What do Joe Manausa and WFSU have in common?
Joe Manausa is a Tallahassee native who graduated from Leon High School, earned his bachelor’s degree at the United States Military Academy at West Point, served in the army and then returned to his hometown to raise a family and start a business.
He worked in the real estate industry for more than 20 years before branching out and starting his own company. Instead of structuring his brokerage like a typical real estate agency, which consists of independent contractors working on commisison, Joe built his business the same way any Fortune 500 company would; with salaried employees who work as a team in highly specialized departments.
With his background in Computer Science and a passion for statistics, he ensures that every employee in the company is educated on the latest information that will impact the real estate market. Like the programming you hear on WFSU, Joe’s blog provides relevant, easy-to-understand information about the local market to Tallahassee residents, which is why it’s ranked as the #1 real estate blog in the nation.

Why Work with Joe Manausa Real Estate?
Did you know that there are more than 2,000 licensed real estate agents in Tallahassee? Did you also know that the majority of these agents only sell 6 homes per year, meaning real estate is something most local agents only dabble in?
When it comes to buying or selling your biggest investment, you need to educate yourself. Find a brokerage with agents who sell hundreds of homes per year, understand the local market and know both the TBR and NAR contracts like the back of their hand.
You don’t want to lose the deal, or leave money on the table, due to an inexperienced agent.
3 Things that Make Joe Manausa Real Estate Unique
While Joe’s salary-based business model sets him apart, there are 3 key components to his company that benefit sellers and buyers.
- Digital Marketing: Over the past 10 years, the real estate industry has changed, but many agents are advertising homes the same way they did in years past. In the old days, when selling a home, the process looked like this:

However, the internet has changed the real estate market, and sellers who aren’t working with agents experienced in digital marketing are leaving money on the table.
Joe Manausa’s multi-channel marketing efforts start advertising the home across the internet (before it officially goes “live”), which brings MULTIPLE buyers to the table, ensuring sellers get top dollar for their listing.
- Home Buying Workshops (at no cost): Whether you’re buying or selling, the market has changed. What may have been the case when you purchased your home 10 years ago, is likely not accurate today. Contracts, costs and loan products have been adapted over the years, which is why Joe Manausa Real Estate offers free home buying workshops throughout the year.
Whether you’re a first time home buyer or you just haven’t bought a house in a while and want a refresher, you can contact us today to register for the class and learn the latest about buying a home in Tallahassee. - Track Record of Success: If you’re planning a vacation, you check Trip Advisor, if you’re looking for a new restaurant, you check Yelp. So, if you’re buying or selling a home, you should be checking for reviews of the agency online. Joe Manausa Real Estate has more 5-star reviews than all other agents in Tallahassee COMBINED. You’ll find them on Google, Facebook and Zillow, or scroll down to see them below.
