As vice president and managing broker of Ponte Vedra Club Realty, Gate Realty and Stockton Real Estate, Len Knight has his finger on the pulse of the local real estate market. Len Knight
By Jennifer Logue
How did you begin your career in real estate? I started my real estate career in 1979, at the age of 18, booking weekly summer rentals and selling summer vacation homes and invest- ment properties on Long Beach Island, N.J. Even though our summer season was only 10 weeks long, we toured potential renters through proper- ties year-round. I remember many times driving through un- plowed snow, down side streets, to reach winter- ized, ice-cold beach houses, and then proceed to show a family their summer vacation spot. My career started taking off in 1984 when I obtained my broker’s license; the following year, I was appointed vice president of Hill Associates, which became an affiliate of Sotheby’s Interna- tional Realty.
What brought you to Ponte Vedra? Family, the desire for a better lifestyle and all the recreational choices available here brought us to Ponte Vedra. Having three boys, two of whom were toddlers, the thought of another freezing- cold winter spent inside didn’t match up to the thought of living in Florida and enjoying the out- doors year-round. We joined The Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in 1994, put plans into motion, and made the move. I remember getting the news that Jacksonville was becoming the newest member of the NFL commu- nity while we were still in New Jersey and I took that as the first signal that moving to Ponte Vedra was the right choice.
How has the area changed since you first moved here? I wouldn’t say it has changed, I would say, “im- proved” is a better description. There have been increases from just one elementary school, middle school and high school, with more currently be- ing built. Most of the clubs in Ponte Vedra have had significant upgrades recently and everywhere you look in Ponte Vedra there are new and improved amenities.

Jim, AgeWell patient
Jim regains independence, strength and hope.
Looking at Jim, it’s hard to believe what he’s been through. A long hospital stay left him weak and discouraged and he felt like giving up. His friends at Baptist AgeWell Center helped him regain his health and his cheery outlook on life, too.
AgeWell is for older adults with challenging medical conditions. It provides primary care and helps with nutrition, emotional issues, memory loss, managing medications and improving mobility and strength.
And when patients like Jim are unable to come to the center, they can get basic primary care at home through AgeWell at Home.
“I am not sure how I would have recovered without AgeWell,” says Jim, who is now volunteering at a local nonprofit, going for walks and spending time with friends.
To find out if Baptist AgeWell Center is right for you or a loved one you care for, call us at 904.202.4AGE (4243). AgeWell Center
