Erik Hansen – Realtor / Team Leader & Golf Committee Chairman

Hansen Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Gulf Coast — Cokesbury Church Golf Tournament

A little about me and my family: I am a true Pensacola native, and have lived only one other place in my entire life. In 2001, my wife (Angie) and I moved to Orlando to start college and life as a married couple. I jumped into real estate while I was still in college at the University of Central Florida in Orlando back in 2003. After a year learning the real estate business and finishing up at UCF, I joined up with Keller Williams Realty in East Orlando and began really building my business. I partnered up with a Team Leader which catapulted me to the top in a very short time period. In the summer of 2013, after being back in Pensacola since 2009, I jumped back into real estate. In January 2016, I rejoined Keller Williams Realty with my entire team. Since that summer of 2013, I have built a successful real estate team that consistently produces in the TOP 10 of real estate teams in Pensacola. We currently have 4 Buyer Specialists (Cathy Paulsen, Rusty Mack, Renee Decker and Jane Oberbeck), a full time Transaction Coordinator (Carly Murphy), Listing Coordinator (Angie Hansen), and a part time Runner (Janice Paulsen). The team approach gives a level of service unmatched by the average single agent. Our staff and Buyer Specialists have the skills and experience to handle all your real estate needs! In 2015, our team closed 90 transactions and are on track for 150 transactions in 2016.

Looking to purchase your first home or downsizing into a smaller home? We can help. Thinking about investing in real estate to build wealth and a retirement? We have the plan for you. Seeking an experienced team to sell your home using a proven marketing approach? We offer a full service listing and marketing plan to get your home sold quickly, with the fewest problems and for the highest possible price. Selling real estate is a science and we have the system in place to get you the most money for your home!

In addition to being passionate about real estate, I love giving back to my community, traveling with the family to explore new destinations, watching football with friends in the fall, relaxing on Pensacola Beach in the summer, and occasionally playing (attempting to play) golf! My wife, son Peyton and I attend Cokesbury United Methodist Church here in Pensacola. I am the current Golf Tournament Committee Chariman and we recently raised over $10,000 for three local charities. My wife, Angie, is on the Board at Cokesbury Children’s Center, where our son attends pre-school. I am also a member of the Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club, which raises over $50,000 for local charities every year at events such as HogFest in the Spring and Dragon Boat Festival in the summer. We have a ton of fun giving back to our community and want to teach our son the importance of faith, family and community involvement.

Tara Santosuosso / Chill Cryotherapy Pensacola

Tara Santosuosso started her business career as a software engineer, then took time out to raise her son Anthony. An avid tennis player and skier, Tara sustained a few injuries and had nagging aches and pains. While living in Dallas, she started using whole body cryotherapy for back and ankle injuries. Convinced that it helped her recovery, she looked for one around northwest Florida. But there was none close by. Chill Cryotherapy is the answer.

Tara’s husband Jeff has enjoyed a 25-year career working for some of the major international life sciences companies. With an MBA from Dartmouth and hands-on general management skills, he brings sound business practices and experiences to the team. An avid cyclist, runner, and skier, Jeff also uses cryotherapy for recovery and relief.

Tara and Jeff have lived in Pensacola since 2012 and are members of the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce.

WELCOME TO CHILL CRYOTHERAPY, PENSACOLA.

Cryotherapy is a whole-body exposure to sub-zero temperatures used to promote the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, release endorphins, reduce pain and promote overall health. Cryotherapy is not a medical procedure, but a non-invasive alternative for individuals seeking faster recovery and improved health.

We have selected what we believe is the highest quality unit on the market today. It is manufactured by Impact Cryotherapy Inc. The unit was designed and is built in the United States. It is a unit we can stand behind.

The unit is currently being used by pro golfers, teams like the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, and Boston Red Sox. Now the NCAA is turning to Cryotherapy. Impact Cryotherapy has units installed at University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Wake Forest, just to name a few.

We are in the process of setting up our retail location in downtown Pensacola. We look forward to opening in January. See how Cryotherapy can improve your health and well being.

Dennis Caire / Breast Cancer Research Foundation Representative- HOT PINK WEEKEND in PENSACOLA, FL.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. We provide critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship.

Since our founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has raised more than half a billion dollars for lifesaving research. Through a unique and streamlined grants program, we seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine and give them the necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. As a result, researchers are able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer—and do so in record time.

“Our goal is to accelerate the breakthroughs bringing us closer to a cure to speed up the progress that will improve survivorship and quality of life for breast cancer patients today.” – Myra J. Biblowit, President & CEO

In 2015-2016, BCRF will award $48.5 million in annual grants to over 240 scientists from top universities and medical institutions around the globe. In addition, $5.4 million has been committed to the international Founder’s Fundproject focused on metastasis. Every hour of research we fund improves outcomes and saves lives. But we still have more to do.

The thousands of women and men suffering from breast cancer today depend on us. No institution can conquer this disease alone. Together, we can.
