My real estate story started with my love of traveling. Growing up my family and I took numerous road trips around the country where I was exposed to several different lifestyles. Later as an adult, I traveled through Europe and became captivated by the different cultures and customs I saw. This prompted me to get a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida (go gators!) in Travel and Tourism. Having stayed at several Airbnb's I became determined to purchase multiple properties for people to experience the same fascination I feel every time I step into a different home. I am passionate about providing positive experiences to those who are looking to invest in real estate.

In the past 30 years I have been involved in many aspects of the real estate business in South Florida. I have worked selling land for general development, listed, sold and rented private homes and apartments and invested and rehabbed properties. 


Prior to entering the real estate business, I worked as a limousine driver, which taught me that first class customer service is most important, and the same service should be given to the worker on a night out on the town as celebrities and sports figures going to big events. So, whether you are looking to rent an apartment, sell or purchase a house, or just have a question regarding real estate, please call or text me for first class service...questions are always free!
