Title: Meet Cyndee Haydon: Tampa Bay's Real Estate Authority & Insurance Advocate | Real Estate Excellence Podcast Ep. 168

Introduction
As the host of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, I've had the privilege of sitting down with some of the top minds in our industry. But Episode 168 with Cyndee Haydon left me truly inspired. A powerhouse of knowledge, dedication, and leadership, Cyndee is the 2025 Secretary of Florida Realtors, a national insurance advocate, and a working Realtor with Future Home Realty in Tampa Bay. If you're buying or selling in Florida—or just want to understand how real estate truly works—you need to hear what she has to say.

Why Cyndee Haydon Stands Out in Tampa & Madeira Beach
Cyndee isn't just involved—she's immersed. With decades of boots-on-the-ground experience and high-level service on the NAR Insurance Committee and Board of Directors, she brings a rare blend of practical and policy expertise. Her work with flood and homeowners insurance issues has made her a go-to voice for Floridians navigating complex homeownership risks.

Quote: “In Florida, you better have a good Realtor… it’s about guiding, leading, and protecting—not just selling.” – Cyndee Haydon

How Buyers Benefit from Working with Cyndee
First-time homebuyers and second-home seekers alike face a tough climate in Florida—especially with rising insurance costs and strict underwriting standards. Cyndee educates clients on the real costs of ownership, from roof ages to flood zones, ensuring they're not just approved but prepared.

Quote: “If you get in the house but have to give the keys back when the insurance bill comes, I want no part of that.” – Cyndee Haydon

Why Sellers Trust Her
Cyndee has an eye for details that impact a sale—especially insurance disclosures, 4-point inspections, and roof permitting realities. She advises sellers early so they can close without costly surprises, connecting them with trusted roofers or escrowing solutions when needed.

Quote: “Every seller I work with, I tell them—get a 4-point inspection now, so we know how to negotiate.” – Cyndee Haydon

Host Insight: What Impressed Me Most
After 250+ podcast interviews, few guests have brought the level of commitment Cyndee does. She runs a full-time real estate business and devotes countless hours to legislative advocacy, peer education, and national leadership. Her tech-savvy mindset combined with deep empathy for homeowners truly sets her apart.
