Imagine enduring four feet of water inside your home. That’s just one of the gripping stories shared by our guest, Sam Caudle, a vibrant real estate personality and Instagram sensation known for showcasing the dynamic Tampa region. Sam's journey from Oklahoma to Florida brought him face-to-face with the challenges and rewards of life in this hurricane-prone area. From the heartache of natural disasters to the resilience of Tampa’s real estate market, Sam brings personal anecdotes and professional insights that paint a vivid picture of recovery and growth in the Sunshine State.

We also tackle the complexities of FEMA regulations and the notorious 49% rule impacting property assessments in Florida. Listen as we break down how these regulations affect homeowners and the real estate landscape. Additionally, we explore the ripple effect of demographic shifts, with snowbirds flocking to Tampa and residents moving from Miami due to rising costs. Join us for an episode packed with stories of resilience, insights into market trends, and even a few tales about the joys and challenges of raising chickens in North Tampa.

"Sam gave us an inside look on the real estate market in Tampa and what it means to get pummeled by Hurricanes year after year.  Can you imagine 4 ft of water in your home happening two times in 3 years?  You have to hear his story and he still has a sense of humor about it all.  Believe it or NOT, the weather in Florida is still the main reason people flock to this state.  I LOVE FLORIDA!" - Brad Weisman
