St. Petersburg Realtor With 12 Years as a Real Estate Marketing CEO
I’m Mike Braswell, the Realtor behind LovingStPete. Before becoming a Realtor, I built a real estate marketing company and served as its CEO for 12 years before the company was acquired by VRBO. Today, I bring that marketing experience to real estate clients throughout St. Petersburg, the beaches and Pinellas County, supported by my local team at Keller Williams St. Pete.
That background shapes how my team and I market homes today. In addition to the MLS, we invest in enhanced exposure through Zillow Showcase, Realtor.com Spotlight and the Homes.com network. Depending on the property, our marketing can also include drone photography, floor plans, 3D home tours and other tools designed to help a home stand out to buyers.
Our marketing reach extends beyond the major real estate websites. LovingStPete.com averaged nearly 200,000 Google search impressions per month in 2025, while our local social media audience gives us another way to reach people interested in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. For waterfront properties, we can also tap into our Tampa Bay Waterfront Life & Beaches Facebook community of 23K+ followers. And through Keller Williams St. Pete, we’re connected to a local office of more than 200 real estate agents.

St. Petersburg Real Estate Experience & Local Neighborhood Knowledge
Our real estate team helps buyers and sellers throughout St. Petersburg, the beaches and Pinellas County. Through LovingStPete, I’ve spent years highlighting the neighborhoods, local businesses and lifestyle that make this area unique. That local knowledge can be especially valuable when deciding where to buy, how to position a home for sale, and what makes one neighborhood, or even one street, different from another.
I’m also backed by the extensive Keller Williams St. Pete network, with more than 200 agents at our brokerage. That local network can help sellers generate additional exposure and gives buyers another avenue for hearing about properties, including opportunities that may be shared within the brokerage before or outside of the traditional home-search process.
Selling a home takes more than putting it in the MLS and waiting for buyers to find it. We combine professional photography, digital marketing, social media, open houses, local networking and broader online exposure to help put our sellers’ properties in front of potential buyers. My background in real estate marketing, combined with the local reach we’ve built through LovingStPete, gives us additional ways to market a property beyond the standard MLS.
We help buyers and sellers throughout St. Petersburg and Pinellas County, including the Old Northeast, Shore Acres, Venetian Isles, Disston Heights, Snell Isle, Tierra Verde, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Gulfport, Clearwater, Pinellas Park, Seminole and surrounding communities.

What St. Petersburg Buyers & Sellers Say
“If finding the perfect home to buy in St Petersburg is an Olympic sport, Mike, Leah, and Michael deserve Gold medals, and possibly a parade! From the moment we began our search, this amazing team demonstrated an uncanny ability to match listings to our ever-evolving wish list (which, let’s be honest, grew longer than a CVS receipt). Patient? Absolutely! Leah toured homes with us like a truly seasoned guide, highlighting both the hidden gems and the “maybe nots” with refreshing honesty. As our preferences shifted, they adapted faster than a GPS recalculates after a missed turn. When we finally found “the one,” Mike became our negotiation ninja, keenly strategizing our offer and nimbly navigating the seller/seller’s broker.
Thanks to Mike’s professional diligence and pleasant persistence, we secured not only our dream home but also some impressive concessions (including repairs, painting, and a brand-new roof! If you want a real estate agent team who combines expertise, diligence, and devotion to relentless advocacy, with enough comfort and humor to keep the process enjoyable, then Mike/Leah/Michael are your go-to choice team! We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants an agent that truly puts clients first and makes the process painless and even fun! With Mike and his crew in your corner, house hunting feels less like a marathon and more like a victory lap—complete with confetti and the keys to your new home!”
Testimonial from Erin
“I’m so happy that we chose Mike and his team to sell our home in Seminole. I was completely impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and customer service. He has so much knowledge of this area and was such a hands on professional that worked around our busy schedule. He met with us and came up with a plan that we followed and happy to say we had a multiple offers above our asking price within the first 48 hours of our open house. We were thrilled to close within 15 days of listing our home. The process was so easy and successful we recommend him to ALL of our family and friends. I highly recommend Mike if you are buying our selling your home. With so many realtors in the area look no further Mike is the one you want.”
