Read MoreI am a Michigan native and have lived in Central Florida for about 30 years. I have been happily married for nearly 30 years and have two wonderful children, one of whom works with me and specializes as a buyer's agent. I graduated from Winter Park High School and have earned degrees from the Culinary Institute of America and Liberty University. I enjoy cycling, 3-D archery, hunting, and fishing in my spare time. I have been involved in real estate for many years and take pride in my ability to serve my customers' needs 24/7.
To effectively meet your needs, I continuously attend education courses (earning numerous advanced designations), stay abreast of homeowner assistance programs, and study market trends. I work to maintain a high standard and a professional image to make the sale or purchase of your home, land, or farm become a reality. In addition to having earned my Broker's Associate License, other advanced professional certifications/designations include the SRS (Seller's Representative Specialist), ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative), MRP (Military Relocation Professional) and GRI (Graduate Realtor® Institute). Selling differently than the typical agent with a focus on the listing side is what sets me apart.

For Buyers it means a skilled negotiator that answers your calls immediately and listens to your particular wants and needs beyond closing. For Sellers, it means that I go above and beyond what others are willing to do. Common sense combined with advanced training help with assurance of a skilled professional.
