Pensacola Business Radio: Spotlight Episode: Erik Hansen, Hansen Real Estate Team and Golfing for a Cause

I am a true Pensacola native, and have lived only one other place in my entire life. In 2001, my wife (Angie) and I moved to Orlando to start college and life as a married couple. I jumped into real estate while I was still in college at the University of Central Florida in Orlando back in 2003. After a year learning the real estate business and finishing up at UCF, I joined up with Keller Williams Realty in East Orlando and began really building my business. I partnered up with a Team Leader which catapulted me to the top in a very short time period. In the summer of 2013, after being back in Pensacola since 2009, I jumped back into real estate. In January 2016, I rejoined Keller Williams Realty with my entire team. Since that summer of 2013, I have built a successful real estate team that consistently produces in the TOP 10 of real estate teams in Pensacola. We currently have a Buyer Team Manager (Brent Scott), Buyer Specialist (Renee Decker, Stephanie Oliver, Jordan Simmons), a full time Transaction Coordinator (Bethany Christian), Listing Team Manager (Angie Hansen), Listing/Marketing Assistant (Mikayla Holmes), and an Inside Sales Agent (Courtney Zamudio). The team approach gives a level of service unmatched by the average single agent. Our staff and Buyer Specialists have the skills and experience to handle all your real estate needs! In 2016, our team closed 120 transactions and are on track for 180 transactions in 2017.

Looking to purchase your first home or downsizing into a smaller home? We can help. Thinking about investing in real estate to build wealth and a retirement? We have the plan for you. Seeking an experienced team to sell your home using a proven marketing approach? We offer a full service listing and marketing plan to get your home sold quickly, with the fewest problems and for the highest possible price. Selling real estate is a science and we have the system in place to get you the most money for your home!

In addition to being passionate about real estate, I love giving back to my community, traveling with the family to explore new destinations, watching football with friends in the fall, relaxing on Pensacola Beach in the summer, and occasionally playing (attempting to play) golf! My wife, son Peyton and I attend Cokesbury United Methodist Church here in Pensacola. I am the current Golf Tournament Committee Chariman and we recently raised over $10,000 for three local charities. My wife, Angie, is on the Board at Cokesbury Children’s Center, where our son attends pre-school. I am also a member of the Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club, which raises over $50,000 for local charities every year at events such as HogFest in the Spring and Dragon Boat Festival in the summer. We have a ton of fun giving back to our community and want to teach our son the importance of faith, family and community involvement.

Husband and wife team Benjamin and Cherylyn Murphy operate as the primary cinematographer and photographer respectively and they love working alongside passionate businesses that are looking to connect with their audience.

When not out filming, Benjamin can be found flying his drone or exploring the outdoors either on foot or by boat.
Cherylyn’s passion for photography came about through her involvement in auto-cross and car shows with performance vehicles in her 20’s. Since then, her dedication to always be growing has given her the opportunity to create some amazing work for such brands as Better Built Toolboxes, MarineMax, and Wyndham Resorts. Cherylyn’s passion for growing doesn’t stop with her photography, she’s also actively involved in community organizations in addition to having a huge love for the outdoors.

Angel started working for Mr. Gonzales in the back of the store doing inventory. Within a few days, he was promoted to sales selling high end men’s apparel and quickly became a top salesman. Mr. Gonzales not only taught Angel the fundamentals of sales, but also how to treat customers with the outmost respect while providing the best customer service. Angel quickly realized that sales and good customer service was the life blood of any company. This started him on a journey to become one of the world’s greatest salesman.

Angel has had an extensive career in sales and has helped numerous companies achieve record breaking years. He also served 22 years in the Navy and retired as Navy Chief. Recently, he played a key role in launching a new company in the medical equipment field with former NBA star Jonathan Bender. He also achieved the top sales position with one of the largest companies in the world, which exceeds over 18 billion dollars annually and employs nearly 60,000 people.

Today, Angel Pomales has been mentoring under some of the top industry leaders and entrepreneurs in the country and is currently an executive leader in a company that is projected to hit over $800 million this year and has earned over $7 billion since its inception in 1992.

 He now not only has financial freedom, but is learning to have time freedom and devotes his life to helping others gain the tools and opportunity necessary to gain financial independence. Angel is dedicated to several charities, which find real solutions to monumental problems that interfere with daily, worldwide issues. Out of all of his achievements, his biggest success is being a man of faith and being a loving husband to his wife Maribel, and a proud father to his children Alexander and Nathalie.
