As a second-generation real estate broker, I often say that real estate is just in my blood. At an early age, I loved helping out at our family-owned office… organizing supplies, answering phones or going to show houses with Mom and Dad. I quickly discovered that being a real estate agent was SO much more than showing houses - it was personal, it was ALL about the people; the actual house was secondary. This growing love ultimately led to me obtaining my New York real estate license during college years.<br><br>After completing my Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Management from St. John Fisher College, I served as office manager and property manager for one of our offices in the Finger Lakes area of New York; managing several real estate agents as well as handling seasonal and long-term rentals. Though great experience, I learned that my true passion was in helping clients find their next home, investment property or commercial space.<br><br>Over the next several years, I worked tirelessly to help friends, family, new and repeat clients buy and sell property. Real estate came easy as I had a fondness for helping people. During the first 2 years of selling, I was awarded Pinnacle Quality Service for exceptional service; Masters-level awards for multi-million-dollar production; Rising Star for newest-to-the-business with highest level production. Additionally, I served for 4 years as a director for our board of Realtors. As I watched my business grow year after year, I held true to myself that my clients came first. I believe that my success is a result of operating with the highest level of morals and ethics.<br><br>When my husband, two daughters and I decided to relocate from New York to Florida, there was no question that I'd obtain my Florida Broker license. What an exciting new market to break into!<br><br>From our start in Tampa in 2021, to our move to Palm Harbor in April of 2023, and now on to our family home in Spring Hill/Brooksville, I have spent the past years in Florida helping clients all over Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Manatee Counties. And boy, what a BEAUTIFUL place this is! With God's hand, our now family of 5, has been blessed through this Real Estate career. I am excited to continue to meet new clients, serve repeat clients (New York and Florida) and as always, work with honesty and ethics at the forefront of my business. If you or anyone you know are looking to buy or sell a property, please give me a call! I'd love to help!
