About Us
Compass Oak Realty — Strong Roots, Clear Direction
At Compass Oak Realty, our mission is simple: to guide our clients with clarity, honesty, and a deep understanding of the community we call home. As a husband-and-wife real estate team with lifelong ties to Volusia County, we are proud to serve our neighbors with the kind of dedication that only comes from truly loving where you live.
Rooted in faith, family, and community, we built Compass Oak Realty on the belief that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s a life moment. You deserve a team who knows the neighborhoods, understands the market, and cares about your long-term well-being.
🧭 Who We Are
A Local Team With Deep Volusia County Roots
Both of us grew up here in Volusia County, fell in love here as high school sweethearts, and built our life together in this beautiful part of Florida. Our shared history in the community gives us a unique, personal understanding of the area’s neighborhoods, schools, lifestyle, and growth.
From the charming historic streets of DeLand to the quiet neighborhoods of Orange City and the vibrant coastal towns nearby, this county has shaped our story — and we’re honored to help others begin the next chapter of theirs here too.
