In Season 5 Episode 14 of the EEARSS by Alligator Robb Podcast, Frank Robb, along with his co-hosts Bill and Cindy, sat down with Zack Spurlock to discuss life on the Space Coast, leadership under pressure, and the experiences that have shaped his approach to business and decision-making.

Zack is about as close as you can get to a Brevard County native. From the age of one, he has spent his life enjoying the natural beauty of Florida’s Space Coast through fishing, surfing, and diving. One of his most defining moments came while scuba diving near Port Canaveral, when he unexpectedly came face to face with a great white shark. Instead of panicking, Zack grabbed his GoPro and captured the encounter, a video that quickly went viral. He credits that experience with reinforcing the importance of staying calm under stress, slowing down in critical moments, and not allowing emotions to control decisions.

As a third-generation member of the National Association of Realtors, Zack comes from a long-standing family legacy in real estate and development. His grandfather was instrumental in establishing one of Satellite Beach’s premier waterfront communities in the 1960s, and his father continued that legacy as a leader in property development and sales. After graduating from the University of North Florida with a degree in Marketing, Zack worked alongside his father in the family construction business before discovering his passion for the sales side of the industry.

Zack also shares how joining the right team of mentors and coaches became a turning point in his career. With the right guidance and leadership, he went from being ranked among the top 500 agents to becoming a top 5 agent. That growth came from learning how to clearly identify his tribe, market authentically, and build meaningful relationships within the Space Coast community.

Today, Zack serves as a Broker Associate with the Carpenter|Kessel Real Estate Advisory Team, bringing a relationship-driven and trust-focused approach to real estate throughout Brevard County and the surrounding Space Coast communities.
