Jesse Battle
When Jesse walks through a home with a buyer, he sees things most agents simply can't. After 30 years in interior renovations, land acquisition, and the national building materials industry, he reads a property the way a contractor does — spotting what a fresh coat of paint is hiding, estimating what a kitchen renovation will actually cost, and identifying the improvements that add real value versus the ones that just look good on Instagram. That background doesn't just make him a better agent. It makes him a different kind of partner.
Jesse works alongside his wife Kym Coyle on Team Kym Coyle, specializing in waterfront, luxury, and investment properties across St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, and the greater Tampa Bay area. For buyers, his renovation expertise means walking into any property with a clear-eyed view of its true potential and its real costs — a significant edge in a market where outdated homes often carry inflated price tags. For investors, it goes further: Jesse knows what a value-add opportunity actually looks like, what it takes to execute, and how it translates to returns.
He's not just helping you buy a property — he's helping you understand what you're buying.
Jesse and Kym have worked together in St. Pete real estate and renovation for over 15 years, helping hundreds of clients buy, sell, and improve homes across the area. In 2025, the team closed approximately $58 million in sales — a track record that reflects deep market knowledge, a stacked network of local contractors and tradespeople, and a reputation clients refer their friends to.
Jesse's connection to St. Pete runs deeper than business. A third-generation native, he grew up in Crescent Heights, and his family's contributions to the city are recognized at Monument Park in downtown St. Pete. He earned a degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Florida State University, which shaped how he thinks about neighborhoods, long-term value, and the forces that drive certain pockets of a city to appreciate faster than others.
Today, Jesse and Kym live in Venetian Isles — the kind of waterfront neighborhood his clients are usually trying to buy into — where weekends mean paddleboarding the Intracoastal and working through the Tampa Bay restaurant scene one reservation at a time. He knows this city from the inside out, and it shows in every transaction.
Whether you're hunting for a waterfront fixer, a turnkey investment, or your forever home, Jesse will tell you what it's actually worth — and what it'll actually cost. Let's talk.
