The Early Days

Rogers Moore got into real estate in an unusual way. While searching for office space for his insurance business, Rogers met the owner of Flory Real Estate, a Sarasota real estate company which began in 1925. The owner, surprisingly, offered to sell the real estate company along with leasing the office space. An agreement was reached, and with no prior real estate experience, Rogers purchased the company, and introduced himself to the agents in the office as the new owner. That was in December, 1980.

A Changing Marketplace

After successfully operating Flory Real Estate for thirty-three years, Rogers recognized that the real estate market was rapidly changing, and a company with global alliances and contacts could offer a strategic advantage for real estate buyers and sellers. After careful consideration, he decided to affiliate with Coldwell Banker, a 100 year old real estate company with offices in 51 countries.
