About Us
My name is Jeff Copeland and my wife and I have lived in St Pete since 1996 (more specifically, in Shore Acres and Venetian Isles since 2006). We were flooded in Tropical Storm Eta in 2020, and again (in addition to wind damage) during Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024.
As a local real estate broker, property manager, and contractor with experience dealing with insurance claims, construction, property development, and real estate sales, I am uniquely qualified to assist St Petersburg homeowners with everything from getting a homeowner’s permit approved, to preparing and submitting a substantial damage package for flood repairs, to helping analyze the sell versus repair versus teardown versus raise decision so many of us are being forced to make.
