Patricia A. Moser

Realtor / President / GRI

The University of Florida brought me to Gainesville in 1976. Absolutely loving the area I decided to stay and moved to the country between Alachua and High Springs in order to have my horses. In 1977 I began my Real Estate career specializing in farms and acreage and by 1979 opened my own brokerage firm known as Horizon Realty.

After 29 years in the business, I still love the land and working with people specializing in marketing single family homes and new construction, rural subdivision development and farm sales. Hard work, knowledge of the area, continuous education in real estate and finance, and dedication to the community are the factors that have proven successful.

As the Broker and owner of Horizon Realty, I enjoy helping the salespeople find their clients the perfect property in our area and guide them through the process of buying and closing. I work closely with each agent to develop a marketing strategy and advertising campaign for every listing that Horizon Realty markets. Through my experience and education as a graduate of the Realtor's Institute, holding a certified Building Contractor's license, specialty courses in development and constant ongoing education, keeps the sales staff up to date with the latest information and marketing techniques available.

My involvement with the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors includes serving on the MLS Executive Committee and the Professional Standards Committee, as well as a past member of the Board of Directors. I believe that being active in the Board helps keep me and Horizon Realty up to date with the latest technologies, real estate legislation and laws as well as a thorough understanding of the professional standards which Realtors are bound to.

My husband, Jeff and my two children, Stephanie & AJ and myself still live between Alachua and High Springs. The entire family is dedicated to showing Quarter Horses, youth sports including football, basketball, softball, volleyball, BMX racing and tennis. Stephanie attends Santa Fe High School and AJ attends High Springs Community School.

Horizon Realty and I look forward to assisting you with all of your Real Estate needs.

Robin Boyd

Realtor

Some of you may know me as Robin Register or Robin Barry.  I am a licensed realtor at Horizon Realty of Alachua, Inc.  Horizon Realty prides itself on being the largest full-service real estate team in the Alachua-High Springs area.  We serve a large market area including the City of Gainesville and Alachua County as well as Union, Columbia, Gilchrist and Levy Counties.

Alachua is my hometown.  I am a 1985 graduate of Santa Fe High School, and a graduate of Santa Fe Community College.  As a teenager, I was involved in athletics and school activities.

Before I started my career in real estate, I was employed at the University of Florida for over 15 years.  I have made many contacts and have met a variety of people at the University of Florida, and have learned a great deal about the city of Gainesville.

As a resident of Gilchrist County since 1993, I have obtained a vast amount of knowledge of the small towns that make up this community, and of the surrounding counties, including Columbia, Dixie, Levy and Suwannee. 

My husband Terry and I are very involved with our children, who attend Bell  Middle/High School.  Terry has coached baseball and football for the Gilchrist County Recreational Authority and for Suwannee Valley Leagues, Inc.  I have chaperoned numerous school functions and field trips, and have assisted Terry with his coaching responsibilities.  When we are not involved with our children's school activities, you can usually find us on one of the many Florida beaches.

I am a member of the Gainesville Alachua County Association of Realtors, Dixie-Gilchrist-Levy Board of Realtors, Florida Association of Realtors, and  National Association of realtors. 

As a homeowner, I understand how overwhelming the process of purchasing or selling real estate can be, as well as how exciting it is when you have accomplished homeownership.  I am excited about assisting clients in this process.

Please feel free to contact me if you or someone you know is interested in buying or selling real estate!

James A. Doyle, Jr.

Realtor

I have been a resident of Alachua County for 20 years.  After a successful 22 years in the corporate world, I am applying those same skills in teh field of real estate.  When I first began in real estate I was told "You get out of it exactly what you put into it".  That put things into perspective.  Work hard for you all the time.  That is why I chose Horizon Realty.

Our market area is a highly desirable locale.  With the close proximity of both the Suwannee and Santa Fe Rivers, we are an absolute outdoor mecca.

I can help you find your dream property - be it a single family home, mobile home on acreage or just vacant land where you can build your own dreams.  I am an outdoorsman who not only knows where the best oak hammocks are but who also appreciates the tree lined streets of the area towns.

