Expansion will assist pro athletes

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has expanded its global service to include assisting athletes and professionals relocating worldwide.  

Tiphany Weeks, recently named a luxury real-estate specialist in the firm’s Dr. Phillips/Windermere Real Estate Gallery, will play a major role in the expansion.

Roger Soderstrom, owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said Weeks brings the team at Dr. Phillips/Windermere a background strong in sales and sales management.

Weeks, who is married to a major-league baseball player, will be representing athletes and professionals worldwide with their luxury real-estate needs, including primary and secondary residences, as well as exclusive investment opportunities.

Weeks holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing with a focus on professional sales from Southern University in Baton Rouge. She’s a former account manager for AT&T Mobility and was later a territory manager three-plus years at Healthpoint Biotherapeutics, where she achieved top sales status.

She earned her Florida real-estate license when relocating to Orlando from Vallejo, California, a suburb of San Francisco near Napa Valley.
