With decades of experience in real estate, Steve’s emphasis on simplicity is the key to it all. By carefully guiding his clients through the process, he keeps them informed so they can make clear, confident decisions regarding their home sale or purchase. His clients appreciate how he clearly spells things out and that he has the ability to say what’s on his mind.
Much like he does in work, keeping it simple enriches his life in his down time too. Family, friends, boating, horseback riding and of course his pet Chow dog TJ are where Steve finds his joy. “We make things so complicated in our everyday lives,” Steve explains. “They don’t need to be. If we can all just take a moment to sit back and really assess a situation, it’s usually not that complicated.” So when you’re looking for someone to guide you in your next real estate transaction, turn to Steve - the simple choice.

Melanie (Mel) Shotton moved to DeLand, Florida 42 years ago and never left. She fell in love with Central Florida, bought a house, got married, and had kids and grandkids. It is truly home for her and she loves to help others make the area their home as well.
She moved to the area to attend Stetson University where she earned a dual degree in History and Political Science (prelaw) and attended Daytona State to complete their paralegal program. She worked in law firms for many years in the fields of litigation, probate and real estate law. Her expertise included researching title work through the Attorneys Title Fund system.

She and her husband live in a 112-year-old house that they have owned for 30 years. This house has taught her a lot about home repairs, homeowners insurance, and expecting the unexpected.

- Christi SnyderRealtor
With roots in Central NY, Christi came to the Gainesville area as a young child - spending much time in the Ocala area before moving to the Middleburg area as a teenager. After raising her family back in New York State, she returned to the Ocala area in 2014.

She works in all types of real estate - from manufactured homes to luxury homes and farms.
