Colin Stafford
has enjoyed a wide variety of careers and experiences in both the UK and the USA.
He is a UK-qualified accountant with more than 30 years experience in
working with blue chip companies, initially as a line manager in senior
financial roles and more recently as a management consultant.
His
consultancy focus was on business change projects, often arising from
mergers, acquisitions, restructuring or information technology
developments.
He began to invest in real estate in the late 1980s and
bought his first Disney-area vacation home in 1999. He now
lives in Florida and helps the clients of Perfect Florida Homes to
understand the financial and property management issues related to
holiday / vacation home ownership.
He has demonstrated his belief in the vacation home concept by
purchasing holiday homes himself: by 2008 he had invested
individually or in partnership in more than twenty properties in short term
rental communities / developments. Clients therefore benefit from the know-how of individuals with
practical "hands on" experience of after-sales operations and enough
confidence in the market to invest their own funds in Disney-area real
estate.
He
is especially keen to ensure that out-of-state buyers make investment
descisions based on a full understanding of both the risks and rewards
- he and his business partner are noted for advising potential clients
to turn down a purchase if it is not in their best interests, even
though that results in a short term loss in commission.
