Remarkable service, unshakable ethics

“Having genuine enthusiasm toward our work enables us to quickly establish rapport and focus on our clients’ main objective.”

We strive to deliver a true one-stop experience: coordination of the home search, exceptional property marketing, negotiation of purchase or sale, and the details of closing.

David Wertz

Strategy, discretion, and steady execution across Tampa Bay.

David Wertz has spent the past 12 years representing buyers and sellers across Tampa Bay with a reputation built on strategy, discretion, and steady execution. A Tampa resident since 1997, David has grown up alongside the market he now serves, giving him a grounded understanding of the neighborhoods, lifestyle, and long-term value that define the area.

As Principal Advisor of Wertz Group, David’s approach is calm, direct, and highly intentional. He does not believe in overcomplicating the process or overselling the moment. Instead, he focuses on understanding each client’s goals, providing honest guidance, and navigating every decision with clarity and discipline.

Golf has played a defining role in David’s life and continues to shape the way he shows up in business. The patience, composure, etiquette, accountability, and competitive focus required by the game translate directly into how he advises clients, negotiates deals, and manages pressure.

David’s commitment to Tampa Bay extends beyond real estate. He has served on the board of First Tee – Tampa Bay and serves as Tournament Chair for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay’s annual golf tournament, supporting organizations that reflect his belief in mentorship, community, and giving back.

Debby Wertz

Serving Tampa Bay buyers and sellers since 2000.

Having provided professional residential real estate services to hundreds of sellers and buyers in the Greater Tampa Bay area since 2000, Debby believes in creating exceptional real estate experiences through the delivery of truly remarkable service. Tampa Bay has been her backyard since 1997, and her three children called Tampa home from the first day of elementary school through high school graduation.

Before real estate, Debby held a Corporate Sales Management position with a major hotel chain. From working as a stay-at-home mother to working in management, she learned the elements that make a successful business, and a major focus of hers remains providing the best customer service possible.

Debby is a member of the Compass Sports & Entertainment Division. Her genuine enthusiasm enables her to quickly establish rapport and focus on each client’s main objective, and her success stems from a sincere belief in customer service and an unshakable standard of ethics.

Caitlin Wertz-Cowden

A Tampa native who brings a nurse’s empathy to every move.

Caitlin joined Wertz Group in 2021, bringing a lifetime of exposure to residential real estate thanks to the influence of her close and successful family.

Before joining the family business, Caitlin was a registered nurse in women’s healthcare, where she lived out her passion for helping others every day. As a Tampa native, she knows the market intimately, and she pairs that knowledge with effective communication, empathy, and an understanding of people. She has found that nursing and real estate aren’t so different.

When she’s not helping others find their perfect home, you’ll find Caitlin baking, so don’t be surprised if you end up with some home-baked goodies at closing. Otherwise, she’s likely spending time with her husband, Mat, and their golden retriever, Palmer.
