Tampa, FL (February 23, 2024) – The Stephen Gay Group, a prominent sales force in Tampa Bay's luxury real estate market, proudly unveils its rebranding as the Gay & Glaser Group. This transformation marks a strategic move to showcase the combined strengths and extensive experience of its founding members, Stephen Gay and Katie Glaser, serving the Tampa Bay community.
The team has consistently ranked as one of the top real estate teams in the Tampa Bay region. Together, they have collectively sold over $800 million in real estate since inception. Stephen Gay, the team's leader, is a long-term resident with over 20 years of experience and has unparalleled expertise in navigating the dynamic real estate market.

Katie Glaser, a fourth-generation Tampa resident and granddaughter of the late Red Pittman, Editor of Tampa Tribune, brings a unique perspective and extensive connections to the team. Her father, Robert Glaser, CEO of Smith & Associates Real Estate, further adds to her real estate lineage.
"Growing up in the industry, I have been fortunate to be mentored by the industry's finest. Over the past seven years, I have honed my skills under Stephen's guidance and am honored to join forces with one of the top teams in the Bay. Our unique understanding of the market and extensive expertise will bring a dynamic offering to our clients as we forge ahead into the future,” says Glaser.
