As native to Clearwater Florida, I have lived, worked and played here all of my life. My grandparents and parents lived here before me and now I am blessed to be raising my family here as well. I have seen this area grow from a small, sleepy town into one of the country’s most desirable places to live. This rare perspective gives me unparalleled insight into the Tampa Bay Area market, its hidden gems, its sought-after neighborhoods and its prospects for the future. This area is changing—every day, in little ways and the best realtors are aware of those changes; we notice small fluctuations in the market, and we respond to those changes on behalf of our clients.
Of course, Clearwater and the surrounding St. Petersburg area isn’t the only thing that’s changing. Buying and selling real estate is much different than it was just a few short years ago. I have bought and sold real estate in this area long before I was an agent and I have worked hard to keep this knowledge and strategy on the cutting edge through my real estate career. For example buying or selling a condo in On Top of The World is going to be very different than buying or selling a house in Coachman Ridge. It takes a realtor who knows the area and who has the expertise to get the job done efficiently and in the shortest amount of time.
The days of listing a house and waiting for it to sell are over! Sellers need a realtor who has a strategy from day one. A layered approach is best, I market each listing across multiple platforms, including the Internet, direct mail, newspaper, magazine and word of mouth.
Buyers will also benefit from my expertise. My knowledge of individual neighborhoods’ markets and value trends ensures that buyers make smart investments, and my network of contacts—attorneys, appraisers, title companies and surveyors—helps keep the transaction moving smoothly.
Ultimately, my market knowledge helps my clients sell faster, buy smarter and enjoy the transaction. I’m committed to serving my clients and making sure they get the best deals in paradise. It’s what I love to do and I strive to ensure my clients will love living here as much as I do.
