About
Growing up as an Air Force dependent, I've been fortunate to live in diverse locations, from Mather Air Force Base in California to places like Japan, the Philippines, Germany, and several states across the U.S., finally settling in Riverview, Florida, in 2004 and Tampa, Florida, in 2019. My educational journey led me to graduate from Colorado State University and obtain two master’s degrees from Webster University.

My goal is to guide clients through every aspect of the real estate process, ensuring they feel empowered to make informed decisions. My specialties include working with seniors (50+), facilitating military relocations, navigating VA loans, and assisting with residential real estate, second homes, investment properties, and retirement planning. I'm dedicated to providing exceptional service to my clients and view them as more than just transactions—I consider them "clients for life," offering ongoing support beyond the closing process!

Ratings & Reviews

Tammy Lewis

Colette Hughes is an amazing realtor. I have known Colette for several years and she has helped me with the buying and selling of several homes. She is very knowledgeable in every aspect of the real estate process and makes things so easy. She shares that knowledge with you and explains everything to you in simple terms so that you know exactly what is going on at any given point in time in the process. She is the only person that I consider calling when I plan on buying or selling. I would not trust anyone else with my real estate needs. If you are looking for someone to help you buy or sell your home, Colette should be the only one you call. I highly recommend her!

Sara Hall

My family was relocated down to Florida from Virginia for my husband's job. As a family of 5 and new to the area, it was vital to have an agent who was really passionate about their career enough to accommodate our needs from start to finish as first time home buyers.

We had a very short time frame to find a home, with a very specific search criteria making this task a little difficult, I thought. However, from start to finish, Collette handled every step of the way with such ease. She continues to amaze us with her service, expertise, and just how much she genuinely cares for each client individually, even after the buying process was over. Not to mention her ability to be on the ball and step in wherever needed, she always goes the extra mile.

We would not have found our dream home without her! We are forever grateful and highly recommend having Colette on your side for whatever your real estate venture may be!
