Meet Our Team
We live here and sell here. Every agent on our team is a Solivita resident — which means we know the floor plans, the market, the amenities, and the community from the inside out.
Charlie and Susan moved to Florida in 2005. They were both involved in real estate in the Washington, DC area as landlords of multiple condos, which led to their decision to become Florida Realtors. Charlie retired from the U.S. Army as a Colonel with 28 years of service. Susan was an Army Captain for 7 years. After leaving the Army, Susan became a psychotherapist for many years at several locations around the world. They are the proud parents of three children and five grandchildren.
Charlie worked with Pioneer Realty in 2006 and joined Susan at Borchini Realty in 2007, obtaining his Broker's license in 2015. Susan started at Century 21 Premium Properties in 2005, then obtained her broker's license and started Borchini Realty in 2007. They concentrate their efforts entirely in Solivita — living in the community and knowing it inside and out. Both are actively involved in pickleball, softball, and the Veteran's Club of Solivita.
Their philosophy is simple: no pressure. The client always decides what is best for them. Whether you're buying or selling, Charlie and Susan are with you every step of the way — and even if you decide not to, they're still happy to help.
