Metro Development Group Shows Up Big at Realtor Connect 2026
Yesterday, the Tampa Bay Builders Association hosted its annual Realtor Connect at Armature Works, and Metro Development Group served as Presenting Sponsor. For three hours, The Gathering Room filled with the region’s top realtors and builders, all there to connect, swap stories, and build the relationships that keep Tampa Bay’s housing market moving.
A Booth Realtors Couldn’t Walk Past
Our team brought serious energy to the floor, and it showed. We transformed our space into a full lagoon-living escape, complete with cabana lounge chairs, a thatched tiki umbrella, and a “Lagoon Living” backdrop straight off the shores of the lagoon. By the end of the event, we had collected over 200 realtor business cards, a clear sign of just how much traffic our booth pulled in. We leaned into our partnerships with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Tampa Bay Rays to make it happen, with Captain Fear and DJ Kitty stopping by for photos alongside game-day giveaways that drew people in for conversation and a taste of the Metro spirit.
Congratulations to Our Raffle Winners
No Metro event is complete without a great raffle, and this one delivered. Congratulations to:
Gisele, who won two Club tickets to the Buccaneers vs. Browns game on September 20th, Christine, who won four Baldwin Group Club tickets to the Rays vs. Padres game on August 30th and Nicole, who won a $500 MetroLagoons gift card.
Part Building Relationships That Build Communities
Realtor Connect is more than a networking event. It is a chance for us to say thank you to the realtors who help bring our communities to life, one referral and one conversation at a time.
A huge thank you to the Tampa Bay Builders Association for another great event, and to every realtor who stopped by to say hello. We’re already looking forward to next year.
