We are pleased to announce the Merger of The Florida Home Store and Preferred Properties, GMAC Real Estate.

Pam Valdes, the Owner/Broker of the Florida Home Store feels the move is very positive for their clientele..."We feel that the location of the new office is invaluable, as well as the exposure on a national level. Preferred Properties GMAC is locally owned and operated, yet nationally recognized". "GMAC Real Estate also gives us the ability to offer our current clients the Premier Service Guarantee exclusive to the GMAC network." In addition, "I, along with Bob Kelly, will co-manage/co broker which will keep me continuously involved on the day to day aspects of the business".

Bob Kelly, current broker of Preferred Properties GMAC, further emphasizes that the merger is a very positive move for the office as well, because "Pam and her agents bring with them several years of experience and success in our local markets. We are always looking for room to grow. Not only is it beneficial to the office but to our clients as well"

Preferred Properties GMAC has been serving the real estate needs of Pasco and Hillsborough counties for over a decade and is well respected and represented as one of the leading real estate offices in the area. Preferred Properties GMAC is centrally located with direct highway frontage (an estimated 45,000 ears travel daily).

In addition, GMAC Home Services has divisions in real estate, relocation and mortgage and is a part of one of the world's largest and most successful financial services companies; GMAC Mortgage will also be housed in our building and available to our clients for their convenience in February of 2008.
