About Kristopher Thatcher

Kristopher Thatcher is the founder and lead agent of The Flamingo Group at eXp Realty, a luxury waterfront real estate team based in Englewood, Florida. Specializing in gulf-front estates, deep-water canal homes, barrier island properties, and homes with deeded beach access, Kristopher has closed over $40 million in luxury waterfront sales across Manasota Key, Englewood, Placida, and the greater Southwest Florida Gulf Coast.

With more than 10 years of residency in the Englewood area—just minutes from Manasota Key—Kristopher offers buyers and sellers deep local knowledge of waterfront living—from seawall construction and flood zone insurance to dock permitting, bridge clearances, and the nuances of barrier island building codes. He serves homeowners, relocators, seasonal residents, boaters, and high-net-worth investors seeking Gulf Coast waterfront property.

 

Before entering real estate in 2019, Kristopher served as a Gallery Leader at Restoration Hardware (RH), managing luxury retail showrooms and developing an eye for high-end interior design, spatial planning, and premium finishes. That luxury brand experience directly translates to how he markets and stages waterfront properties—emphasizing architectural detail, lifestyle photography, and aspirational storytelling that resonates with discerning buyers. 

Originally from Petoskey, Michigan—a small resort town on the shores of Lake Michigan—Kristopher grew up immersed in waterfront culture. An avid fly fisherman and outdoor enthusiast, he understands the emotional connection buyers have with the water and uses that perspective to match clients with properties that fit their lifestyle, not just their checklist.
