I am a Florida Girl, born and raised. I have lived most of my life in Arcadia, graduated with honors from Desoto County High School and went to College at Edison State. In 2005 I became a licensed real estate agent and began my career working for a small, but busy firm, Martin Realty FLA. It was the height of the real estate boom in Florida and a valuable learning experience for me as an agent. I was able to write a number of contracts and negotiate deals as a novice agent under the guidance of some experienced agents. I don’t know if I would have been able to work so many deals had the market not been a little crazy then!

In 2013, after taking a few years off to be a stay at home mother to my two children, Addison and Brayden, I went back to work at the busiest firm in Arcadia, The Williamson Group Realty, Inc., again gaining valuable training. When I decided to stay home with my children, foreclosures and bank owned properties had not hit their peak and I had a lot of catching up to do! While I had remained interested and up to date in the local market conditions, I was unprepared for all the regulations involved with selling a REO property. Working for The Williamson Group Realty, Inc., allowed me to slowly become associated with the regulations in selling distressed properties. As an agent, everyday is a learning experience.

In May 2015, I decided to once again to open myself up to new opportunities and become a part of the largest real estate group in the nation. ReMax Excel allows me to service my customers in ways I have never been able to before. From national advertising to support given from the brokerage office; working for ReMax Excel allows me to focus on serving you as a customer. It has also allowed me to expand my service area. Now, not only can I work with buyers in DeSoto County, but can assist buyers in Charlotte and Sarasota Counties as well.

In the many years I have had my license, I have been able to work with numerous home owners and buyers allowing me to broaden my perspective of the unique needs of each side of a real estate transaction. For me, true accomplishment comes through my customers; they are the heart of my business! To experience with my customer the joy and accomplishment of signing documents to purchase a home or the thrill of a homeowner selling their home to walk into the next phase of their life is an outstanding way to earn a living!
