Harry Bass-Terpstra grew up in Watertown a small, snowy city in upstate New York close to Canada and just east of the great lakes. While growing up he spent plenty of time helping his family with their investment properties. Being able to see so many different homes and all their features he came to appreciate the real estate market.
Throughout school Harry excelled in math and planned on graduating college as an engineer; after getting some hands-on experience in college he realized that engineering was not an exciting enough environment for his personality. Harry decided that a guaranteed high paying job should never be of any value to anyone if it does not bring them happiness as well. Although others did not agree he decided to take a gap year to figure out what kind of career was worth investing thousands of dollars into.
Harry had worked in the restaurant business since he was fourteen. After deciding to change career paths he decided to go back and start cooking at two restaurants; after a short period of time in this fast paced environment Harry was promoted to management at one restaurant and server at the other. Being raised by a businessman and a teacher productivity was always key; just by applying his good character, his attention to detail, and morale to his work ethic in the workplace Harry brought return customers and increased productivity. He learned a lot about communicating with others, how to keep them happy, and at the same time making sure everything is managed properly behind the scenes.
Two and a half years later after the gap year Harry realized his passion for homes and helping people. He moved up to New York for the summer and helped his grandfather manage his properties. After learning about taking care of the guts of a home Harry moved back to Florida so he could become licensed to sell some of the newest real estate in the country.
Harry has been coming down to Port Saint Lucie since 2001 and watched the area grow like a wildfire. Beautiful, old and new homes are always appearing on the market at prices right for all types of home buyers. Harry fell in love with the modern homes in the Treasure Coast area and knew he had to move his fiancé and himself back to Florida. This diverse and fast paced real estate market is irresistible and he is ready to start helping you in any way possible.
