10 years

In 1975, Joey's parents, Paul and Maria Smith decided the best way for their kids, Joey and his sister Marlene, to appreciate America and its upcoming Bicentennial was to experience the country first-hand. Traveling in a VW Beetle and starting with $500, they did just that. They worked their way through all 50 states, returning to Missouri on July 4, 1976 as the nation was celebrating its 200th birthday. They had completed a tremendous journey within 1 year of their departure date and have remarkable stories to share of excursions and amazing people they encountered along the way. Upon graduation of high school, Joey served as a Marine in the U.S. military. He then continued his education and obtained a Bachelors degree in Marketing in Austin, TX before tackling a Masters Degree in Public Administration in Wichita, KS. He began his career in the Federal and State sectors of government before settling into Local government administration, serving more than15 years as a city manager for various communities. Seeking a change of pace from local government, Joey began his newfound real estate career in Central Florida in 2004 after witnessing the great success of his sister and brother-in-law's real estate business in Naples. He had made frequent visits to Naples to see his family over the years and had found it to be friendly, tidy and quaint, quite reminiscence of his favorite TV town, Mayberry. After the death of his brother-in-law, Joey relocated to Naples permanently to assist his sister in her Downing-Frye real estate offices. They have recently opened their own brokerage, TROPICS REAL ESTATE. Joey's favorite pastime is watching re-runs of the old Andy Griffith Show. He is also an avid collector of ephemera. He spends much of his time researching and learning of the great communities that surround Naples and specializes in Olde Naples, Estero South, waterfront, bundled golf and equity golf communities. Joey's experience in the local, state and federal government has reaped him the benefit of being an excellent, trained negotiator. This skill comes in handy when he is working on behalf of his clients to obtain the best results in a real estate transaction.
