Kate Ward ## REALTOR®, Florida Broker Kate has called St. Lucie County home since 1986, when her family relocated from Wilmington, Delaware to Fort Pierce. Growing up in White City gave her deep local roots and an insider's perspective on the Treasure Coast market. A graduate of Florida Atlantic University (B.A. in Education with ESOL & ESE endorsements), Kate spent years as a licensed teacher before earning her real estate license in 2018. She brings a teacher's heart and a strategist's mind to every transaction, breaking down complex contracts and timelines into clear, easy-to-follow steps. Since 2018 she has helped over 275 families buy or sell their homes, with more than $100 million in closed sales. Credentials Florida Broker CLHMS CDPE ABR SRES Specialties Waterfront and Barrier Island New Construction Luxury Acreage Relocation Peter White ## REALTOR® Peter has lived on Florida's Treasure Coast for more than 40 years and knows Vero Beach especially well. Before real estate, he built a home watch and concierge business in Indian River County, which taught him to notice the details most people miss: roofs, drainage, storm prep, and how a home holds up over time. He brings that same attention to every client. Outside of work, you'll find him fishing or out on a kayak.
