Welcome to Dave's World

Hey there! I'm David Bailey, a Floridian with a love for sharing stories, insights, and a bit of wisdom from my eclectic journey through life.


Born and raised in the Sunshine State, my life took an adventurous turn when I spent over two decades in Brazil.


There, under the vast South American skies, I not only taught English but also co-founded five schools, met the love of my life, and welcomed two incredible daughters into the world.


About This Blog

This blog is my digital home where I spill the beans on everything from my professional escapades to personal anecdotes that shaped who I am today. 


After returning to Florida to give my daughters the high school experience in the U.S., I've dived into the world of real estate.


As a loan signing agent, I've been part of closing over 1589 transactions, touching almost half a billion dollars in sales.


Now, with my real estate license, I'm here to guide folks through the maze of buying and selling properties in Florida.


What to Expect Here:

  • Professional Insights: From the nuances of real estate to the lessons learned from each transaction.

  • Life in Florida and Beyond: Tales from my life, reflections from Brazil, and everything that makes Florida unique.

  • Learning and Growing: I believe learning never stops, and I'll share what I'm currently exploring or mastering.

Why You Might Want to Stick Around:

You'll find my stories not just informative but hopefully engaging and entertaining. Whether you're here for tips on real estate, curious about life in Brazil, or just looking for some good old storytelling, you're in the right place.


Get Involved:

I update sporadically, as life and inspiration dictate, but I promise, each post is crafted with care. Feel free to leave comments, share your thoughts, or ask questions. And hey, why not introduce yourself?


Head over to the post titled Introduce Yourself and let's start a conversation.


Stay curious, stay connected,

"How's The Real Estate Market?"

Everyone who knows I'm a real estate agent always asks, "How's the market?" So, I started writing a weekly market update to keep them up to speed and in the loop. I also send it by email if you prefer to have it sent directly to you.
