They were joined by their daughter, Linda Schlitt Gonzalez in 1972 and by their son, Steven Schlitt, in 1998.
They were later joined by two of Linda’s children, agents Andrew and Melanie Gonzalez as well as their sister Barb Schlitt Ford who serves as head of operations, human resources and legal.
Following the tradition of their parents, Linda and Steve have grown the company into nine offices covering over 100 miles along Florida’s east coast.
Now known as Coldwell Banker Paradise, the company has a sales force of over 230 sales associates and 48 staff to meet real estate needs for Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, South Hutchinson Island, North Hutchinson Island, Vero Beach, Sebastian and Melbourne, Florida.
