About Maksim Cruz

Max Cruz has long held a deep appreciation for the real estate industry, inspired by his father's entry into the field in 1997. This early exposure ignited Max's interest in the diverse opportunities and dynamic nature of real estate. Today, he serves clients looking to buy or sell properties in South Florida and Massachusetts, with a particular focus on acquiring, rehabilitating, and reselling underperforming properties. Max emphasizes the importance of a strong work ethic, stating, “Real estate transactions often represent the largest investment in a person's life, and they deserve authentic professional guidance throughout the process.”

Originally from Moscow, Max spent his formative years in Russia before relocating to Massachusetts at the age of ten. He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering Technology at the Wentworth Institute of Technology, living in Boston during his studies. Following graduation, he worked with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management. In 2013, he co-founded a general construction company, merging his architectural knowledge and construction skills with his passion for real estate. This journey included purchasing a fire-damaged home for renovation, where he navigated complex negotiations with the previous owner and local authorities. This experience underscored the importance of assembling a capable team that can proactively address challenges—a principle that continues to guide his work.

Max believes that having a qualified team is crucial in real estate, stating, “I am a team leader, but I also value diverse perspectives that can help achieve goals more efficiently.”

Having moved from colder climates, Max is particularly fond of the warm weather and vibrant culture of South Florida. He is drawn to the city's dynamic atmosphere, where new experiences and connections await daily. In the Miami real estate market, he specializes in multi-unit properties and single-family homes in areas such as Aventura, Brickell, Coral Gables, Downtown, Edgewater, Miami Beach, and Wynwood. His construction expertise also allows him to advise clients on property improvements that can enhance resale value.

Outside of work, Max enjoys cycling, traveling, and taking sunset walks with his wife, Leticia, and their two dogs, Simba and Mufasa. He maintains close ties with his extensive family and actively seeks opportunities for professional development and networking across various industries. Max is fluent in English, Spanish, and Russian.

Hillsborough County's real estate market stands as one of Florida's most dynamic and complex ecosystems, serving over 1.4 million residents across a diverse geographic landscape that spans from urban Tampa to rural eastern communities. The market's remarkable growth trajectory has attracted a substantial professional workforce, with 30,898 total actively licensed agents operating throughout the county, creating one of the most competitive real estate environments in the Southeast.

What makes this market particularly compelling is its accessibility and connectivity – all 30,898 agents maintain email contact information, reflecting the tech-savvy nature of Tampa Bay's real estate professionals. This digital infrastructure supports rapid communication and transaction processing across a market that handles everything from downtown high-rise condominiums to sprawling suburban developments and historic bungalows in established neighborhoods.

Major Hillsborough County, Florida Real Estate Markets

Tampa dominates the county's real estate landscape as the third-largest city in Florida, with distinct submarkets ranging from the revitalized downtown core and trendy Hyde Park to family-oriented Westchase and New Tampa. Plant City anchors the eastern agricultural region while maintaining its own residential growth patterns, and Temple Terrace offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern development near the University of South Florida corridor.

The county's geographic diversity creates fascinating market variations – waterfront properties along Tampa Bay command premium prices, while communities like Riverview, Valrico, and Brandon represent some of the fastest-growing suburban markets in the state. Emerging areas such as Fishhawk Ranch and Lithia have transformed from rural landscapes into master-planned communities, creating entirely new market dynamics that didn't exist a decade ago.

Market Dynamics and Geographic Complexity

Hillsborough County's real estate market operates across multiple price points and property types simultaneously, from luxury waterfront estates exceeding $2 million to affordable starter homes in developing corridors. The market benefits from Tampa's role as a major employment hub, with significant job growth in technology, healthcare, and finance driving consistent housing demand across diverse price ranges and geographic areas.

Seasonal fluctuations remain less pronounced than in other Florida markets due to the area's year-round resident population and strong local economy. However, the market faces unique challenges including rapid population growth, infrastructure development needs, and varying flood zone considerations that create distinct micro-markets within neighborhoods. These complexities require deep local knowledge that only experienced area agents possess.

Why Businesses Need Hillsborough County, Florida Agent Contact Data

The concentration of 30,898 licensed agents creates unprecedented opportunities for businesses serving the real estate industry, from mortgage lenders and title companies to home improvement contractors and moving services. This large professional network processes thousands of transactions monthly, generating consistent demand for specialized services, technology solutions, and professional development resources across the entire Tampa Bay region.

Having direct email access to this entire agent network enables businesses to efficiently target specific market segments, whether focusing on luxury specialists in South Tampa, new construction experts in developing suburbs, or commercial agents handling the county's expanding business districts. The market's diversity means agents regularly seek partnerships with vendors who understand local market conditions and can provide targeted solutions for their clients' varied needs.
