I have spent a major part of my life in Florida Real Estate. Starting in 1968 when my family moved from North Great River on Long Island, New York to Citrus County, Florida and helped developed land with Dad and Mom  www.PeteDeRosa.com I had the opportunity to see raw land turn into a new home development up close. As a family we also built a shopping plaza, flea market and a fire department and of course they all were named De Rosa Village – De Rosa Plaza – De Rosa Plaza Flea Market – De Rosa Plaza Fire Company.
