Today we’d like to introduce you to Lancelot.
Hi Lancelot, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’ve always believed that real estate is an anchor in our lives, and my journey into this world has been guided by that belief. After a successful 14-year career in the service industry, bartending across multiple countries—from Budapest, Hungary, to Miami, Florida—I realized I had capped my potential in that field. Real estate, a long-standing dream and passion inspired by my father, beckoned me with its limitless possibilities. As my father used to say, “They don’t make more of it, and people will always need a place to stay. Real estate will always be a good investment.” His wisdom has stayed with me and was the driving force behind my decision to earn my real estate license and pursue a career in this industry.
In 2019, my wife, Daria, got her real estate license, and together we founded The Sir Lancelot Group. We’ve worked with top brokerages like Keller Williams, Cervera Real Estate, and Broker Nation in Miami before moving to Daytona Beach in 2018. Since then, I’ve been proud to be with Florida Homes Realty and Mortgage, where I currently serve as a Broker Associate.
My approach to real estate is defined by a deep understanding of the market, an innovative approach to property presentation, and a commitment to simplifying the buying and selling process for my clients. I believe in empowering my clients with the knowledge they need to make confident decisions, and my negotiation skills ensure that their interests are always protected. I’ve been fortunate to represent a diverse international clientele, including notable figures like Russian K1 champion Dues Garner.
I’m honored to hold numerous designations and certifications, including the prestigious Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), which is held by only 2% of real estate agents. In 2024, I earned the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) certification. I’m also C2EX (Commitment to Excellence) endorsed, and certified in areas such as C-RETS (Certified Residential Team Specialist), LHC (Luxury Home Certified), NC (Negotiation Certified), CREN (Certified Real Estate Negotiator), and ISAC (Inside Sales Agent Certified). These credentials reflect my commitment to staying at the forefront of the real estate industry.
Throughout my career, I’ve been recognized for my performance and dedication, including being named Agent of the Year by RateMyAgent in Volusia County, Ormond Beach, and Port Orange multiple times, and a member of the Diamond and Presidents Club at FHRM. I’ve also been a part of the West Volusia Board of REALTORS® Circle of Excellence and honored as a WCR Top Gun and Best of Zillow.
My dedication to personal growth is fueled by ongoing education and training. I draw inspiration from industry leaders like Gary Keller, and I regularly attend Tony Robbins’ events and read his books, alongside those of Robert Kiyosaki, who set me on my entrepreneurial path.
Philanthropy is also close to my heart. I founded Sir Lancelot’s Table Inc., a charity dedicated to children’s education both locally and internationally. We support an orphanage in Uganda, providing education, clothing, and sustenance for 48 children. This work reflects my belief in giving back, and I contribute any spare commission to furthering the charity’s mission.
On the personal side, family is everything to me. My wife, Daria, is the glue that holds us together. She plans our adventures and vacations, as we love to explore nature and travel, from mountain hikes to cruises. Our oldest daughter, Elizabeth, is a spirited 6-year-old who excels in school and has already been on several international trips. Our newest addition, Lancelot Maximilian, born in November 2023, brings joy to our lives every day with his smiles. We also share our home for half the year with my mom, Linda Jean Lenard, who is an incredible help with our children.
In addition to my real estate career, I make time for fitness and personal development. I work out with friends during the week, and I never stop learning, regularly taking courses to better myself in real estate. My motto is simple: “Always pick up the phone—you never know who’s on the other side,” and “Never give up—you might be just one step away from reaching your goal.”
The Scout Law has been a guiding principle in my life: “A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.” I apply these values to my business and personal life.
In unity lies unimaginable power, and together we can make a greater impact. That’s a belief I hold dear, and I strive to live by it every day.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Finances were always a struggle, especially when you come to a new country with just $300 and a dream. About 12 years ago, when I set out on this journey, my goal was clear: to become a successful entrepreneur. But for that dream to become a reality, I had to go through the ringers.
I worked 12–14 hour days on a cruise ship, pushing myself every day, and later bartended in Miami, relying solely on tips to get by. It wasn’t just the long hours—it was also the constant investment in my own growth. I committed to my education, getting licensed in multiple fields along the way, and continuously worked to better myself and expand my opportunities.
The road was tough, but every challenge built the foundation for what I have today.
