Brenda Rider, P.A.

Family has and always will be number one to me. The care, concern and commitment I feel for my family is what I carry through into real estate. Taking family and clients under my wings and making sure that they are well cared for is what makes me most happy. My motto of “Going the Extra Mile” for my customers is well known, and thirty six years of satisfied customer service is proof of that.

I was born and raised in the small South Georgia town of Valdosta, just north of the Florida border. I always knew I would end up in Florida (after a few other places along the way.) After thirty six years, my family and I are still here, with absolutely no plans of ever leaving.
Fifteen years ago my life changed after being diagnosed with breast cancer. But with the love, care and concern of my family, friends and the medical staff of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, I am happy to wear the title of Survivor. So believe me, “Going the extra mile” is a reflection of both my personal and business life.

I am a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Greater Tampa Association of Realtors (GTAR), and have served as a Director for the Women’s Council of Realtors and recipient of the “Outstanding Civic Achievement C. Ed Ownings Award” in 2010, and a Certified Negotiation Expert. I am a very active member in our community, my church and I am especially proud of my Volunteering and Fundraising for the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute over the years.

Real estate has been my career for thirty five years now, and I have certainly seen many, many changes. With that said, I am blessed to have had a career that I continue to love being a part of. My husband Ben, our sons and grandchildren have always been my greatest supporters. Living in Florida, having a wonderful family and loving what you do, it doesn’t get better than that!
