Brent Sharp, Port St. Lucie broker and valuation expert

Who is Brent Sharp?

The short version, in one place. Documentation of the valuation work is available on request; ask Brent about it on the first call.

What did Brent Sharp do for lenders and investors?

A lender or investor holding a mortgage, a foreclosure, or a portfolio of homes needs to know what each one would sell for, from someone with no reason to inflate it. That is the job Brent did on the Treasure Coast more than 12,000 times. Each assignment was a broker price opinion or property valuation: an inspection of the property inside and out, a comparable-market analysis, a condition assessment, notes on the repairs a buyer would price in, and a current or prospective value with the reasoning written down.

The work covered single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and vacant land in both counties. It included extensive residential asset valuation for Kondaur Capital, and Brent is a Clear Capital provider and Clear Market Expert (CME). The client on the other end reviewed every number. That is the habit he brings to a homeowner's kitchen table: a number he can defend, with the sales behind it.

How does Brent Sharp price a home?

The same way a lender needed it priced: from evidence, not from hope or an algorithm. In plain English:

1. Start with the house, not the market

   Size, lot, age, and condition, plus what has been updated and when: roof, air conditioning, windows, kitchen, baths. In lender work that meant walking the property inside and out. For a homeowner it starts with the address and a conversation about the house.

2. Find the sales a buyer would compare

   Closed sales, not asking prices: similar homes, nearby, sold recently. A sale in a different kind of neighborhood is not a comparable, even when the square footage matches.

3. Adjust for every difference

   Each comparable is adjusted to look like your home. If it had a newer roof, a pool, or water behind it and yours does not, its price comes down to match. The adjustments are written out so you can check them.

4. Check the competition

   Active listings show what a buyer will see next to your home this week, at what price, and how long those homes have been sitting. They are context, not proof of value.

5. Land on one number and show the work

   The comparables, the adjustments, the condition and repair notes, and one number with the reasoning behind it. The repair notes tell you what is worth fixing before you list and what is not.

What he does not do: start from the price a seller hopes for, or from an online estimate. Zillow publishes a 7.2% nationwide median error for off-market homes, about $29,000 on a $400,000 home. Our Port St. Lucie home value guide shows what else moves a local price.

What is the Sharp Number?

The Sharp Number is Brent Sharp's free, written home valuation for Treasure Coast homeowners, built on the broker price opinion standard he used across more than 12,000 lender and investor valuations. The standard report shows 3 closed sales and 3 active listings, Brent's comments on each one, and the number with its reasoning. It usually arrives within 48 hours, and asking for one carries no obligation to list.

“Your home has a real number. I would rather you hear it before you list than learn it the hard way.”

Why does pricing experience matter in this market?

Because the first price is the one buyers judge. In August 2026, Port St. Lucie homes took a median 86 days to sell, and 35.5% of homes for sale had a price drop (Redfin). Across St. Lucie County, single-family sellers received a median 95.5% of their original list price (Florida Realtors). A home that opens too high tends to pay twice: first in days on market, then in the cut. Brent tracks these numbers monthly in the TC Pricing Report.

Where and with whom does Brent Sharp work?

Port St. Lucie is home base. Sharp Real Estate Group works across both Treasure Coast counties:

• St. Lucie County: Port St. Lucie, including Tradition and St. Lucie West, plus Fort Pierce, Lakewood Park, Hutchinson Island, and White City.
• Martin County: Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Sewall's Point, Port Salerno, and Indiantown.

Brent works with homeowners who are selling now, selling later, or only want to know their number; with sellers whose listing expired; with buyers of resale homes and new construction; and with investors. Buying new? Many builders only honor a buyer's agent who is registered before the buyer's first contact with the builder, and a web form, a phone call, or a solo model-home visit can count as that contact. Talk to Brent before your first visit.
