Rich Shelley

I'm Rich Shelley, founder and team leader of Team Shelley and a co-founder of 1st Choice Collective — brokered by eXp Realty — and a Florida property specialist who came up swinging a hammer before I ever held a listing agreement. With 30+ years of renovating and flipping Florida properties and 12+ years as a real dealmaker, I know how to tackle complex issues, overcome obstacles, and handle every detail to get deals closed.

These dock-front homes and active-lifestyle communities make the Tampa Bay Gulf Coast the best address under the sunset — and the most complex transactions to close. At Team Shelley, we're the deal makers. Plenty of licensed realtors claim to know real estate, but that knowledge means zero in this business if you're a deal breaker — and too many came to Florida for the same reason you did: to retire and play. We proudly serve you from 5am to 10pm with no delays in communication, and when active issues surface in our contracts, we're up at 5am every day until everything runs smooth.

We're generous with our clients in every way, because we know how good it feels to be taken care of — and our network is everything to us. From Tampa Bay's deep-water dock fronts to golf-cart communities and quiet coastal towns statewide, our team covers all of Florida, and we help families arrive at the life they came here for.
