I am a Real Estate Sales Associate serving Charlotte and Sarasota counties in sunny, Southwest Florida. As a RE/MAX agent, Im dedicated to helping my customers find the home of their dreams. Whether you are buying or selling a home or just curious about the local market, I would love to offer my support and services. I know the local community both as an agent and a neighbor and can help guide you through the nuances of our local market.I have received many real estate awards for production as well as community and citizenship involvement. As a member of the REALTORS of Punta Gorda-Port Charlotte-North Port-DeSoto, Inc., I was honored to be their 2016 Realtor of the Year and serve as a Director on the Board.My previous career experience includes being a business educator and staff developer for 23 years. My father was in the Air Force and as a child we moved every couple of years. So, I know what it is like to move to a new place and meet new friends. I have lived in Florida since 2004 and what drew me to the area is immediate family living here. I enjoy being with family, friends, and my dog.I volunteer in my community with several different non-profit and charitable organizations and belong to three local car clubs. Community involvement is a key component of my life.Being in real estate gives me the opportunity to combine work and play while living the Florida lifestyle.
