A lifelong Iowan, the heart of the Midwest! I visited my parents for 25 years before moving to Naples in 2001. With 29 years of real estate experience, I jumped into the market w/ excellent designations, broad price range knowledge, & a city tour to find your perfect neighborhood. I also "speak" golf, tennis, biking, paddle boards, shopping, & beach!
In Naples, you will find that nearly everyone is from somewhere else! Your friendships will span the nation & globe. Once visitors experience Naples, they want to call it home & visit where they hail from. I am no different, & have tried to learn as much about the local history & activities to feel like a native.
As a community volunteer in Iowa & SW Florida, I've been involved in Jr League, Cancer crusade, March of Dimes, Kidney foundation & Alzheimers walks. Fundraising is a specialty. I have narrowed that list to select Naples groups, including the Naples Winter Wine Festival, & the Naples Players/Sugden Theater.
My education covers multiple areas, but most recently, concentrate on improving my real estate performance. This includes:
*BA degrees-Psych Counseling/guidance & Voc Rehab-U of Northern Colorado 1973
*Iowa Farmer-Creditor Mediation Services
*Licensed Realtor, Iowa 1988
