Hello my name is Teresa Loomis.  I am a retired Healthcare Executive with a passion for IDignity.  IDignity is a not for profit that assists people in recovering their legal IDentification so that they may be active in life once again.  Without an ID you can not have a bank account, enroll your child in school, obtain housing, a job and many, many other things in life.
As a former board member, and current ambassador, it is my hope that everyone legally deserving of an ID ....has one.  Through IDignity, the volunteers and staff actively participate in awareness initiatives that assist in ensuring immigration laws are withheld. We become more aware of signs of human and sex trafficking so that we can aid in the diminishing of this heinous act. 
 - 
Please walk side by side with me and support IDignity who assist all people in maintaining and re-establishing their dignity.

As a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, I help people manage their finances to make sure they are on track to achieving their long-term goals.

I founded Around The Clock USA, Inc., a tour operation and transportation business that has been operating since March 2002. Around The Clock has earned an A+ with the Better Business Bureau and five stars with TripAdvisor.
 In searching for ways to provide outstanding service, I sit down with a computer or smartphone and take on the role of a passenger searching for transportation online. This technique has taught me that our customers want simplicity, reliability, and security. It has also shown me what people coming into Lake Nona see: enormous progress, growth, and features like Lake Nona Medical City and the sports complex. That led me to New York, where I sat down with our app developers and started bringing my dream to life. That dream was a ride-share provider just for Lake Nona—with the highest standards of quality, reliability, and security, and with affordable prices. 

Melanie Miller- President, Promotional Manager

Melanie’s foray in the industry was launched as a Marketing & Promotional Manager for NFL athletes in the early 2000’s. She has guided many former NFL athletes to fortify their public image, including 1982 NFL MVP, Mark Moseley, as well as NFL All-Pros Ken Harvey and Brian Mitchell. (Melanie previously served as the Marketing Director of the Washington Redskin NFL Alumni, booking over 1,000 Washington Redskins’ athlete appearances.)
 

Melanie’s focus today has expanded to assist fellow entrepreneurs and small business owners to best present their products and services to gain critical mass, via targeted marketing campaigns that will create more customers, increase profits and exposure. 

For nearly a decade, I have been strategizing and designing for creative projects and have worked at some of New York’s top firms in the industry. Most of my time is now spent on brand strategy, creative direction, design, social media content creation and/or management and production across all platforms for clients of my own. I am the owner of Stella Frances Creative, a marketing and design agency that specializes in digital, video and print marketing for major new development and redevelopment projects in the commercial, multi-family and residential real estate industry throughout the United States.

I started in insurance in 2016 with my wife Amy Zaki-Busby after working in the trucking industry and seafood industries for 13 years. Prior to that I was in the US Army with a combat tour in Iraq in July 2004 until Oct 2005 as a Motor Transport Operator. 

Being in the Insurance industry has been extremely rewarding for me because, as a broker I am not working for some large corporation, but rather I am working for the customer, helping them find a quality policy that fits their individual needs at an appropriate price. I personally specialize in Commercial Insurance products such as Commercial Auto, Excess, General Liability, Errors & Omissions, D&O Coverage, Inland Marine, etc, but, we have staff that specialize in personal Auto and Home, to include renters, personal umbrellas and so on. 

Our offices and staff pride ourselves on ensuring our customers are knowledgeable of what they are getting so there are no surprises down the line. This is what sets us apart from our competition.

As a Refinance Specialist he completed 'The Vermillion Consulting Creative Equity Training Program' as well as 'Xinnix Edge' training. With personal and professional experience in ALL THREE of these areas, Michael is considered an EXPERT Realtor®, and he takes pride in helping people:

• List their home for sale with methods for achieving the highest purchase price on it
• Find fantastic readily available homes while negotiating the best price for your purchase
• Make sense of investment property transactions, including flips and rentals
• Search for vacation homes to purchase for personal use and/or rental income
• Upsize or Downsize homes when life dictates different personal needs

If you are expecting exceptional customer service look no further. Michael believes that not every Realtor is a good Realtor, and some can be dismissive at times. Therefore, he makes it a professional point to make sure your Real Estate experience is the best that it can be. Referrals of your family and friends are the highest compliment he can receive, and he works to earn them from you.
