In January 2004, I moved back to Palm Coast, Florida (my hometown) and took over my father’s real estate business, ERA Palm Coast Homes & Land, Inc. He opened the business in 1988. I loved growing up in Palm Coast and wanted to have my family experience the same sense of small town living. Now, I am married with three daughters and continue to love Palm Coast and enjoy watching people move in, out and around this city. As for ERA, I handle all of the accounting and bookkeeping work for the business, as well as the day-to-day operations with my husband, Jason Ames.
