Gary Balanoff

Gary Balanoff began his career as a Florida journalist after graduating in Journalism and Communications from the University of Florida. As the youngest Florida Capitol Bureau Chief, he reported on landmark events including the Ted Bundy murder trials, the first nine Space Shuttle launches, the 1980 Democratic National Convention, and powerful series on Florida's Death Row and domestic abuse.

After four decades in real estate—twenty of them as the founder and owner-broker of RE/MAX Select, one of Greater Orlando's top 1% offices—Gary is now embracing his third chapter: writing heartfelt romance novels that blend his storytelling passion with the depth of his life experiences.
