About Rusty Shinault 

Born and raised in Southwest Michigan in a small rural town called Bangor, near Kalamazoo. My first exposure to Florida began with a spring break vacation during high school, which made me realize I wanted to live in the Sunshine State. I graduated high school in 1980 and moved to Lakeland, FL, in January 1981. Despite a brief 22-month stint in Redlands, CA, Lakeland has been my home ever since.

 

Extensive Customer Service Background

My professional journey started in customer service, where I gained extensive experience working for top companies such as AAA Auto Club, Watkins Motor Lines, Landspan Inc, Browning Ferris Industries (BFI), and Stericycle Inc. Over the years, I honed my skills in customer service, logistics, process development, and IT development. My roles ranged from customer care, dispatcher, and customer service manager to facility manager. In 2003 I decided to pursue a different career path where I could be my own boss and take control of my success.

 

Journey into Real Estate

In 2004, I embarked on a new adventure by enrolling in real estate school, amidst three back-to-back hurricanes. I passed the Florida Real Estate Exam on my first attempt in January 2005. Initially, my real estate career was challenging, as is often the case for new agents. However, I soon found my footing, and I started to thrive and grow my business in the Lakeland Real Estate Market. The 2008 real estate market crash was a turning point for me, leading me to become a Foreclosure Specialist. I became a trusted source for foreclosure properties, helping numerous clients navigate the tough market conditions.

 

Nineteen Years of Experience

Reflecting on my 19 years as a full-time realtor in Lakeland, FL, I can't imagine doing anything else. This career has been the most rewarding and enjoyable of my life. I have met incredible people and formed lifelong friendships. Helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate dreams has been my passion, and I am dedicated to continuing this journey as long as I can. The flexibility and fulfillment this career provides are unmatched compared to my previous corporate roles.

 

Looking Forward

The future excites me, knowing that many wonderful people are waiting to become my lifelong friends through real estate. My commitment to helping clients find their dream home in Lakeland, FL, and Central Florida as a Market Expert remains unwavering. I strive to make the home-buying and selling process smooth and enjoyable. I look forward to many more years of serving the Lakeland Florida and Central Florida communities with dedication and passion.
