Real Estate, It Runs in the Family - NSB Homes’ Historical Background of Co-Founders Donna Concannon and David Kosmas
Real Estate Brands traditionally focused on concepts such as “Top Producers” and being #1 in a particular market. But consumers don’t care much about those things anymore, they are looking for a Real Estate Professional that is Local and knows the Market inside and out. Today’s consumers buy Lifestyles and Experiences. Meet NSB Homes, your 3rd Generation Native Lifestyle Realtors, Donna Concannon and David Kosmas.
Donna’s connections goes back to the arrival of her father’s Irish family in the United States and her mother’s, the Treadwell family, from the forgotten town of Shiloh. Shiloh was located at what is now the back entrance to the Cape, Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, until the government purchased all the land and relocated the residents. The family owned the only gas station in Oak Hill.
David’s connections go back to Canaveral National Seashore long before it was a National Park. David’s mother; Suzanne Kosmas, who would later become our Local State Representative, then Congressional Representative, started Prestige Properties in 1978. His father developed many of the Multi-Unit structures in the Time Share industry with locations in New Smyrna Beach as well as properties in Orlando, The Virgin Islands and New Orleans. David’s family relocated from Washington, DC. The Kosmas family were one of the only families living in the Seashore, building homes and raising their family.
The Kosmas and Concannon Families epitomize professionalism, commitment, and integrity in every detail of Buyer’s and Seller’s real estate transaction.
