Andrea Casale

Andrea Casale was born in Lafayette, Indiana. She comes from a family of Realtors and as a young girl often found herself answering the phones at her parent’s Real Estate Office. She moved several times growing up and has developed an empathy for the process of moving and finding that forever home. She landed in Tampa, Florida at the age of 17 to attend college. She earned her bachelors degree in Criminology at the University of South Florida after interning with the U.S. Marshal’s Service. She was sponsored through the Police Academy and hired directly out of college by the Tampa Police Department. She was a Police Officer for almost 19 years when she was forced to medically retire as a Master Patrol Officer after suffering an injury while struggling with a mentally ill subject who was resisting help from Officers. She obtained her disability retirement and as a result changed career paths. Andrea decided to follow her family roots and pursue Real Estate. She is a Licensed Real Estate Agent and is focused on carrying out her passion of helping others navigate through the home buying process.
