Native Realty earned a prestigious recognition from Florida State University, the alma mater of firm CEO Jaime Sturgis. Native was honored in the 2023 Seminole 100, which names the fastest-growing companies owned or led by FSU alumni. A special event was held on Feb. 25 at the university’s Tallahassee campus to recognize the honoree companies.
In its first appearance on the list, Native broke into the Top 10 with a No. 8 ranking (based on compound annual growth rate). It was the highest-ranked real estate company on the list.
Powered by the Jim Moran Institute of Entrepreneurship in partnership with the FSU Alumni Association, the Seminole 100 event allows FSU’s entrepreneurs to share valuable business insights with each other. To qualify for the Seminole 100, a company must have operated for at least three years and generated revenue by Jan. 1, 2019. In addition, the business must have been owned or led by an FSU alumnus for three consecutive years.

“The alumni on the Seminole 100 list represent 12 schools and colleges across Florida State University and show the immense value of a degree from FSU,” said Julie Decker, president and CEO of the FSU Alumni Association. “The accomplishments of these alumni exemplify what is possible with tenacity and innovation. We are proud to recognize them for all they have achieved as leaders and entrepreneurs.”
The 2023 Seminole 100 includes companies from several industries such as construction, finance, legal, marketing and real estate. Of this year’s 100 companies, 80 are based in Florida and a total of 12 U.S. states are represented.
