Bright, P. Blaise

Bright, P. Blaise

"Today's customers are sophisticated.  They can tell if you're interested in them and their needs," Blaise said.  "Buying is a highly emotional decision.  A lot of salepeople spend too much time talking,  and not enough time listening."

Blaise was born in Lakewood, Ohio and raised in East Lansing, Michigan. He attended the University of Florida on a Navy ROTC scholarship, graduating in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  In 1991, he earned a Master of Science degree from UF, his studies funded by a National Science Foundation grant. Selling real estate and new home construction may be in Blaise's genes.  His grandfather founded a real estate and construction company in Cleveland, Ohio in 1910."He was born and bred to sell new homes," John Cannon said. "He knows construction, empathizes with clients and hears what's important to them.  He loves working with custom products."

Blaise has been married to wife Liz for 17 years.  They have two daughters Sally and Emma, and one son, Paul.  They are active in Sts. Peter and Paul Parish and St. Joseph Catholic School.

Schubring, Debbie

Schubring, Debbie

Originally from Connecticut, Deb has had a life long connection with the Sarasota area and always knew that at some point she would live in the sunshine.  With a background in sales and public relations, her career has always had a common thread-customer service.  "It's the key to any company's success and I am passionate about retaining that as a core value.  Many talk about it, but few actually succeed.  I am committed to follow through and always making sure that customers know they can count on me." 

Debbie began her career in real estate in 1990 and was John Cannon Homes' original sales associate when the company was forging a name in the industry. 

Debbie and husband Mike have a daughter Devin.  She is very active in the community through various charities, her neighborhood association and Southside School PTA.  She loves to travel, entertain and the endless pursuit of remodeling her home!
