Sun Lakes Realty (originally McRae Realty) began as a family-owned and family-run company established in 1975 by Bob and Joyce McRae. McRae Realty was a leading business in the Pass Area. After working in the resale market within Sun Lakes Country Club in the late 80’s and early 90’s, the McRae’s decided to focus their sales and marketing solely on the retirement community and changed the business name to Sun Lakes Realty in 1995.
After Joyce McRae retired in 2003, son Larry McRae a 3rd generation real estate broker and his wife Cheri took the helm of the family business until 2017 when Carolyn Burton and Bill Pavkov purchased Sun Lakes Realty.
Carolyn Burton opened Sun Lakes Country Club for the Presley Company in 1987 and started her resale career with Sun Lakes Realty in 1996.
Bill Pavkov worked in new home sales from 1987 to 2007 when he started his resale career. Bill moved to Sun Lakes Realty in 2013.
