  • Profile Biography
    Brandon Vinyard
    Owner / Broker
    Brandon Vinyard stands as the example to be followed when factoring the value of training, certification, education, and sheer determination in relation to real estate. As the rising star of bank-owned real estate management on the Florida Gulf Coast, his department’s sales
    performance accomplished an astonishing closing rate of one REO transaction every 32 hours during 2008, and the company is currently on target to exceed current volume for the next two years.

    As a result, Brandon Vinyard has become the number one volume sales agent on the Gulf Coast. Co-founded with his partner Jim Harrington, Sellstate Gulf Coast Realty has quickly grown into the fourth largest brokerage in Pensacola.

    Production levels of this degree are no accident. Brandon became fascinated and ultimately involved with property rehabilitation at an early age, and he soon realized the key to maximum financial performance would be found through hard work, education, and highly challenging industry certifications.

    He holds the rare distinction of Certified REO Specialist through the NRBA, or National REO Brokers Association.

    Fewer than 15% of NRBA members qualify annually for this coveted title.

    Additionally, Brandon Vinyard and his department of REO professionals are proficient in
    every major transaction platform utilized in the industry today, including RESNET and REOTRANS. Active involvement in both REOMAC and REOBroker compliment his extensive resume.

    His efforts traveling the country and focusing great resources to attend the foremost conferences and industry professional events have paid dividends. This long reaching networking has galvanized relationships with 40 distinctive REO clients throughout the nation.

    When he is not career training, attending conferences, or managing his team, Brandon stays busy raising his three boys, Braden, Trevor, and Ian, along with his wife Adrianne. When time allows, playing a round of golf is his favorite activity.

    Anyone having questions about the complexities of buying or investing in distressed
    properties, short sales, or foreclosure topics is welcome to contact Brandon Vinyard and his team of certified REO Professionals at Sellstate.

    Jim Harrington
    Owner / Broker
    Jim has been in the sales profession since 1973. He has been able to acquire a vast experience in selling over his career. From “Door to Door” and being the director of retail operations for a chain of retail stores, to licensed product sales for the NFL.
    He entered the Real estate business after some time in the new home construction business and later found his niche and then became specialized in foreclosures, first time home buyers and investors.  He is now one of the two Broker/Owners for Sellstate Gulf Coast Realty. They are responsible for helping banks liquidate properties throughout the Gulf Coast.
    Jim is married 32 years to his best friend, Lynne. They have 2 boys and live in Gulf Breeze. PJ, their oldest just received his masters in physics from the University of New Mexico. Boomer is attending the University of North Florida pursuing a Construction Management Degree.  Our family enjoys skiing, golf; riding our bicycles and watching the Steelers win 6 Super bowls.
