| First
Venture has been helping Buyers and Sellers for over
25 years. Emory Thomas and Dave Tomeo
started the company as a VR franchise for the first
five years of its inception, but soon outgrew the need
for franchise support. The brokerage went on to
became the largest independent brokerage in
Hillsborough County. After 11 years it was
acquired by James H. White & Associates, the
largest business brokerage in Pinellas County. The two
companies became the dominant brokerage in both
counties for the next four years. James White
retired from the industry and the company reorganized
as First Venture Associates.
Doug Flowerree, the
Sales Manager of James H. White, became the
Broker/President and now owns the company. Dave
Tomeo still remains active as a "top"
associate and manager, along with many other
excellently qualified associates, see Our
Associates
