Tiffany Hamilton is the founder and owner of Hamilton Realty Advisors, a top-producing brokerage headquartered in Florida’s capital city. She leads a firm of 25 proactive and trusted real estate advisors who make clients their priority and strive to exceed expectations.
Tiffany’s real estate career began in 2003 while she was a sophomore studying business administration at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. Before she even had her degree in hand, she was well on her way to establishing herself as a rising star in her nascent profession. When Florida’s real estate market collapsed during the Great Recession of 2007, Tiffany saw opportunity where others saw gloom. She educated herself on the intricacies of handling short sales and foreclosure sales, with the experience helping her develop into a more versatile real estate professional. She owned and operated a property management company for 16 years, has worked on large commercial and residential property transactions and is a licensed mortgage loan officer. Her real estate firm has enjoyed double-digit growth every year since opening in 2018, with total sales exceeding $100 million.
Having served for six years on the Tallahassee Board of Realtors (TBR) Grievance Committee, an ethics review board that holds her and her peers to the highest professional standards, Tiffany is a subject matter expert in her profession’s code of conduct. Her expertise in that area as well as her considerable knowledge of landlord-tenant issues, seller disclosure requirements, property
valuation practices, real estate transactions, lending procedures, and Tallahassee real estate market conditions make Tiffany an invaluable resource to real estate attorneys and their clients.
She gives her me and energy to groups that align with her commitment to helping people live beer lives: She served as chair of the TBR’s Equal Opportunity Committee, which promotes an understanding of equal opportunity and fair housing laws, and holds board positions with Oasis Center for Women and Girls and Big Bend Habitat for Humanity.
“I’ve been very fortunate since I made the decision to get my real estate license while still in college,” said Tiffany. “Being a Realtor has afforded me opportunities to help people achieve their goals, give back to my community and share my experiences and knowledge of real estate”.
