A Minneapolis-based brokerage is catering to Minnesota residents heading south for the warmer weather by opening its first office in Florida.
The Star Tribune reported Edina Realty established its Florida presence in Naples, roughly an hour’s drive from the Minnesota Twins’ spring training grounds in Fort Myers. The new office will work with buyers and sellers in communities along the state’s Gulf Coast between Marco Island and Sarasota, and a second office in Fort Myers is under consideration.
“A number of our agents who winter in Florida or spend significant time there asked for this expansion,” said CEO Greg Mason. “They want access to Edina Realty’s technology, products, network and services when they’re working with clients in the Sunshine State as well in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.”
Edina Realty is an affiliate of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and is a subsidiary of HomeServices of America. This is Edina’s first expansion since its 2021 acquisition of Hegg Realtors in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
