I have been a part of Sarasota real estate since I was born. My father was a broker, contractor and developer when I was growing up. My earliest memories are of collecting rent, analyzing blueprints, creating inventive marketing and using a hammer. My mother is an award-winning volunteer and I have followed in her footsteps as well, serving on the board of our neighborhood elementary school. I graduated from Tulane University with a degree in Communication. I was awarded a top spot in May Company’s Merchant Ececutive Training program, leading to a rewarding career in retail, from buying to in-store management. My husband and I lived in the Northeast during this stage of my career, but our dream was to raise our three sons in Sarasota and for me, to join the family business as well. I have been living that dream since 2008.There has never been a more exciting time for Sarasota real estate, and I enjoy tracking and analyzing the fast-changing market, using multiple sources of data, research and professional networks. But as essential as data and technology are, I also love the emotional aspect of helping people realize their Sarasota real estate dreams. I understand the unique character of our sophisticated and beautiful region and why it’s drawing so many accomplished people from all over the country—and world. Sarasota buyers and sellers are sophisticated and knowledgeable, and working with them is deeply satisfying. As my clients will testify, I bring my total energy and dedication to each one of them and to every transaction. Real estate isn’t just my career; it’s my mission and my passion.
