LAKELAND - MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC announces the addition of two independent real estate companies, expanding its reach in the local market.

In early January, Mary M. Myers Realty Inc. of Auburndale and C.S. Edwards Realty Inc. of Lake Placid and Sebring became part of MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC.

"Bringing these Realtors and their listings on board reinforces our presence as a real estate powerhouse," said Andy Hernandez, president of MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC.

The real estate company promised expansion but didn't necessarily expect these acquisitions so soon.

Kevin Jones, president and CEO of MIDFLORIDA added, "We're very pleased with the direction in which the company is moving - growing to 700 listings and nearly 70 Realtors in just one month. MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC is well on its way to becoming one of the largest real estate companies in central Florida."

The acquisition allows MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC to develop its presence in Polk and Highlands counties.The company currently has five Polk County locations and two Highlands County locations.

C.S. Edwards Realty Inc. will relocate its Sebring office to the MIDFLORIDA Southern Counties Corporate Office, located at 5805 U.S. 27 N., while maintaining the Lake Placid location at 15 N. Main Ave.

"Joining MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC allows us to be on the forefront of offering the listing to closing concept - a concept I think customers will enjoy and appreciate," said Carol Edwards of C.S. Edwards Realty. "This change is a vehicle which will propel our real estate business forward in a positive and beneficial manner for consumers, whether buyers or sellers, and for agents and brokers."

Mary M. Myers Realty Inc., a family-owned company at 304 E. Park St. in Auburndale, will become the fifth site in Polk County for MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC.

Plans are for both Jack Myers of Mary M. Myers Realty and Edwards to continue serving their customers - many of which are long-standing relationships - and also serve as recruiters who will work to increase the presence of MIDFLORIDA Real Estate Sales LLC in Polk and Highlands counties.
