Honorable Mayor Sonny McCoy
BOCe District 3
Mayor McCoy,
, am interested and excited about the prospect of serving on the Monroe County
Planning Board!
I understand that that there are 2 monthly meetings and much homework to do. I
will gladly make the time available to serve the community in such an important
capacity to the best of my abilities.
As you know I will advocate for workforce housing. As a Realtor I understand the
sanctity of private property rights. I also am an advocate of environmental
causes.
Here are the brief highlights of my career.
1970 I sold approximately 250 affordable homes in Riverside Manor in South
Bend, Indiana. These were built by National Homes for low income persons.
They were financed by an experimental FHA program.
1974 Indiana Real Estate License, South Bend Mishawaka Association of
Realtors. This area is medium size cities.
1975 Michigan Real Estate License, Southwestern Michigan Association of
Realtors. This area is very rural.
19n Fort Myers-I sold FHA, VA and Farm Home Administration for a builder,
Hunter Homes, Inc. I sold approximately 200 homes that were spot built in Lee
County. The FHA's and VA's were for first time buyers. The homes financed by
Farm Home were subsidized.
At this time Lee County was beginning to enjoy its explosive growth. (Population
35,000 in 1977, today it is 400,000). Consequently we worked with developers
while they were creating subdivisions, like San Carlos Park, with its 10,000 single
family home sights to assure that we could continually build homes that fit the
budget of working families.
1980 Florida Real Estate License
Home Hunters, Ine-General real estate and new construction specialist. I worked
in the general real estate market in Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers, Pine
Island and Cape Coral.

1993 I moved to Key West. I managed a guest house, I worked in advanced
reservations and 4 years ago I re-entered the general real estate market in Key
West and the Lower Keys.
I am serving on the Key West Community Housing Task Force since its
inception. I am currently serving on the LAST Workforce Housing Task Force for
Monroe County. I also have served on the Key West Association of Realtors
Education Committee for the past 2 years. I am active with the KWAR RPAC
Committee. Last week I finished qualifying for my GRI (Graduate Realtor
lnstitute) which is a professional designation from the National Association of
Realtors. This course covers all aspects of the real estate profession. I am
certified by HUD for diversity.
Sincerely,
..-.....
