TAMPA, Fla. - July 29, 2025 - Engel & Völkers Florida announced today that real estate advisor Sue LaGree has joined its Tampa Downtown shop. With more than a decade of experience and annual sales exceeding $14 million, LaGree adds to the firm’s growing roster of top-performing agents.

“Leaving behind a successful legal career for real estate wasn’t easy—but it taught me to trust the work, stay curious, and always keep learning,” said LaGree. “Joining Engel & Völkers is the next bold step in that journey, and I’m excited to be part of a brand that shares my values of integrity, service and excellence. Tampa Bay is developing into the new Miami, and I’m passionate about helping clients navigate and capitalize on the opportunities in our rapidly expanding real estate market.”

LaGree began her career as a licensed attorney in Massachusetts before transitioning to real estate in Florida. Since then, she has earned several industry certifications—including GRI, SRS, LHC, CPRES and RSPS—and in 2021 launched her own brand, Wise Moves with Sue LaGree, which emphasizes smart decision-making and strong client relationships. Known for her clear communication and strategic guidance, she helps clients confidently navigate complex transactions.

“Sue’s transition from law to luxury real estate is both inspiring and impactful,” said Virginia Bond, license partner of Engel & Völkers Tampa Downtown. “She brings a high level of professionalism and precision to every transaction, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to build trust and long-lasting client relationships.”

Engel & Völkers Tampa Downtown is currently building out its new shop at AER Tampa, located at 523 West Cass Street, Tampa, FL 33602. The brokerage plans to hold a grand opening in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking an important milestone in its growth within the Tampa luxury market. In the meantime, the firm is actively recruiting top local talent to join its expanding team.

“Virginia and Aaron are ramping up their talent attraction efforts as they prepare for their shop’s grand opening,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “With their shop now in buildout, we’re excited to see them continue recruiting top advisors like Sue and expanding our footprint in the Tampa Bay area.”
