About Julia Vakulenko
By education I am a computer engineer. And part of
my work experience is having done financial planning
in the Northern Virginia, Washington DC area. In my
native Ukraine I worked as a systems analyst for the
Dept. of Health in the city of Zaporozhye.
I realized that what I enjoy the most is working with
people rather than working with computers and programming
languages. Thus, I became a real estate agent in Tampa.
My financial planning experience came in handy and I
use my computer skills now for research: to help my
clients on other needs they may have outside of real
estate.
In this site you will find information about Tampa,
buying and selling real estate, relocation, school information
and various tips for both home sellers and home buyers.
You will be able to view all properties currently listed
with the Mid Florida Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
- that's every home in the Tampa area that has been
listed for sale by a real estate agent. I can help you
to purchase any of them even if they were listed by
a company other than Tampa4U.com Realty, Inc.
The Tampa4u Team
Your encouragement, support, and feedback helped me
tremendously and I greatly appreciate it. It also helped
me grow. I now have a team of professionals helping
me: Tampa4u Team - "out-of-the-box" thinkers
that produce extra-ordinary results. Each and every
team member have been trained to provide you with the
same meticulous and personalized service you have come
to expect. Thanks for all your support and continued
patronage.
Stop by our NEW office in downtown Channelside. Coffee
is on us:)

I
love life, I love people and I love Tampa so I feel very fortunate
to be a part of the Tampa4u team in a profession that combines
all my passions.
I’ve
devoted my life in the Midwest as a wife, a mother of two
beautiful daughters
and as a registered nurse for 20 yrs. caring for medically
dependent adults and children. As an avid golfer, I enjoy
sunshine, nature and active year round outdoor living and
Tampa has proven to be the haven that best fit my lifestyle
needs.
My
experience in nursing has carried through in my duties as
a real estate agent in that I devote all my efforts in the
best interest of my clients to make sure that all their needs
are met during this very important process in their lives.
Helping individuals and families find their dream home has
been very fulfilling to me and has truly been my mission in
life.

Conrad Valencia
Cell:
813-514-7777
Conrad@Tampa4U.com
Conrad
came to Tampa with only $500 specifically to join the Tampa4U
Team. He was so determined he was willing to live under the
I-275 bridge to make this dream happen. Conrad is a Civil
and Industrial Engineer by education. He had worked as an
executive for Intel prior to stints with residential real
estate. Inspite of the achievements Conrad have amassed in
the corporate world, he felt the corporate environment was
too structured and stiffling for his ambitions and personality.
He started various businesses but his timing was all wrong
and found himself being dragged to the corporate world because
of necessity rather than choice. He was working for Capital
One when he found out about the opportunity in Tampa. Without
even packing, he headed for Tampa.
He is our "Mr. Deal Maker". Known throughout the
New Development communities, Conrad takes pride in getting
the best deals for his clients. Don't worry if you can't understand
a word he's saying. He thinks in Hebrew, makes hand gestures
in Italian, and speaks in tongues, but it's all about the
deal and he makes it all happen right before your very eyes.
Real Estate is his passion and is eager to help people even
if they're suspects rather than prospects. A word of warning:
don't let his movie-star looks deceive you... he is all hard
work without the attitude.

Eliane Balleza

Eliane@Tampa4U.com
Eliane
is Tampa4U's first client! (She is also our Feng
Shui expert)
I have been involved in real estate since the late 70’s.
My husband and I have been buying, selling homes and raw land
ever since. In the process, I have also been involved in property
management and continue to do so today.
I
truly enjoy working in the field of real estate because it
is a very dynamic field with limitless possibilities. I love
seeing what interior decorators do to models homes in various
price range and how they make it come to life.
My
father was a diplomat so as a young child I have traveled
extensively and been exposed to many cultures. This has made
a tremendous impact in my life in how I interact with people.
I have a deeper appreciation and understanding of people in
general. To this day I’m still in touch with friends
I met at a very early age that are living in different parts
of the world.
In
the mid seventies through the mid eighties, my parents owned
and operated a restaurant in Northern Virginia. I also helped
in the operations. This is where I learned the meaning of
“customer service” and how it is crucial to any
business.
The
other field I enjoy very much is cosmetology. There is nothing
more rewarding than seeing someone’s face light up because
you brought out the beauty in them through a make-over and
showing them how simple it is to do at home.
When
I’m not involved in work, my passion is my family. I
have been married for over 28 years and my husband and I have
two sons ages 27 and 24. We also have two dogs, three turtles,
and a parakeet. I love animals!
Beside
my family I also have many good friends that I keep for life.
I draw strength from sincere and caring friends. In return,
I wake up everyday and try to make someone laugh and smile
to help make this world a better place to live in.

