Aaron Wrathall, Realtor, BBA Real Estate
A recent graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Real Estate, Aaron first fell in love with the Florida Keys on a camping vacation in 2000. Having never seen such clear and turquoise water, he immediately fell in love with the area and looked forward to a permanent move to paradise. After a bit of travelling and a career with a commercial appraiser in Atlanta, Aaron came to the conclusion that an agent works just as hard regardless of where they are located. With this realization and a distaste for the 'frigid' Georgia winters, he packed up his belongings and headed South! Aaron is a licensed Florida Realtor and a 'Jack of all trades', helping the broker and other agents provide their clients with a pleasant sales or purchase experience. |
