Erik Hansen   – Realtor / Team Leader & Golf Committee Chairman
Hansen Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Gulf Coast — Cokesbury Church Golf Tournament

 

A little about me and my family: 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 4 Buyer Specialists (Cathy Paulsen, Rusty Mack, Renee Decker and Jane Oberbeck), a full time Transaction Coordinator (Carly Murphy), Listing Coordinator (Angie Hansen), and a part time Runner (Janice Paulsen). 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 2015, our team closed 90 transactions and are on track for 150 transactions in 2016.

 

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.

Dr. Julian Pittman

Julian strives to make the audience believe the impossible is truly possible. His creativity keeps the show fresh and ensures that performances are cutting edge. His desire to perform began at a very early age. When working for Colonial Williamsburg, he gained his first exposure to entertaining live audiences through dance, music, and juggling. Continuing with his passion for juggling, Julian began competing and was a four-time finalist and International Silver Medalist Juggler. He has performed for a wide range of different clients including dinner theaters, school and library shows, civic and fraternal organizations, restaurants, resorts, fairs, and festivals. It takes dedication and determination, along with a great passion for performing to “juggle” a career in the arts, while working hard to earn college degrees. Yet, that is exactly what Julian set his sights on accomplishing. He earned a B.S. from William and Mary, an M.S. in Veterinary Medicine from VA/MD – College of Veterinary Medicine, and a Doctorate from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine.

In college, she was Captain of the Raider Rhythms Danceline, performed in many musicals including Anything Goes, Cabaret, Crazy for You, Guys and Dolls, Man of La Mancha and The Will Rogers Follies, and danced professionally as a Lady Barracuda Dancer for the Barracudas Arena Football Team. Also, she was honored to have performed in Miami, New Orleans, and Houston with the Swerve Modern Dance Company. Along with her professional performances, Melody was drawn to a career of teaching and coaching dance in the public education arena. She holds an A.S. in Dance Technology; an A.A. in Dance Performance; a B.A. in Communication Arts, Anthropology, and Musical Theater Dance; an M.E.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership.
