Tina Newby

More than a Realtor, I'm an Advocate for you

What do Clients Say?

I've used Tina in the past to purchase a home, but this time I needed her help selling a property. My priority was selling the house as soon as possible during a time when most people are not buying. Not only did we reach a price point I was happy with, we were under contract in 12 days. While most agents are cutting the asking price as properties sit on the market for longer and longer, 12 days was blazing fast. Her results are no accident, she brings an intense level of effort each and everyday. Tina is my go to real estate agent, and I can attest to the fact that she is just as capable as a buyer or seller.

Lynne Sambuco

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Tina Newby. We had to sell our home quickly and around the holidays. Tina stepped in and made sure the process would be stress free for our family. Starting with having a cleaning team come in before the open house. she also always worked with my schedule for showings which was extremely helpful. Tina was able to sell our home quickly and made sure we received the right offer for our home.

I would not hesitate to go with Tina if I had to pick my listing agent again. She did everything right from the beginning. Our expectation was well-managed. We thought our last selling experience was great, but Tina definitely raised the bar! And why is that? You can expect high quality work from photography to videography showcasing your property that will literally wow you, especially with her Realtor Can Cook YouTube channel! What also makes this experience extraordinary is Tina's attitude. For our introduction, I remember when I reached out to her and left a voicemail at 8a, and she returned my call within 10mins. No matter how packed her schedule is, she will make time for you when you need her!

Working with Tina and The Tina Newby Team was a fantastic experience. Tina helped us craft a game plan for the sale of our home and guided us through the entire process start to finish. Tina was highly knowledgeable, accessible and compassionate through the entire deal. I never felt rushed or that I wasn’t her complete priority. Tina and her team were attentive to all our needs. I really felt she made the entire transaction seamless. I couldn’t imagine a harder worker or better advocate. I highly recommend her.

Tina tries to not only find people the home of their dreams, but works to find the house that
becomes their home, their safe haven, the place memories will be made in.
Real estate expertise aside, Tina is a foodie at heart. She works to share the benefits of a
property by showcasing the kitchen, often the focal point of a home. She does so by hosting a
cooking show in the client’s home to illustrate the kitchen dynamics and ease of preparing a
family meal there. The show gives prospective homebuyers a better idea of how the kitchen is
set up and how they may be spending a great deal of time in their new home. The show is called
“Home Cooked Real Estate” and it is featured regularly on Tina’s social media platforms. Her
shows have become so popular that this unique approach to home sales has been highlighted
by many local media outlets such as Fox 13 and Bay News 9, “Great Day Live,” the Tampa Bay
Times, Land O’ Lakes Magazine and others. The icing on the cake, as the saying goes, was when
her cooking show received a national spotlight in Realtor Magazine!
Tina has also launched a web program called Tina Talks, a fun and engaging program that
showcases and highlights local businesses in the community. In the programs she shares what
others are doing in the area on a platform that continues to grow in popularity. Tina covers the
gamut of local business expertise and shines the spotlight on others doing great things in the
Tampa Bay region.
Family is important for Tina and she and her husband enjoy quality time with their two beautiful
daughters. The entire family is involved in the cooking segments by helping as Tina’s sous chefs,
lighting crew, and videographer. In homeschooling her daughters, Tina prides herself on giving
them new and unique experiences to learn from. She knows the importance of education and
identifies with her clients who are parents in understanding what they may be looking for in both
a home and a community. Tina is also aware of the needs of seniors, offering ideas to those
clients regarding changes that go beyond a sale such as guidance on aspects of downsizing and
potential financial windfalls they may not have considered.
In addition to cooking, Tina loves her three dogs, travel, and growing orchids. She has quite the
green thumb with over twenty varieties of plants and counting in her garden.
