Clay County Based · Serving Jacksonville & Northeast Florida
Your New Home
Starts Here.
Based in Clay County, I know Northeast Florida the way buyers actually experience it — not by county lines, but by commute times, school zones, builder options, and what a neighborhood feels like on a Tuesday morning. Whether you're drawn to the growth along the First Coast, the master-planned communities of St. Johns County, or the more affordable pockets of Clay and Nassau, I help you find the right fit — and price your home to sell when you're ready to move on.

Client Experience
What Buyers & Sellers Are Saying
★★★★★
HomesByHogans walked us through every single step of our new Lennar build — from the design center to closing. We would have been completely lost without this level of guidance.
★★★★★
The CMA was incredibly thorough — far beyond what any online tool gave us. We listed $18K above what we planned to ask and sold in 9 days. The pricing strategy made all the difference.
★★★★★
As first-time buyers we were nervous about new construction. HomesByHogans found us a perfect D.R. Horton home and negotiated $12K in closing cost incentives we did not even know to ask for.
