Today, Vance Brinkerhoff and I are filled with profound gratitude and a deep sense of humility.
We have just been named by Apple News among the Top 10 Most Trusted Realtors in the entire state of Florida, a recognition that still feels surreal as we write this.
This distinction is incredibly meaningful to us, not because of the ranking itself, but because of what it represents: the trust that you—our clients, friends, and Vero Beach community—have placed in us over the years. It is a direct reflection of the promise we make (and keep) to every luxury home buyer and seller we have the privilege of serving:
Transactions that are seamless and stress-free
Guidance rooted in decades of expertise and absolute integrity
A level of care that treats your dreams as if they were our own
Yet, if we’re being completely honest, what truly sets our hearts on fire is something far greater than any award or accolade.
It’s the lifelong friendships that bloom from every closing.
It’s the holiday cards we still receive years later, the updates about children growing up in the homes we helped find, the invitations to anniversaries and birthdays long after the keys have changed hands. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.
Real estate, at its highest level, has never been just about properties. It’s about people. It’s about guiding families through one of life’s biggest milestones and earning the honor of remaining part of their story for decades to come.
To Apple News: thank you for shining a light on trust, ethics, and client dedication in our industry.
To every client who has ever entrusted us with your home search or sale: thank you. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
We don’t take a single relationship for granted—not one phone call, not one closing, not one friendship.
Here’s to many more beautiful homes found, sold, and cherished…
and to even more beautiful friendships that last a lifetime in Vero Beach and beyond.
With deepest gratitude,
Ben Bryk & Vance Brinkerhoff
