Walking homeowners through exactly how a first call with Jeffrey Funk works, when considering when a seller should list their property.

Blog Author: Renee Funk | Co-Founder The Funk Collection, Speaker, Trainer

Most sellers have hesitancy to call a listing agent because a homeowner does not want to feel “sold.” Most stereotypical sales agents rush the first call with a salesy approach. Both of those approaches create unnecessary pressure, and fractured trust.

At The Funk Collection, the philosophy is simple. What is best for the customer? Not what is best for the agent. Not what is driven by sales pressure. The seller should feel safe, not sold. The seller should feel heard. Not talked AT. The professional listing agent leads with curiosity,…

More Than a Landmark in Windermere

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

It sits right in the heart of downtown Windermere. You've likely driven or walked past it once or a hundred times and it still anchors the town. Windermere’s Town Hall has that effect. Familiar, steady, quietly central.

It’s the kind of building that feels like it has always been there. Which is true. But not in the way most people assume.

What’s easy to miss is how much history is layered into that single structure. Not in a dusty, behind-glass way. In a lived-in, still-in-use way. The kind of history that keeps showing up because it never really left.

Here are five things that tend to surprise even people…

What locals say matters most when considering a move to Clermont

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

People often ask what living in Clermont, Florida, actually feels like, especially when comparing it to other Central Florida cities. Part of the answer shows up right away in the landscape. Rolling hills, lakes, and open views give Clermont a sense of familiarity that sets it apart from much of the region.

When people take the time to explore Clermont, it often feels less like a discovery and more like a place that already feels like home.

What does day-to-day life in Clermont feel like?

Daily routines in Clermont are shaped by access and convenience rather than constant…

How Windermere Quietly Became What It Is today

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

It’s a little like driving past the house where childhood memories were made. The street feels familiar, but things look different. Bigger. Fuller. More layered.

Looking back at Windermere’s early days brings that same feeling and raises a simple question worth asking:

What did real estate here actually look like in the beginning?

A Town Before the Town

In the late 1800s, Windermere was barely a village. Fewer than 100 people lived here, and the railroad had only just arrived. There were no subdivisions, no tidy blocks of homes, and no clear sense yet of what the town might become.

When Loving Disney Turns Into Imagining Life A Little Closer To It

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

Some people visit Walt Disney World once and move on. Others keep coming back. Year after year. Trip after trip. At some point, the thought shows up quietly. What would it be like to live closer?

Closer to the parks. Closer to the magic. Close enough that Disney fits into everyday life, not just vacations.

For many Disney fans considering a move to Orlando, it starts there. A gentle pull that doesn’t quite let go. Living near Disney World changes the pace. Fireworks don’t require a hotel stay. Park days don’t feel rushed. So, what comes next?

How One Terra Verde Owner Found Clarity and Closed With Confidence

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

If you own a short-term rental near Disney World, you know the market feels different today.

Inventory is higher.
Buyers are pickier.
And unless a home is fully renovated, many owners worry their property will sit with little movement.

You might be asking yourself the same questions other out-of-state owners ask us every week:

  • Should I hold and wait for the market to change?
  • Should I sell now and preserve the equity I have built?
  • How do I make my home stand out from all the other Disney vacation rentals on the market?

You are not alone.
This Terra Verde sale is a…

A time-capsule conversation that highlights Windermere’s small-town charm, local history, and enduring sense of community

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

In the fall of 2018, Jeff sat down with former Mayor Gary Bruhn for a conversation about the community they both proudly call home. It felt like a casual chat at the time. Today, on the heels of Windermere’s Centennial, it reads like a snapshot of a town that has evolved without losing the character that makes it unmistakably Windermere.

Seven years after that interview, Windermere continues to honor its roots while moving intentionally into its next chapter. The names and buildings have shifted, but the spirit is the same.
