About Ted Degroot

Ted DeGroot has been a dedicated real estate professional since 1997, focusing primarily on residential properties in Collier County, Florida.

Following his college education and military service, DeGroot embarked on a career in the audio-visual industry, where he worked at a television station in Flint, Michigan. His talents quickly led him to develop promotional campaigns for the United Fund, as well as television specials for major automotive companies. Notably, he served as the radio and television producer for the Detroit Red Wings and contributed to the creation of the "Be All You Can Be" campaign for the U.S. Army.

Upon relocating to Florida, DeGroot shifted his focus to promoting high-quality resorts to international tourists. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish one of the early internet directories, paving the way for online searches. He also ventured into e-commerce, business brokerage, and the marketing of luxury homes. Since 2000, his efforts have been concentrated on enhancing the value of real estate investments through the buying and selling of residential properties.

An avid runner, golfer, and sailor, DeGroot enjoys the Gulf of Mexico's waters and occasionally plays tennis. He has a penchant for adventure, having explored the Everglades and dined in South Beach. Before settling in Southwest Florida, he was an enthusiastic duck hunter, downhill skier, and camper, often challenging himself with cross-country skiing and winter camping along Lake Superior. He also gained experience working on various pleasure boats, including a 48-foot racing sailboat on Lakes Huron and Erie, akin to America's Cup racing.

DeGroot's travels have taken him across the United States and Canada, including a memorable drive to Alaska with side trips to Inuvik and Labrador. His international experiences span Europe, Northern Africa, and parts of Northern South America.

Since moving to Naples from Rochester, Michigan, in 1994, DeGroot has actively participated in numerous community organizations. He has served as a board member and committee chair for his local homeowner association, as well as for the Friends of Fakahatchee, a support organization for the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. He is also involved with the East Naples Civic Association and serves on the board of East Naples Kiwanis, a service organization focused on assisting children in need. Additionally, he has held leadership roles with the Naples Players, a prominent community theater, where he received one of the organization’s highest honors.

DeGroot is recognized for his in-depth knowledge of Southwest Florida real estate and his commitment to being a formidable negotiator, dedicated to achieving optimal results for his clients.

Broward County's real estate market stands as one of South Florida's most dynamic and diverse property landscapes, stretching from the Atlantic coastline to the western Everglades with over 31 municipalities creating distinct micro-markets. With 56,008 total actively licensed agents serving this expansive region, the county represents a concentrated hub of real estate activity that rivals major metropolitan areas nationwide. This substantial agent population reflects the area's robust transaction volume and the complex nature of serving everything from luxury oceanfront condominiums in Fort Lauderdale to suburban family homes in Plantation and Coral Springs.

The sheer density of licensed professionals—with all 56,008 agents maintaining active email communications—demonstrates how technology-driven and interconnected this market has become. Unlike many markets where agent communication remains fragmented across various platforms, Broward County's comprehensive digital connectivity enables rapid information flow and collaboration across its geographically diverse territories, from the canal-front properties of Las Olas to the golf course communities of Weston.

Major Broward County, Florida Real Estate Markets

Fort Lauderdale serves as the county's primary economic engine, with its downtown core, beachfront districts, and expanding urban neighborhoods attracting both international investors and domestic relocations. The city's market complexity spans from multi-million dollar yachting estates along the Intracoastal to emerging neighborhoods like Flagler Village, where industrial conversions meet modern urban living. Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and Coral Springs each maintain distinct market characteristics, with Hollywood's beachfront revival competing directly with Miami Beach, while western communities like Davie and Southwest Ranches offer equestrian properties and larger lots appealing to families seeking space.

The county's coastal markets from Deerfield Beach south to Hallandale Beach create a continuous luxury corridor, each with specialized agent expertise in oceanfront regulations, hurricane-resistant construction, and international buyer preferences. Meanwhile, inland markets like Sunrise, Tamarac, and Margate have evolved from retirement communities into multigenerational neighborhoods, requiring agents skilled in both active adult communities and traditional family housing markets.

Market Dynamics and Geographic Complexity

Broward County's real estate complexity stems from its unique position between Miami-Dade's international luxury focus and Palm Beach County's established wealth corridors. This geographic sandwich effect creates pricing pressures and buyer migration patterns that require sophisticated market knowledge, explaining why the county supports such a large agent population relative to its size. The market experiences significant seasonal fluctuations, with winter months bringing Canadian and northeastern buyers, while summer periods see increased local activity and corporate relocations.

Hurricane resilience, flood zone navigation, and HOA regulations vary dramatically across the county's diverse housing stock, from 1970s concrete block homes in Oakland Park to new construction towers in downtown Fort Lauderdale. These complexities require specialized knowledge that many agents develop within specific geographic niches, creating opportunities for targeted business outreach and partnership development.

Why Businesses Need Broward County, Florida Agent Contact Data

Service providers, from mortgage companies to home inspection services, find Broward County's large agent population creates exceptional referral opportunities when properly cultivated through targeted communication strategies. With 56,008 agents all maintaining active email addresses, businesses can segment outreach by geographic specialization, price point focus, or transaction volume, maximizing marketing efficiency in this competitive landscape.

The county's diverse property types and international buyer presence create numerous ancillary business opportunities, from luxury staging companies targeting waterfront specialists to insurance providers focusing on flood-prone areas. Having comprehensive agent contact data enables businesses to identify and connect with the specific agent segments most likely to generate qualified referrals and ongoing partnership opportunities.
