Betsy Pepine, owner and broker of Pepine Realty, has been a Gainesville resident since 1974. After earning a business degree from Duke University and an MBA in marketing from The Wharton School of Business, she built a successful twelve-year career in pharmaceutical marketing research and consulting before returning to her hometown to pursue her passion for real estate.

As a longtime real estate investor, Betsy recognized the need for professional property management services that prioritize both owner profitability and tenant satisfaction. This led to the creation of Pepine Property Management, a full-service company dedicated to maximizing property value while minimizing owner involvement. Under her leadership, the company has grown into a trusted partner for property owners, offering innovative marketing strategies, technology-driven solutions, and exceptional customer service. Additionally, Pepine Property Management benefits from its close partnership with Pepine Realty, assisting clients with property acquisitions and sales.

Beyond real estate, Betsy is deeply committed to giving back to the community. She has served on numerous boards, mentored youth, worked extensively to combat homelessness, and raised guide dogs for the blind. Her dedication to service earned her the Impact Award in 2016 from Business in the Heart of Gainesville.

In her free time, Betsy enjoys the outdoors, running, traveling, wine, cooking, and reading—but most importantly, she treasures time with her two daughters and rescue dogs.
