We make donations of money, time, and resources to civic organizations, disaster relief funds, and local chapters of national health organizations. Giving back is the fabric of our culture.
WORK HARD. PLAY HARD.
Imagine a work culture that supports you in being the most successful real estate agent that you can be. Imagine a work culture where your colleagues and fellow agents willingly step forward to help you with contractor recommendations or a difficult transaction. Imagine a work culture that prioritizes you, your family, your professional success, and having fun. At Intracoastal Realty, it’s not a dream; it’s a reality.
Our company’s unofficial mantra is ‘Work Hard. Play Hard.’ And that is exactly what we do. After long days of working hard to facilitate successful real estate transactions, our agents and staff often enjoy office and company gatherings with good fellowship, food and fun. It’s just one piece of our amazing culture.

One of the reasons I love Intracoastal Realty is because of the agents. The agents collaborate and help each other unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. That’s what makes our culture so engaging and special.
~ Lisa WayneThe environment amongst the agents is very supportive. If I have a question that I need answered, I pick up the phone or send an email, and I get flooded with support and answers to those questions.
~ Ashley GarnerEverybody at Intracoastal Realty has a “let’s help everybody” attitude. We all want everyone to be successful because working together and supporting other agents is how deals get put together.