Give me a call and let me show you what a little hard work and knowledge can do for you.

Dee Edwards

Realtor

Having a great life is something I have always treasured. A significant part of my happiness has come from establishing a “sense of home” in my community. I relocated from Chicago, where I spent my spare time seeking out treasured old homes and restoring their character. I love the process of discovery. Matching needs and wants with what is available is very fulfilling to me. Setting you up with exactly what you want is the challenge I seek.

Real Estate is hard work, but putting the right match together is what makes the effort rewarding. The process of finding and committing to a major purchase in a new community, offers challenges. My clients become my neighbors. Their children are a part of the teams I coach (Volleyball & Basketball)and the people I (and my 2 dogs, Dozer & Gunnar) see when shopping and enjoying all that North Florida has to offer. Knowing my neighbors brings me comfort, and working for Horizon provides me with the tools to make the process of selecting a new home or property one that is fun and simple for my clients.

I’ll work with you to make the process an easy one - where you understand your options and have the freedom to design what you can proudly call “home.”

Eileen Gilroy

Realtor/Million Dollar Producer

I have been involved in the Real Estate Business for 20 years. As an assistant to a Broker Builder for 8 years, I learned the basics of the business from behind the scene. In 1988 I became licensed so listing and selling was natural. “This is the fun part -matching prospect with the perfect property.”

A good salesperson gathers data and lines up properties to show based on the criteria you give them. A great salesperson listens intently, analysis the criteria, adds knowledge of the area a little emotion and offers all alternatives. “Living in this area for 27 years helps a lot.”

Realizing that buying a home or property is a large and infrequent investment, I am not pushy. “Buyers & Sellers don’t need the added stress of a pushy salesperson. Once presented with the facts and options, I trust them to make the right decision.” Whether buying or selling, put knowledge and insight to work for you. When you’re happy with your real estate experience, everyone benefits.

Horizon Realty and I look forward to assisting you with all of your Real Estate needs.

Judy Leonard

Realtor

My career in real estate began in 1973 while I resided in Illinois.  I became a “lifetime” member of the Illinois Association of Realtors Million Dollar Club.  Through continuous education I earned my Graduate of Realtors Institute (“GRI”) as well as the Certified Residential Specialist (“CRS”) degrees.

I relocated to Orlando in 1979 to join Tom Hopkins CHAMPIONS UNLIMITED as a National Marketing Director and promoted seminars on “How to Buy and Sell Real Estate” throughout the State of Florida.  In 1982 I received my Florida Real Estate license and joined the Greater Orlando Area Association of Realtors and then marketed the Orlando area for more than 20 years.  After purchasing property in Alachua County, I truly loved the lifestyle, land and quaintness that this area has to offer so then decided to relocate here.

Horizon Realty is a strong local company here in Alachua County.  The longevity of this company in the community gives an edge in the market since it has been an icon in the local industry since the 1970’s.

As an avid horse lover, having raised and shown several Paint Horses on the National and World levels, I feel that I can find the perfect home that would be suitable for both you and your horses!

As your Realtor, I will provide you with the utmost service that one could give, guaranteeing you my honesty, sincerity and most of all “results”.

Debra Sparkman-Lewis

Realtor

I have been a Realtor with Horizon Realty of Alachua, Inc. for 15 years. Prior to that I have 17 years experience in sales marketing and construction of new home developments, both in Texas and Florida. I have sold homes from models as well as from floor plans only. In my 15 years with Horizon Realty, I have covered a vast area in sales from Gainesville and Alachua to surrounding cities.

I am a mother of four children. This has stimulated an involvement with the community in many areas. I have served as President of the Woman's Club, and President of the Pop Warner Football League for two years. I have also had the pleasure of being involved in Florida's First Bambino World Series.

I feel that the combination of work, sense of family, and community make me sensitive to the needs of others, like myself. Combine this with patience and experience, and you will find me to be one that does not quit until I get the job done.
