!

Most sincerely,

Mary F. Sage

Dear Jim;

Just a note to let you know what a nice experience we had with George Morgan, PA and Century 21, Mills First. George was very knowledgeable professional, and heaven knows, patient. He not only did a terrific job selling our townhouse, and that was not easy with a few of the people with whom he dealt, but when it came to finding us a home, he certainly went above and beyond the call of duty.

We have never found it so difficult to buy a home, we think we hold the record for the most offers on the most homes in the shortest amount of time. George advised us well during this process, and should certainly get the "patience of the year" award. Even the night before closing, there were major problems with the owner of the home we were trying to buy,but George kept it all in perspective.

It is our opinion that you are very fortunate to have a professional such as George Morgan, PA. We wish to thank your office and George for making an experience that was headed for a nightmare into one that was very pleasant.

Sincerely,

Bob & Nancie Dale

Dear Mr. Tibby:

I had the good fortune of Mr. Morgan calling me on the phone last August to see if I wanted to sell my home on St Pete Beach. I Told him no, but I had property in St Petersburg that I was ready to sell. The next day he gave me all the information on my property and the surrounding neighborhood. After meeting with him and finding him so knowledgeable and motivated, I signed a contract with him. Mr. Morgan kept me up to date on inquires until the property was sold. It was an added difficulty due to the fact that my sister owned half the property and she lived in North Dakota. You are very fortunate to have an employee who works in the community with such high standards.

Sincerely,

Herbert Donat Sr.

St. Pete Beach

On a house hunting trip in St. Petersburg, my husband and I stopped by Century 21, St. Pete Beach and George Morgan, PA became our real estate agent. We were very fortunate to have George Morgan, PA help us locate our new home. We sat down with George and discussed our needs, likes and dislikes. George did a little research and drove us to Tierra Verde where we fell in-love with our new home.

We had very little time in the St. Pete area so George handled all of our needs long distance. We were several states away and we did not have to worry about anything. George kept us informed on all the details and handled everything. He went out of his way to take care of even the smallest things for us. For example, we wanted the carpets cleaned before we moved in and George came over to our condo with the key and let the carpet cleaner in to clean. He answered all our calls in a timely manner and had everything set up for us at closing. We have used many real estate agents in the past and George went over and beyond the call of duty with us. I would call upon George again if we should ever decide to move.

Dear Jim Tibby,

I am writing you to let you know how pleased we were with the job George Morgan, PA did in helping us sell our house last year. My husband, Eric, had spoken to George a few times on the phone prior to us deciding on using him to help us sell our house. Once the decision was made George was very helpful. He was in constant contact with us, informing us on what he was doing and what we needed to do. It was very evident that he was always working in our best interest. The thing that pleased me the most is that our house sold in about 3 months.

We were very pleased with the service that George provided us.

Thank you,

Eric & Anne Hobelmann
