Local Expert. Luxury Focused. Always Honest.

 

Hi, I’m Kirby Drake—a real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers South Tampa and a proud Tampa Bay local of over 20 years. I specialize in helping homeowners sell with strategy, clarity, and confidence. My focus is on listings—from luxury waterfront estates to townhomes and condos that didn’t sell the first time around.

 

My approach is simple: lead with honesty, provide options, and give every client the level of service I’d want for myself. If selling or purchasing isn’t the right move right now, I’ll tell you that—because I believe in building relationships, not chasing transactions.

 

As a listing specialist, I combine hyper-local market knowledge with strategic marketing that makes your home stand out—online and in person. From pricing and presentation to positioning and negotiation, I handle the details so you can focus on your next chapter.

 

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me outside—walking my pups, exploring a nature trail, squeezing in a workout, or planning my next travel adventure. I love this city, and I’m passionate about helping others feel at home here too.

 

Whether you're ready to list now or just curious about your options, I'm here as a resource—no pressure, just real guidance.

Refined Exposure. Global Reach.

At Engel & Völkers, marketing isn’t an afterthought—it’s a finely tuned strategy designed to capture attention and drive results. From cinematic video and custom print materials to targeted digital campaigns and international exposure, every listing receives a bespoke marketing plan crafted to highlight its unique appeal. We position your property where the right buyers are looking—locally and around the world—ensuring maximum visibility and impact.

Kirby is amazing! She sold my home so quickly, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her to list my home. Her knowledge is unmatched, and what stood out the most was how responsive and patient she was throughout the process.