Jurga Haynes
Cell:
813-507-9109
Jurga@Tampa4U.com
Jurga
has the unusual knack of turning any adverse situation into
an adventure. I remember when Jurga actually missed a turn
while “getting to know” one of her clients. Once
she realized she had missed the turn, she quickly handed her
client the map and in a playful manner, said “Well,
you might as well make yourself useful since you made me miss
my turn. Here is the map and here is the address, give me
the directions and make sure we do not miss the turn again”.
This turned into one heck of an adventure and one of the most
pleasant buying experiences for her client. Jurga’s
native city is Kaunas, Lithuania. She tries to visit there
at least once every year, so do her a favor and start learning
how to read a map because her next sale might be you and every
sale gets her closer to making that trip back to Lithuania
to visit her family.
On
a more serious note, Jurga has a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Economics and is probably one of the hardest working members
on the team. She accepts calls from clients anytime and has
been known to return the favor at times by calling her clients
at anytime to give them the most up to date information. She
really does have a contagious laugh and melt even the toughest
listing agent. She is dedicated to working for you and protecting
your best interest with your home buying experience.
As
your Real Estate Agent, you can expect nothing but first class
service with every aspect of the buying process, just remember
to learn to read a map.

Olga Buchi

Olga@Tampa4U.com
I
got into real estate because I truly have a passion for it.
I hold a Masters Degree in Business from Moscow University
and my career in real estate has roots with my many years
of work for title / escrow companies and also banks. Back
in 2003 I began buying, building and selling homes and I wasn’t
satisfied with the level of service that I got from several
different agents. I thought to myself, “Not only can
I do a better job, but also I really enjoy all this real estate
stuff.” I obtained my first Real Estate license nearly
four years ago and I’ve been providing my customers
with great service ever since.
I’ve
lived in cold and rainy climates before like Moscow, Chicago,
Washington D.C. and Seattle. So living and working here in
Tampa is a dream come true for me. I understand how it feels
to be here from out of town looking for your little piece
of paradise to call your own. I first discovered Tampa4u as
a homebuyer and I didn’t want to work for any other
company.
I
try to make shopping for your home an enjoyable experience.
I can offer you solid expertise and also streets smarts to
help you avoid common mistakes and pitfalls. I’m very
detailed oriented. I’m good at catching the little tricks
that listing agents sometimes try to get away with. I have
many-a-times save my clients because of my attention to detail.
I have a photographic memory, which aids me in the aspects
of real estate such as contracts and also negotiation. Also
when it comes to standing up for my clients and pushing for
what’s in their best interests I am very assertive.
You can count on me for thoroughness and diligence and I’m
not afraid to tell you my opinion.

Realtor
by day, Realtired by night. I help with the web and marketing
for Tampa4U. I'm also the guy who receives
the comments and complaints about the site - if any. If that
weren't enough, I was also drafted as the Tampa4U.com Realty
broker.
My degree is in Economics and Engineering but worked as a
graphic artist for 30 years. I did photo illustrations and
digital composites for companies like National Geographic,
Discovery Channel, and Kodak. Later on, I worked as a webmaster
for various startups. After a couple of stints with Dot Coms,
I decided to freelance and "retire" in Florida.
(The "REAL" work starts after you retire:) I realized
back then that there was a need for service oriented, information
driven, and responsive Realtors in the Tampa Bay area. So
Julia and I started Tampa4U. We have the hardest working team
in the Tampa area. We have to... our survival depends on it.
My hobbies, other than photography, didn't really relate to
art or real estate. For 15 years I bred and showed Japanese
Akitas and Shibas. That's why if I ocassionally growl, it's
the influence of being around dogs for many years... which
comes in handy when dealing with nasty listing agents.
