Lifestyle and the area.....(I keep you informed) : What do you like to do when you are in Southwest Florida? This question is a must answer ! I like to reverse engineer, with the home being last. Remember as a full time or seasonal resident, you will not be at the Snook Inn every night or at the Naples Pier. As a full time real estate agent and resident of Marco Island, I do my best to know the area and everyday life activities (these can be important-- often overlooked..have a few nightmare stories..) & recreational activities. Where is a good Paddleboard launch and storage? How many boat ramps in Collier County? Where are the resident beach accesses? Who watches my place when I am not here and what needs to be done? How much does it cost to replace a seawall? As a Buyer's Agent....(I keep you informed) : I respond, listen and ask questions - constantly.....I am not living in the home, you are going to live in your new sunny Florida home. I find out about your lifestyle - the home or condo are secondary to the life equation in most instances. Resale or new construction, I am here to help and counsel (not dictate) you on your resort home purchase. As a Certified New Home Specialist(TM) and being Residential Construction Certified(TM) I have taken the time to gain valuable knowledge which may assist you in the evaluation of your property purchase. If you are selling a home....(I keep you informed) : I love working with buyers, which means I understand seller's better. Who better to sell a major asset than someone who has experience and has been held accountable in selling technology services/products at both large and small businesses? ME ! I grew up with a father that demanded respect of property and that memory has never left me. Education as a member of the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing® has helped me to better understand resort property sales and move the sale of your home to the closing table with a maximized hammer price. Your house is, well it is YOUR house...so again, I work for you....you are the boss. Negotiating....(I keep you informed-see a pattern here?) : I did not grow up in real estate. I learned in growing other businesses large and small. I have negotiated successful agreements in industry, as well as real estate. I treat all parties with the respect and common courtesy they deserve. I work to achieve the goals of my buyers or sellers. I have established strong relationships with other real estate agents in the area which is key to any buying or selling transaction. About Me : Prior to real estate, I was a high performing sales professional, answering creatively to corporate executives and developing solutions for ambitious entrepreneurs. You can be assured that every detail will be attended to with the utmost integrity and enthusiasm. I hold myself accountable to an exact execution of written and signed agreements, and make myself easily accessible. My passion for home construction, maintenance and garden design have struck with me all my life. My family loves Southwest Florida. Beth, and rescue dogs Coby and Gracie love the Florida sunshine as well. I am brokered by Berkshire Hathaway, one of the most recognized brands in the world.
