After spending more than thirty years on the financial and administrative sides of two large construction companies, and obtaining my CPA in Ohio, I decided to relocate to the Smoky Mountains area and plunge into the real estate market as a new realtor. Over the next ten years I experienced much success in two markets – residential properties and cabin investment properties.
During those ten years as a realtor I discovered that I enjoy helping others find the right home or the right investment property. Maneuvering through the myriad of paperwork can be challenging for a buyer or seller. Helping my clients accomplish their end goals with the least amount of stress and frustration is satisfying to me.
Having retired to Sun City Center a few years ago, I found that I missed that satisfaction and pursued my real estate license again. Working with clients in this retirement area and the surrounding marketplace has been very rewarding. My previous work experiences and education – construction, finance, administration, residential real estate, and investment real estate – helps me to be able to help you, the customer.
Before my final move to Sun City Center, I relocated more than ten times; both local moves and long distance moves. I have experienced the joys and the pain of moving and can relate well to my clients’ trials, tribulations, and thrills of the process of finding a new home or selling their current home.
Call me anytime for help in your search for your dream home or help to sell your current home. If you are relocating to or from another part of the country I can give you assistance. I have access to a wonderful network of realtors throughout the country and I can provide you with an agent anywhere in your area. My cell phone number is 813-326-5102.

about me….
How am I different from other real estate agents?
My attention to detail. I am totally committed to the highest level of service...from start to finish! From the very first meeting until closing, I will personally guide you through the home buying or selling process.
Experience
My wife and I relocated from Indianapolis, Indiana to the Tampa Bay South Shore area in 2014 after 25 successful years in sales, sales management, and marketing with a Fortune Top 50 telecommunication company.
I’m a graduate of Ball State University and a US Army Veteran. My drive to succeed carried over into real estate, where I pay attention to every detail and thankful for each opportunity to be of service to my customers. I am here to guide and support each buyer or seller.
My Commitment to You
I believe buying and selling real estate can be extremely stressful. It’s my goal to make the process as smooth as possible, with little hassle. I treat every transaction as if it were my own. There is no better feeling than calling one of my buyers or sellers to say their offer was accepted. That is why I do what I do.
It’s not only about selling homes but creating dreams and satisfied clients. I take a no-nonsense approach “I have best friends out there I haven’t met yet”
Communication
I am available! There are no small questions and I always keep my customers informed and up-to-date!

s.camacho@fl1stchoice.com
Sean Camacho a Tampa native for more than 33 years spent the majority of his childhood years working at his family's liquor store. At a young age, Sean started to learn entrepreneur skills by selling snacks and candy to the neighborhood kids; this was just the beginning of his entrepreneurial spirit. Over twenty years, he began to hone his skills in building personal relationships while gaining customer service experience. During this time, Sean worked throughout the Tampa Bay area from Brooksville to Brandon as far as Clearwater. Sean spent twelve of those years in a high volume competitive restaurant located in the middle of the Tampa International Airport. Near the end of his venture, he learned by listening to someone's needs, he could help them reach their goals. Working in the food and service industry gave him the passion for working one on one sales. With encouragement from friends, coworkers, and clientele, Sean decided to make an industry leap to Real Estate and put all the experience and knowledge to the test.
Before pursuing his passion, Sean would volunteer his time to community churches, coaching youth soccer, and help teach at a Pre-K daycare. He likes to use his free time as Treasurer of Band Booster Club, cycling with local ride-outs, live wrestling events, meetups with Pokemon Go community, volunteering with the Chamberlain High School Marching Band of the Mighty Chiefs, parades or even jump on stage to perform stand-up comedy.
Although Sean loves to stay busy, he is a hard-working family man with a Puerto Rican heritage. Taking care of his young daughter, who happens to be a Type 1 Diabetic, spending time with his teenage son and girlfriend is his only other passion in life. Sean's mission is to build a reputation and earn respect from the Tampa Bay area with exceptional service. Having passion, putting forth dedication, and commitment can drive success in a competitive sales environment.
