Why Choose Me As Your Agent? I am a true Floridian! I was born and raised in Hillsborough County, Florida. As a young adult, I lived in Polk County briefly. My husband and I have raised our two daughters in Ruskin, where we built our home in 2011. When my girls were younger I stayed home with them and worked part-time in a financial office. Shortly after our youngest daughter was born in 2013, my husband joined the Manatee County Sheriff's Office. After being at the financial office for 10 years and becoming the office manager, I decided I wanted a change in my career. I took the real estate class with a friend and discovered very quickly that I am good at it. In my first five years of real estate, I was able to close a variety of contracts. I have worked with clients on everything from vacant land to several multi-million dollar homes across the state. Thus far, I have been fortunate enough to work all the way from Nassau County to Sarasota County and I am still expanding! Outside the state of Florida, I work with agents all around the world. Keller Williams Realty offers a large global referral network of agents. My team, South Shore Living Home Group at Keller Williams South Shore, has organized several successful community clean up events on the roads of Apollo Beach and plan to continue the effort to keep our community beautiful. On top of that, Keller Williams South Shore picks a new, local charity to sponsor every year. Not only do we collect a donation, but we also get hands on, helping with whatever that charity needs from us. When we aren't working, you can usually find our family out on the water enjoying the Florida sunshine. Our family loves to go snorkeling around the islands or offshore fishing. At the end of the day, you can usually find us dining at any of the local restaurants that offer a nice water view. My job is to make the real estate buying and selling process as simple as possible for you. I truly enjoy what I do for people. Let an expert help you, these are very important decisions. There is a reason why we are required to do continued education classes regularly. Real estate laws and contracts are different in every state. On top of laws being different in every state, zoning codes can vary by county. I can't stress enough how important it is to use a licensed agent or an attorney to represent you when conducting a real estate transaction. Please reach out to me with your real estate needs and I will speak to you with no obligations.
