Hi, I’m Christopher Morrissey. The Nature Coast is an outdoor paradise for people of all ages and a great place to call home. It’s got the old town Florida feel with all of today’s conveniences. I moved to the Tampa Bay area in 2017 and have had the opportunity to travel for work throughout the state of Florida. That’s how I discovered the Nature Coast, it only took one visit to know this was the place for me and my family. I explored Citrus, Marion and Levy counties and selected Beverly Hills to move to in 2022. I recently made a career change from a business owner as a mechanical contractor since 1997 to a real estate agent. I possess over 25 years of experience working with and educating homeowners on their heating and air conditioning systems enabling them to make informed decisions. I developed the ability to listen, rather than just hear what people say. My knowledge of the construction trades and operating a business provides me with a unique approach to working with my clients whether they are buying or selling. I joined Exit Realty Leaders because of how they differentiate themselves in the real estate market. Together with the resources that are in place, we can achieve our goals that are set forth with my clients. If you are looking to purchase a home or sell your property, contact me to see what options are available to accommodate your needs.

Being born and raised in Citrus County has allowed me to see all that the area and its surroundings have to offer. When my mom joined EXIT when I was just under 2 it gave me plenty of time to be in the office and realize that I wanted to show others the true beauty of the area. Fast Forward 20 years to now and I couldn't be happier here at EXIT in my hometown. I can be reached at 352-586-0138 or darinshaag@gmail.com

I have a background in technology, sales and photography and my ongoing training has provided me with even more exposure to cutting edge technology and tools to effectively communicate and best serve my clients.

I am a FAA licenced Drone pilot and I include this service along with professional photography and videography for all of my clients if permitted by aviation laws. I also do Videography and use videos for advertising and showing off the highlights of your property. According to MLS statistics, homes with aerial images and videos sold sixty eight percent faster than homes with only standard images! I am proud to be a part of the team at Exit Realty Leaders, a franchise of Exit Realty Corp which has been owned and run by the Wade family since 1999. I quickly learnt how important it is to have a good support system in this business. I've surrounded myself with a network of trusted professionals to ensure that no matter what question or situation may arise, I'll have the best solution for my client. I grew up in Rhode Island and then moved to Connecticut where I met my wonderful husband. We chose to move to Florida so that we can enjoy the natural beauty of this area all year long. When I'm not at work, you may find me hiking a nature trail taking wildlife photos, walking my two dogs, or kayaking down any one of the beautiful spring fed rivers in this area. To find out how you can own a piece of the Nature Coast just give me a call, text or email.

Robert Dyson III loves all that Citrus County Florida has to offer and decided to make it his permanent home in the summer of 2014. One of the main reasons why he made the jump from the northeast is because the weather allows for year round outdoor activity. When Dyson is not energetically helping his clients find their dream home, you can find him in one of two places. Either on one of the twenty golf courses found throughout the county practicing on his golf swing or on his motorcycle taking in the breathtaking scenery found on the rolling hills and winding back roads of Citrus and Marion Counties. One thing Dyson always stresses to clients who have not yet seen this area is “This is not your typical Florida, you always think Florida is just flat”! Dyson has worked in many customer service jobs throughout the years but states being a Real Estate Agent is by far the best experience he has had in public relations. Purchasing a home is one of the most important decisions people make in their lives and Dyson always goes that extra mile to help make that dream come true!

I moved from southeast Michigan to Citrus County along with my husband in the summer of 2019. We moved for many reasons, mainly to be near family, but also to take in all that the Nature Coast has to offer. We both enjoy the outdoors; the weather here is perfect for that. Being near the water is also a big bonus for me. I love wildlife as well! So, between the weather, water and wildlife, for me, there is no better place to be. I chose EXIT Realty Leaders because I want to be associated with quality and integrity. Their dedication to the industry as well as their associates is exemplary. My goal is to provide customers with the best possible experience when buying or selling their next home. From first time buyers to those wanting to downsize, and everything in between, I want to help them find the perfect home.
