Lenny Derewyanko, REALTOR

I was born in Brooklyn, New York. I attended school and graduated in Queens.  In 1972 I moved to Florida and worked in the Parks Department for the City of West Palm Beach for 10 years.

Around the same time I was hired by a contractor in Jupiter.  They were building homes in Admiral's Cove, Jonathan's Landing and The Shores.  This was a very challenging job. However, the satisfaction I felt after the completion of these homes is what led to my passion for real estate.

In 1988, I moved back to Queens, New York.  During this time I met my wife, who was attending nursing school.  At that point my desire to get into real estate was so strong that I finally decided to attend school and get my license.  I received my real estate license in New York and worked for Century 21 for a year before I decided that I missed Florida's weather.   So, after my wife completed nursing school,  we moved back to Florida.

I worked as a produce manager until I could complete the Florida requirements to receive my license here.  Shortly after receiving my license, the owner/chef of one of the most exquisite restaurants in Jupiter invited my wife and me to have dinner there.  During the evening's conversation, real estate was brought up. He told me about Christine Snedaker, the Broker of Option Realty Network / Bluffs Resales & Rentals in Jupiter.  I took his advice and gave her a call and after speaking to her I joined the team at Option Realty Network / Bluffs Resales & Rentals.  I couldn't be happier.

I am currently a member of the Jupiter/Tequesta/Hobe Sound Board of Realtors.
