Our Story
Intrasouth Real Estate Advisory Services LLC, a licensed Florida Real Estate Brokerage Company, was formed in 2005 by its founder Jerry Lewless having spent his professional career leading sales and marketing efforts for public traded resort developers in the USA and the Bahamas. Initially formed as a real estate development and brokerage firm in Orlando, Florida, it has expanded into a full service operation specializing in maximizing revenue for residential and mixed-use real estate projects. Today, we have a new vision: allow our clients to leverage our extensive knowledge of the real estate markets in Florida, Mexico and the Bahamas to maximize their investment returns while achieving the ownership goals they have set for themselves and their families. We are a purveyor of lifestyles.
Specialties: strategic planning and execution of real estate business structures necessary to maximize our clients’ return on investment focusing strongly on yield management with an emphasis on sales, marketing, market data and acquisitions.
