An agent who actually lives here.
Buying or selling in Odessa’s lake country deserves more than a name on a sign. It deserves a neighbor who knows every street, school, and shoreline — and answers his own phone.
“Odessa isn’t a market I cover.
It’s home.”
For Sellers
Your home’s value is set long before the first showing — in how it’s priced, prepared, and presented.
- Pricing built on real comparables — not an algorithm’s guess.
- Preparation & staging guidance, room by room, before launch.
- Professional photography and film — presentation worthy of the price.
- Negotiation that protects your equity, from list to close.
For Buyers
The right house is the easy part. The right street, lot, school zone, and resale story — that’s where a local matters.
- Private showings on your schedule, including off-market conversations.
- New-construction representation — the builder has an agent; you should too.
- Relocation guidance for families moving into the Tampa area.
- Offers written to win without overpaying for the win.
The neighborhoods I call home.
Lakes, preserves, equestrian land, and A-rated schools — this corner of Tampa Bay is what families move across the country for. I can tell you how each street feels at 8 a.m. on a school day, because I’m on them.

Thad Gourley
Thad lives right here in Odessa — the same lakes, the same school runs, the same Saturday mornings. When he represents your home, he’s not quoting a report; he’s describing his own backyard.
Clients get his cell, not a team inbox. One agent, start to finish — from the first walkthrough to the closing table.
Three steps. No mystery.
A conversation
Coffee, a walkthrough, and honest numbers — what your home is worth, or what your budget truly buys here.
A plan
Pricing, preparation, and timing built around your life — not a one-size template.
A close
Negotiated, papered, and done — with Thad at the table until the keys change hands.
“He knew the street’s drainage, the neighbor’s fence dispute, and what the house two doors down actually closed for. You can’t fake that.”

“We relocated from out of state. Thad drove us past the school pickup line at 3 p.m. — that’s when we knew we had the right agent.”
