My Story
I’m Barrett Henry – a broker associate with REMAX Collective and leader of The NOW Team, based in the Tampa Bay area. I’ve spent over two decades in real estate and sales, and I’ve built my business on a simple idea: give people honest information and let them make their own decisions.
I’m not the agent who’s going to call you every day or pressure you into a decision. I’m the one who’s going to send you the data, explain what it means, and tell you what I’d do if it were my money. Some agents sell homes. I help people make smart moves.
I chose Tampa Bay deliberately over a decade ago and I’ve been immersed in this market ever since – tracking how neighborhoods evolve, which corridors are growing, and where the real value is hiding. Combined with 23+ years of real estate experience, that gives me a perspective you won’t get from Zillow or a national call center. I know which streets flood, which builders cut corners, which neighborhoods are appreciating, and which ones are overpriced. That context matters when you’re making the biggest purchase of your life.

When I’m Not Selling Houses
Real estate is what I do, but it’s not all I am. When I’m not working with clients or writing market reports, you’ll probably find me:
- At the pool – My pool is my happy place. Florida weather means I get to use it year-round, and I take full advantage.
- At the beach – We live in Tampa Bay for a reason. The Gulf beaches are 30-45 minutes away and I’m out there as much as I can be.
- Traveling – I love exploring new places. Whether it’s a weekend trip or something bigger, getting out and seeing new things keeps me sharp.
- Anything outdoors – Hiking, kayaking, grilling, fishing, or just being outside. Florida’s got no shortage of ways to spend time in nature.
I mention this because I think it matters. You’re trusting me with the biggest financial decision of your life – you should know I’m a real person, not a corporate headshot with a script. I live here. I play here. I’m invested in this community just like you are.

How much does a real estate agent cost in Tampa Bay FL?

For buyers, the seller often covers the buyer’s agent commission as part of the transaction. Barrett Henry will explain exactly how compensation works during your initial consultation – no surprises, no hidden fees. Call (813) 733-7907 for a free, no-obligation conversation.
Do I need a realtor to buy a house in Florida?
You are not legally required to use a REALTOR® to buy a house in Florida, but it is strongly recommended. A licensed buyer’s agent protects your interests during negotiations, helps you navigate inspections, title searches, and closing requirements, and often catches costly issues that unrepresented buyers miss. In most Florida transactions, the seller pays the buyer’s agent commission, so buyer representation typically costs you nothing out of pocket. Barrett Henry provides full buyer representation across the Tampa Bay area. Read the First-Time Buyer Guide
What should I look for in a Tampa Bay real estate agent?
Look for an agent with deep local market knowledge, a track record of transparency, professional designations, and a communication style that matches yours.

Do they have a team for marketing, transactions, and support?
