Meet The Team
Family, faith, country, and community are the cornerstones of my life. I’ve been happily married to my wife, Debbie, for over 35 years. She is my greatest blessing—a caring, supportive partner who has stood by me through it all. We have one son who is a high school principal. He recently got engaged, and I couldn’t be more proud of the man he’s become, both professionally and personally. Last year, he bought his first home, an achievement that filled me with immense pride. Family is everything to me, and we are fortunate to have my mother-in-law living just a few houses down. She plays an essential role in our lives, and the bond she shares with our son is truly special.
Buying a home is a very emotional experience, especially for those who have not done it very often. My experience in sales can help guide buyers with an analytical approach.
I am a top real estate agent in Vero Beach, specializing in neighborhoods like Grand Harbor, Vero Lake Estates, Citrus Springs, Fort Pierce, North Hutchinson Island, John’s Island, and the surrounding areas.
Buyers need to have the right information in order to make a strong decision. I will perform a complete analysis of all homes being considered and will highlight the positives and negatives in terms of the condition of the properties.
Champion of Community, Service, and Leadership
J Vance Brinkerhoff, a top-producing Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Paradise in Vero Beach, is not only a leader in real estate but also a passionate advocate for his community. For decades, Vance has devoted his time, talents, and heart to the Exchange Club of Vero Beach, a service organization dedicated to the pillars of Americanism, community service, youth programs, and the prevention of child abuse. “The Exchange Club of Vero Beach has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. It’s not just about service projects or fundraising events—it’s about building a stronger, safer, more compassionate community. I’m proud to stand alongside people who care deeply about making a difference, and I’ll always be grateful for the lifelong friendships and purpose this club has given me,” said Brinkerhoff.
Vance has served in multiple leadership roles within the club, including Past President of the local chapter and Vice President of the National Exchange Club as well as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee. His commitment has extended far beyond titles-he’s been a visible, active presence at signature fundraising events such as the annual Christmas Tree Lot, The Sangarita Challenge, The Healing Hearts Dinner/Dance and the elegant black and white Masquerade Ball, often attending alongside his wife, Vanessa Brinkerhoff.
