Get To Know Us

We specialize in waterfront, golf course, and new construction homes along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Denise and Jay Heath have earned eXp's ICON Award four years in a row, and earned the Diamond Award 2022. Agents can achieve ICON status by meeting or exceeding production requirements during their annual capping term. Once involved in the ICON Program, there are additional opportunities for ICONs to earn more awards by giving back time, talents and knowledge to eXp’s agent population and also by attending specific eXp-approved events. Denise and Jay are proud to have been recognized as top tier performers in the company, and look forward to leveraging their success to better serve their clientele.

Denise and Jay met on the stage of a jazz festival as freelance musicians, and combined his sultry saxophone (Jay served in the US Army Band) and her versatile vocals (Denise performed at Carnegie Hall) to form a unique and marketable sound, grow an extensive repertoire of songs that spanned the Big Band era to the pop music scene, and form their first business together, the SaxyDuo in 1996. They both still play professionally today. 
 
The next chapter included a wedding, a new home, and a family of 4 talented children! As busy parents of three sons and one daughter, they leveraged the equity in their home to open a musical instrument retail store and music education center, Middletown Music. The next thirteen years were dedicated to raising their family together with a phenomenal staff, incredibly talented instructors, and a beloved network of clients. Twice a year, they had the privilege and traveling around the country to trade shows with 4 kids in tow, and meeting and serving legendary artists from around the globe. The music education center grew, as did the band instrument rental program, and the culture of promoting a lifelong love of learning through the universal language of music was impacting lives beyond expectation. 
 
Chapter 3 began in 2009 with the purchase of a vacation home in Orlando and the even more magical move to the gorgeous Gulf Coast five years later. Here is the place where the Heaths founded their real estate business Live Love Paradise® to help others make their real estate wishes a reality! With a tremendous love for the water and an active outdoor lifestyle, Denise and Jay have found ways to harmonize a strong work ethic and heart for service with a creativity, fun and a relaxed island tempo.
