Meet The Group: Gate Arty
I have been a resident of Lakeland since childhood, & I am still very proud to call this quaint town, "home." Originally born in Bangkok, Thailand, my family & I immigrated to the United States in 1978. I graduated Lake Gibson High School in 1992. Go Braves!
Growing up an avid sports fan, I enjoy basketball, tennis & especially football. You'll find me watching the Miami Dolphins game every weekend, willing them to a hopeful victory & with any luck, an eventual Super Bowl Championship.
I went on to complete my studies at the University of South Florida in Tampa, where I resided for a short time, earning a BS in Business Administration - Finance. Go Bulls! Ultimately finding my way back home to Lakeland, I now enjoy an exciting career in real estate where I can help friends with their real estate needs & meet new people everyday.
I believe that cultivating true relationships & forming strong bonds is critical to happiness and success in business and in life. If you would like to talk about real estate, & require an individual that is passionate about what they do, I believe I can be your real estate advisor.
As long-standing industry professionals, our goal is ultimate client satisfaction. We strive to build lasting relationships and bonds that will endure beyond a singular transaction. It's always rewarding to learn how you helped someone, and all of us at Gate Arty & the Group believe in setting a new standard for honesty and integrity in real estate. With that said, we present to you the unembellished words of past clients who have given us their feedback.
Below are comments from families that have utilized our services. These are real people who were in a position of buying and selling a home and trusted Gate Arty & the Group to handle their transaction.
"Gate is especially professional.."
I purchase distressed properties, remodel them, and eventually sell. Gate Arty has been a great part of my success. He responds quickly to all of my questions, and has always been on the mark with his advice. Gate listens to my needs & follows thru. He really hustles and maneuvers to make things work. I have purchased many properties thru Gate Arty & the Group and all have been winners. Gate is especially professional, and I highly recommend his services.

"He went off of "nothing," ...turned it into something!"
Gate sold our house so quickly! We had no idea of what we really wanted in our next home, but Gate was able to find exactly what we needed and after a few short weeks, we moved into our new dream home. He went off of "nothing," and after listening to our needs, turned it into something! We truly appreciate his hard work & dedication.
- Justin & Heather Sparks
"within a couple of months the home was sold"
Our home had been on the market for over one year and it was right in the beginning of the slow season for selling. Gate Arty came in and took over the job, and with in a couple of months the home was sold and we were able to move on. We are thankful for Gate Arty & the Group, and we have recommended their services to anyone who needs a good caring agency. Thank you again!
