Broker Biography
Introduction
My name is Greg Karlson and I grew up here in Highlands County. A true Floridian born in Fort Lauderdale in 1966 where my father Dr.Richard Karlson an orthodontist moved his practice to Highlands county in the 70's where we lived at the cattle ranch he purchased in 1960 which now includes citrus groves/nursury trees. This was truly a paradise for young children to grow up in the country and enjoy nature, fishing and hunting. Dad/Dr.Karlson grew his practice from one office in Lake Placid to building one in Sebring and having one in Avon Park. Ironically my real estate office now in Sebring is located on the same property he had his practice located on US 27/Hammock Rd next to Sonny's. I graduated from Florida Southern with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Finance and immediately obtained my real estate license in 1990 where I worked with some of the highest accredited professional in the industry who had the designations MAI and CCIM. As my passion for listing and selling real estate grew I opened my own real estate office in 2004 ERA Advantage Realty. Upon opening the we started with 4 associates and $10 million is listings and by 2005 we a achieved $35 million in sales with one of the highest per transaction average sale price in the county. As of 2015 we have changed our name to Advantage Realty #1 Greg Karlson, LLC. now have 33 associates specializing in residential, agriculture, commercial and rentals/property management. My wifes law office(Karlson Law Group/Pamela Karlson Attorney) located in my real estate office has really complemented all of our property divisions.
