Dianne L Jones (“Dee Dee”) is from Long Island and was a June Taylor dancer on the Jackie Gleason show in the late 50’s and early 60’s prior to her career in higher education. She graduated from Bernard Baruch College of the City University of New York with a B.S. in Public Administration and Psychology, summa cum laude, after two years on the National Dean’s List. She retired as Deputy Director of Admissions from City Tech of the City University of New York in 1993 and relocated to Florida, where she joined her husband, Bart, as Pres/Broker, Bart Jones Real Estate. She was further VP/Instructor, Bart Jones' School of Real Estate and taught for IFREC (the Institute of Florida Real Estate Careers) in various locations around the state.. She is Pres/Broker of her own real estate referral service, DJ Realty Services, Inc.
Since the sale of the real estate school in 2005, Dee Dee (one of the few holders of multiple real estate instructor’s licenses in Florida), has continued teaching real estate courses at Stetson University for IFREC.
Bart Jones grew up in Eustis, Florida, and attended the University of Florida, the University of Rochester and graduated from Tulane University in 1954. Post-graduate work in French was done at the Sorbonne and in Computer Science at Pratt Institute.
After ten years as a real estate agent in Marion county and Dade county, hurricane Betsy, in 1965, forced him and his wife, Dee Dee, to accept employment in New York where he taught Computer Information Science, Math, College English as a Second Language and Developmental Math, Reading and Writing at the College of Insurance, Pratt Institute and the City Tech (Brooklyn) branch of the City University of New York.
Retiring from CUNY in 1991 as Assistant Professor of Computer Information Science and Director of Academic Computing, Bart returned home to Florida where he immediately re-licensed as a real estate salesperson. He and Dee Dee operated Bart Jones' SCHOOL OF REAL ESTATE in Daytona Beach from 1992 thru 2005, educating over 13,000 real estate students, and operated BART JONES REAL ESTATE from 1993 until their retirement at the end of 2008.
At the beginning of 2009, he and Dee Dee were asked to become the brokers for Aswin Suri’s new EXIT REALTY OF DAYTONA - which means that you will find him and Dee Dee in the office these days instead of sitting and watching the dolphins and pelicans and seagulls and ospreys drift past their Port Orange beachside riverfront home. .
