Blue Collar Home Group Consulting
Buy with Confidence in Tampa Bay
A blue-collar approach to home buying for hardworking families, professionals, and veterans who care about character, culture, and community as much as contracts and closing costs.
Serving buyers across the Greater Tampa Bay Region — with equal housing opportunity and non-discriminatory service for every client.
Your Buyer Pathway
Whether you’re relocating, upsizing, downsizing, or using VA benefits for the first time, we keep the process simple, honest, and grounded in reality.
1. Discovery & Budget
We map out your monthly comfort zone, not just a pre-approval number, and align it with real Tampa Bay price points and absorption in your target neighborhoods.
2. Loan Strategy & VA / Cash Planning
We coordinate with your lender, dial in VA or conventional options, and plan around rate, payment, and fees — not hype.
3. Neighborhood Fit
We look at commute, schools, trades access, lifestyle, and community culture, not just a pin on a map or a pretty photo.
4. Showings & Strategy
We walk properties with a blue-collar eye: structure, systems, future maintenance, and resale, not just staging and decor.
5. Offers, Inspections & Negotiation
We negotiate with respect and precision, protecting your inspection rights, appraisal, and long-term livability.
6. Closing & Move-In Support
From closing table to move-in, we stay hands-on with one day of labor and access to my truck and 16’ enclosed trailer if needed.

Sample Payment Snapshot
Use this as a rough planning tool. Final payments will depend on your lender, taxes, insurance, and HOA, but this gives you a starting point.

This is an estimate only and not a loan offer. Always confirm with your lender.
Built for Real People, Not Just Spreadsheets
We work with tradespeople, teachers, nurses, first responders, veterans, young families, remote workers, and established professionals who want a home that matches their values — not just their pre-approval letter.
- Blue-collar honesty, white-collar attention to detail.
- Respect for your time, your budget, and your goals.
- Guidance that balances lifestyle, commutes, schools, and long-term equity.
Veteran & VA Buyer Support
Tampa Bay has a deep veteran community, and VA buyers deserve a guide who understands both the loan and the lifestyle.
- Clear explanation of VA eligibility and timelines.
- Offer strategies that compete in mixed VA / conventional / cash environments.
- Property selection with an eye toward inspection, appraisal, and long-term stability.
If you’re using a VA benefit, we’ll protect it like it’s our own.
Equal Opportunity for Every Buyer
Blue Collar Home Group Consulting provides services to all buyers on an equal and non-discriminatory basis. We do not, and will not, discriminate in any aspect of a real estate transaction on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, familial status, age, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
Every client receives the same level of effort, respect, and professional representation, regardless of background or circumstance. If you’re ready to buy in Tampa Bay, we’re ready to work for you.
