The “Why”

The “WHY” is to bring life changing transformation to the lives of others. My beginning in real estate started in commercial real estate. The realization came that residential allows a different fulfillment- one that gives me the privilege to work as a catalyst to change people’s lives. Those that I am privileged to work with, have a dream or a goal. And their dream or goal becomes mine. I am a “do-what-it-takes Realtor”. Dog walker, box-scooper, house painter, last-minute box packer. Encroachment fixer, permit solver, asset protector. Teacher, cheerleader, counselor, comforter, guide.

Experience

My involvement in real estate began in March 1983 as co-owner of a commercial real estate brokerage. I was responsible for thirty-five full-time agents and administrative staff. My company owned and managed office buildings and shopping centers throughout Tampa Bay.  In 2001, I transitioned to residential real estate, joining Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate. In 2004, I affiliated with RE/MAX whose philosophy was in alignment with my entrepreneurial nature. In 2024, I joined Blake Real Estate, an independent, premier agency located in the southeastern United States.
Celebrating over 30 years of service, I successfully survived the real estate “run-up”, the great recession and the resulting real estate market nosedive and business during a pandemic. I am a full-time agent. I am hands-on and I am present every step of the way. You will work directly with me and have my full attention. I truly care about my clients and work diligently to help clients achieve their real estate goals. I have sold horse ranches, waterfront properties, celebrity homes and properties in unique situations. I am an agent that seeks solutions and results. I was an early adopter of YouTube and profiled in New York Times contributor, Michael Miller’s book “YouTube for Business”. I was ABC Action News “Featured Agent” and “MLS Expert”. I was an International Mastermind speaker “Best Practices for Success” series. I am the developer of CIS Score, a pro-active way for sellers to participate in the pricing of their property. I am also honored to be a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. I look forward to being your “go-to” for real estate.
