A Little Bit About Us

You’re special…that is why you should choose special people who know the market, who can analyze your options, anticipate your needs and – most important – deliver results.

We understand that clear, prompt communication is paramount in this process. You’re busy and you don’t want to spend time chasing after an agent. If you’re selling, you want prompt feedback about the last showing, and an update about how we’re marketing your property. If you’re buying, you want the reaction to your last offer or the results of an inspection.

THE Gail Spada TEAM is committed to our customers. We return telephone calls and emails promptly, and we do our best to answer every question. You never will have to ask twice.

Please meet our team of real estate experts. Beyond our professional credentials, you will see how our personal commitment to the community is an asset for our customers.

Gail Spada, TEAM leader

Gail Spada’s real estate career began in 1990 and it didn’t take long for Gail to discover her love for the real estate industry. In 2001, she began her real estate sales profession with Century 21 Alliance Realty in Spring Hill, FL.

In this age of ever-changing technology, laws and procedures, coupled with the quirky real estate market and the increasing sophistication of buyers and sellers, it is vital that real estate practitioners remain dynamic and capable of guiding their customers effectively.

Gail has worked diligently to stay on top of her game. Besides being a Florida Licensed REALTOR®, she has earned the following designations/certifications to include:

• GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute)
• ePRO (Internet Savvy Real Estate Specialist)
• AHWD (At Home With Diversity – One America)
• SFR

The GRI designation, in particular, is reserved for the best and brightest in the industry, which Gail has proven to be time and again. With the increased reliance on the Internet for real estate transactions, Gail also earned the ePRO certification, which means she has completed extensive training and is prepared to employ the latest online techniques and services for the benefit of her customers. To further show her commitment to the real estate industry, Gail earned the AHWD certification offered through the National Association of REALTORS®. Home sellers and buyers who work with a REALTOR® who has earned this certification know that they are working with a real estate professional who is trained to meet the needs of the county’s increasingly diverse population. It is that well-rounded training and experience, coupled with her intimate knowledge of the Hernando County real estate market, that enables Gail to deliver results to her customers.

Tina Schneegas, REALTOR®-Associate

Tina has been a Buyer Specialist with THE Gail Spada TEAM since 2004. Tina and her family moved from Chicago to Hernando County and feel that they have found the ideal location for their family. They think Spring Hill is a great place to be as it is centrally located to the Beaches of Clearwater and St. Pete, the Tampa Airport, and Disney World in Orlando. Tina’s husband, Mark, relocated their family’s electrical business, Suncoast Electric, LLC, to Florida looking for more sunshine. Tina and Mark have three daughters. Their oldest daughter, Krystal, is married and has given them a granddaughter, Madelyn, “who is the light of their lives”. Krystal’s husband is serving our country in the United States Navy. Daughters two and three, Kourtney and Karolynn are presently attending college. She loves that her parents also moved to Spring Hill from Tennessee in 2009. Tina says she sometimes wishes she had just a little more free time to sit on the beach and read a good book but her dedication has helped hundreds of satisfied buyers find their dream home in Florida.

Amanda Bestmann, Personal Assistant

Amanda also hails from Chicago and has been an integral part of THE Gail Spada  TEAM since 2003. When she’s not assisting the TEAM and making sure the office runs smoothly, Amanda’s husband, Ken, and their two daughters and son keep her very busy. Their oldest daughter, Brenna, enjoys horseback riding and participates in softball at the YMCA,  second daughter, Annika, plays kickball at the YMCA, and son Blake also plays T-Ball at the YMCA.  In her spare time,  Amanda loves to travel, play volleyball and racquetball, and also volunteers at church and a local farm.  Amanda is always willing to tackle new responsibilities in the office for the TEAM.  She says that the TEAM’s exemplary customer service will be able to help you with all your real estate goals.

Phyllis Burroughs, Bookkeeper/Assistant

Phyllis has been a member of THE Gail Spada TEAM since July of 2010 and says she truly appreciates what a wonderful TEAM Gail has.  She and her husband, Bill, moved to Spring Hill in 2005 from Erie, PA, and love their Florida lifestyle as they are both avid golfers.  Their children and grandchildren live near Erie and also in Colorado so they travel frequently and the flexibility Phyllis has with Gail is a real advantage.  Although she started in Gail’s office as her bookkeeper, she now also maintains her websites with current updated information while Gail is out successfully selling homes and finding the perfect home for buyers. Phyllis is constantly learning new skills and acquiring a better understanding of the world of real estate.  Recently, Gail and her TEAM found Phyllis and her husband the dream home they were looking for in Silverthorn and quickly sold their former home. Phyllis says “Call Gail and her TEAM if you are looking for the best!”
