Episode Overview
In this episode of the Land Development Podcast, we dive into the life of Tyler Kitson, Senior Vice President of Communities at Kitson and Partners. Tyler’s story begins with his passion for golf, leading him to Rollins College with the intent to play the sport professionally. Tyler’s early ambitions in golf were sidelined by his curiosity and love for real estate, inherited from watching his father’s work in development. Despite the allure of professional sports, Tyler recognized the opportunities within the real estate industry during the economic downturn.
Tyler learned everything about land development by getting his hands dirty with real projects. This experience taught him the importance of knowing every part of the business, from fixing bridges to planning big communities.
Now, Tyler is a big part of creating Babcock Ranch, a community that focuses on being friendly to the environment and a great place for people to live. He shares how his background in sports helped him in business, especially in being determined and working hard towards long-term goals. Tyler’s story shows us that it’s okay to change paths and that success comes from putting your heart into your work and always being ready to learn and grow.
