About
Meet Rhett Pennington
Rhett Pennington is the Owner and Broker of Capital Realty Investment Group Inc., serving clients throughout the Greater Tampa Bay area, including Pinellas County, where he and his family have called home for over 60 years.
Rhett began his real estate career in 2008 after a successful career as an entrepreneur in sales, marketing, and manufacturing. After obtaining his real estate license, he quickly built a reputation for helping clients navigate complex transactions, specializing in short sales, foreclosures, FSBO properties, and distressed real estate.
In 2010, after two years as a licensed agent, Rhett earned his broker’s license and founded Capital Realty Investment Group Inc. What began as a traditional real estate business quickly grew into something much broader.
Throughout the years, Rhett and his team have purchased and invested in rental properties, apartment complexes, and distressed properties, while also developing extensive experience in renovations, investment opportunities, and solving complicated real estate challenges. These experiences have given Rhett a unique perspective—not only as a real estate professional representing clients, but also as an investor and business owner who understands what it takes to identify opportunities and make deals work.
Today, after 18 years in real estate and 16 years as a broker, Rhett has expanded his network and expertise across virtually every area of the industry. He has developed a particular specialty in off-market properties, commercial real estate, commercial buildings, businesses, multifamily properties, investment opportunities, distressed properties, and unique real estate transactions.
His approach is simple: look beyond what is immediately available, build genuine relationships, understand the problem, and find a solution.
Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, invest, acquire a business, explore a commercial opportunity, or simply have questions about what may be possible with a property, Rhett brings years of experience, creativity, and a problem-solving mindset to the table.
At Capital Realty Investment Group, our motto is:
“Helping People. Solving Problems.”
Meet Missy
A native of Tampa Florida, Missy has over 20 years of sales and marketing experience within the real estate, printing and design industry. Her real estate adventure started with Century 21 and after that, she and husband Rhett went to work as the ‘Pennington Team’ with Signature Realty Associates. Relationship building skills along with industry knowledge proved to be a successful combination in the real estate business. When the downturn of the real estate crisis hit, they began to see a complete new set of challenges. People were facing situations which required much more than just business skills. “People were in trouble and needed our help, very serious help!”
In 2011,they started their own real estate company, Capital Realty Investment Group Inc. The company slogan is “Helping People…Solving Problems. “Being able to help people is the cornerstone of everything I do. Your home is your sanctuary and one of the most important buying decisions a person will make. I can’t think of anything better than being a part of an industry that assists people on such a personal level. Clients have become friends and friends have become clients.”
As the company continues to grow and expand into new territories, Missy continues to focus primarily on residential single family homes and serves as the company’s Vice President and Sales Manager.
Dana Wesler
As a proud Tampa native, I have a deep connection to the Greater Tampa Bay area and a genuine appreciation for the communities and lifestyles that make it such a special place to call home. My career in real estate began unexpectedly when a job opportunity led me to obtain my real estate license. Four years later, I have built a career centered around helping people navigate their real estate goals with confidence, honesty, and personal attention.
Alongside my real estate career, I have spent the past three years working in property management and recently expanded my portfolio to include HOA and association administration. In this role, I provide broad administrative and operational support to help associations run efficiently and effectively. My responsibilities include assisting with financial management, administrative and governance support, rules and conflict resolution, maintenance and vendor coordination, and homeowner communication and customer service. With a background in customer service dating back to 2013, I understand the importance of being responsive, approachable, organized, and solutions-oriented when working with homeowners, boards, vendors, and the many people involved in keeping a community running smoothly.
I believe real estate is about more than simply finding a property and getting to the closing table. Whether someone is renting while preparing for homeownership, buying or selling a home, or looking for an investment, I want to be someone they can trust throughout the process and beyond. I am personable, I listen, and I believe in giving honest answers—not simply telling someone what they want to hear. My goal is always to understand what is right for each individual client and help them get there.
Outside of real estate, I am a mom to my daughter and enjoy traveling, experiencing new places, and spending time with family. These experiences continue to shape my appreciation for different communities and lifestyles and reinforce what I love most about real estate: helping people find the place that feels right for them.
I am proud to work alongside Capital Realty Investment Group and look forward to helping clients throughout the Greater Tampa Bay area with the knowledge, perspective, and personal approach they deserve.
