Described by those I've worked with as honest, determined, dynamic, and relatable, I'm humbled by the praise I've received throughout my professional journey. My genuine compassion for others drives me to actively listen and understand each client's individual needs.
Having grown up in the Tampa area after my family relocated from Cleveland, Ohio over three decades ago, I've had the privilege of experiencing various regions of Florida before settling in Fishhawk with my husband and children. Family is incredibly important to me, and I cherish spending quality time with my loved ones, making the most of Florida's outdoor activities. Balancing parenthood with my career, I prioritize my health and energy through group fitness sessions with friends and outdoor running.
My extensive knowledge of the greater Tampa Bay area comes from meticulously familiarizing myself with numerous communities and neighborhoods. This knowledge allows me to assist individuals exploring new facets of Tampa or those transitioning to the region, helping them find their ideal community effortlessly. Drawing from my own experiences with corporate relocation, I understand the importance of having a reliable consultant to navigate the complexities of buying or selling a home.
Before entering the real estate industry, I spent over two decades in leadership roles within the retail and sales industries. This experience not only honed my supportive nature and listening skills but also deepened my understanding of customer needs. Integrity is paramount to me, and I'm committed to following through on my promises. With a strong leadership background and unwavering dedication, I approach each real estate endeavor with determination and a focus on delivering exceptional results.
With a career spanning over three and a half decades, including more than two decades as an executive, I bring a wealth of experience and insight to the world of real estate. Operating my own business and serving as an executive in retail stores have afforded me a unique perspective in negotiating and navigating real estate deals, enriching my understanding of diverse markets.
As an accomplished author and business owner, I understand the nuances of the market and the importance of turning dreams into addresses.
My personal connection to real estate began 24 years ago when I ventured into buying and selling my own homes. From Orlando to Hollywood, Venice Beach to Philadelphia's Main Line, The Jersey Shore to St. Petersburg and Hillsborough County, I have personally moved over 30 times due to my relocatability and passion for progress. This unique experience has honed my ability to transition seamlessly from one city to another, and I'm eager to leverage this differentiator in my real estate career to assist you.
Fifteen years ago, I faced the challenges of short sales head-on, learning crucial lessons that proved invaluable during more recent real estate activity. From elevated homes to strategic purchases, I've employed my knowledge to make informed decisions. I've even delved into the art of home staging to ensure properties show their very best for customers.
Moreover, my expertise in investment properties is rooted in my extensive personal experience in buying, selling, and renting such properties. Having navigated numerous investment transactions firsthand, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in maximizing returns and managing rental properties effectively. Additionally, my established relationships with property managers and vacation rental companies further bolster my ability to provide exceptional service to clients seeking to capitalize on real estate investments. By leveraging these connections, I ensure seamless property management and rental operations, optimizing profitability and enhancing the overall investment experience for my clients.
In addition to my extensive personal relocation experiences, I am excited to combine my executive and personal real estate expertise with an experienced local real estate agent. Having personally utilized their services twice for my own home purchases, I understand the value they bring to the table.
Throughout my real estate endeavors, I've been fortunate to work with some of the industry's best realtors, gaining insights from professionals who have sold millions in Hollywood, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, The Jersey Shore, and Philadelphia's Main Line.

Engaging a buyer's agent in real estate offers invaluable expertise and advocacy, ensuring you secure the best deal. With their negotiation skills and deep market knowledge, buyer's agents access exclusive listings and guide you through complex transactions. Having a buyer's agent provides peace of mind, protecting your interests and ensuring a seamless home purchase process. Without a buyer's agent, you risk navigating the market alone, potentially missing out on hidden gems, encountering unforeseen challenges, and leaving money on the table.

Having a seller's agent who possesses exceptional market knowledge and firsthand experience as both a buyer and seller is invaluable in achieving optimal results. Their deep understanding of the market landscape enables them to accurately price your property for maximum returns and strategically market it to the right audience. With their insider perspective gained from personal buying and selling experiences, they can anticipate potential challenges and offer invaluable insights to navigate the selling process smoothly.
