Rachel Sartain Tenpenny is a highly respected luxury Realtor in St. Petersburg, FL, recognized for her intelligence, integrity, and exceptional results. As the Founder and Broker of The Tenpenny Collection, she leads a boutique brokerage that redefines what luxury means in Tampa Bay because she believes luxury is not a price point; it’s a level of service.
A lifelong student of real estate, Rachel grew up in a real estate family and earned her license in 2002 while completing her Master of Science at the University of Florida. Frustrated by poor communication from local Realtors, she decided to raise the bar. At six months pregnant and finishing her thesis, she earned her license and quickly became the #1 agent in her office, proof of her determination and drive.
In 2009, during the financial crisis, Rachel was recruited to open Keller Williams Realty’s first downtown St. Petersburg office. Despite no prior management experience, she led the new brokerage to become the city’s #1 office in sales volume within 18 months, a ranking it maintained for more than a decade. Over her career, she has managed more than 500 Realtors and overseen over $1 billion in annual real estate transactions, earning a reputation as one of Tampa Bay’s top real estate leaders.
Rachel’s clients describe her as “brilliantly strategic,” “calm under pressure,” and “the reason my home sold when no one else could.” One seller shared, “She treated my storm-damaged house with the same care as a million-dollar listing.” Another wrote, “We never would have gotten our dream home if Rachel hadn’t guided us through a bidding war with her backup-offer strategy.”
In 2023, Rachel founded The Tenpenny Collection to elevate the standards of leadership, education, and customer care in luxury real estate. Her firm specializes in waterfront homes, luxury estates, and high-end condominiums throughout St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the Gulf Coast.
If you’re searching for a luxury Realtor in St. Petersburg, FL who delivers results with professionalism, strategy, and heart, Rachel Sartain Tenpenny and The Tenpenny Collection offer the trusted partnership you deserve.
