Bobbie Brennan on Faith, Relationships, and Serving Military Families in Real Estate
Real Estate Excellence is the go-to authority for buyers and sellers looking for top-tier agents across Northeast Florida. In Episode 109, we sat down with Bobbie Brennan, now with Pursuit Real Estate, who has built her real estate business on faith, community, and exceptional service to military families. This article uses insights from the full episode transcript at tracyhayespodcast.com/109.
A Realtor with Deep Roots and Military Heart
Bobbie Brennan didn’t come to real estate for the money. She came to serve. Raised in Orange Park and married to a Navy veteran of 28 years, she brings heart, hustle, and firsthand military knowledge to every client interaction. Her journey began in retail and pharmaceutical sales, where she learned to listen, build relationships, and earn trust—skills that define her success in Northeast Florida real estate today.
What sets Bobbie apart is her long-standing commitment to military relocation and property management. She knows the pressures military families face, often moving cross-country or internationally on short notice. "A lot of our customers are overseas... we're very familiar with how your orders can get changed at the last minute," she explains【15†source】. Her experience allows her to serve clients through FaceTime, Skype, and phone calls, guiding them through VA loans, property laws, and rental transitions with complete confidence.
Why Relationships, Not Cold Calls, Drive Her Success
"My plan is not about money. It’s about relationships," Bobbie states clearly【15†source】. Unlike many agents who chase FSBOs or expired listings, she builds business through genuine conversation and long-term connections. Whether she’s chatting with fellow moms at the ballfield or calming a nervous flyer on a plane, Bobbie’s natural authenticity earns trust.
"I handed out 13 business cards before we landed," she shares of one flight conversation. It’s that personal touch that makes Bobbie unforgettable—not aggressive marketing.
Local Knowledge That Translates to Real Results
Bobbie’s expertise spans Jacksonville, St. Johns County, and Clay County—all high-demand areas with military and family-driven housing needs. Her personal experience living in Mandarin, Clay County roots, and deep ties in the military community give her an unmatched advantage.
Her knowledge of VA loans and military protections is critical for buyers moving in and out of NAS JAX or Mayport. She even educates clients about homestead exemptions that many agents miss.
Real Stories of Impact

Faith in Every Step – After losing her brother, Bobbie found healing and purpose through service. "He gave the gift of time... he didn’t have a lot, but he gave everything to others," she reflects【15†source】. That same spirit defines how she shows up for her clients.
