A graduate of Florida State University with a degree in business management, Jude brings eight years of real estate experience supported by a background in entrepreneurship and pharmaceutical sales. His transition into real estate and fine home development was shaped by hands-on experience alongside his father, Jean, a respected real estate professional. Through building, purchasing and living in properties throughout the region, he developed a comprehensive understanding of construction standards, zoning considerations, valuation strategy and long-term investment performance.
Serving customers from Marco Island to Cape Coral, Jude provides detailed market intelligence, including location analysis, pricing strategy and negotiation guidance. His team was ranked No. 9 by RealTrends Verified in 2025 among small teams in the Fort Myers market.

He is a licensed broker and an active member of the Royal Palm Coast Realtor Association and the Realtor Association of Sarasota and Manatee. Fluent in Creole, he serves a diverse and international clientele and also provides representation in commercial transactions for banks and credit unions.
Jude’s mission is to serve families throughout Southwest Florida by building lasting relationships, educating with integrity and guiding each customer toward generational wealth through real estate. He approaches every engagement with a wealth-minded perspective, viewing each purchase or sale as an opportunity to protect equity, strengthen financial positioning and create enduring value. His relationship-driven philosophy ensures that each customer receives thoughtful guidance aligned with long-term objectives rather than a singular transaction.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Jude is devoted to his wife, Demetria, and their children, Eden, Titus and Micah. He enjoys Florida State football, pickleball, fishing, volunteering and active involvement in his church community, as well as supporting his daughter’s cheer activities and youth flag football.
