Christine and John Hubbert have become a real estate tag-team to be reckoned with thanks to the unique lenses they have seen real estate through over the years and their driving passion to make a difference for Lakelanders.   

Christine first acquired her real estate license in 2015 when she was a regional property manager for Publix, overseeing more than 100 of the grocery giant’s shopping centers. She also developed a thorough understanding and appreciation of finance during her time working at MidFlorida Credit Union.

Her husband John earned his chops working in sales for a Lakeland contractor, where he gained a passion for helping commercial and residential customers achieve their dreams.

He obtained his real estate license in 2019, when the couple launched Team Hubbert, which has now grown to a team of 16 agents, renown throughout Central Florida for utilizing trusted local connections to ensure every client’s needs are met in a timely and professional manner.

“Our connections and ties to the community guarantees that we have the marketing, lending and contracting professionals available to our buyers and sellers when it’s business as usual or when the unexpected occurs,” Christine says.   

Team Hubbert’s recent transition in brokerage to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices – Florida Properties Group has granted them access to some of the most advanced real estate technologies available, making the process as simple and personal as possible for their clients, no matter their level of experience.

The Hubberts’ Top Tips for Buyers in Today’s Market

1 – Find a realtor you are confident in.

This is the person that will fight for your best interests and give trusted recommendations to best handle each task. Experience is paramount, as each home presents its own unique obstacles to navigate.

2 – Get pre-approved with a local mortgage lender.

This gives the best insight into your purchase power, with consideration of a down payment and monthly payment that you’re most comfortable with.

3 – Don’t be discouraged by the rapidly-changing market.

New homes are available every day; for every deal that doesn’t pan out, there will always come a property that you’re sure to love even more.

What’s the difference between what being a real estate agent is really like and what you thought it was going to be like?

The world of real estate is fast paced, but rewarding. For those who expect a standard work schedule, the task may seem daunting. Meeting future homeowners’ needs requires flexible hours and an open line of communication throughout the process of home showing, inspection, and finalization of a purchase or sale. Adhering to each clients’ particular tastes can be challenging, but handing the keys to a satisfied customer is exhilarating each and every time.
