I believe that to be the BEST Real Estate Advisor and Advocate for my customers, ongoing education is essential. That is why I have earned prestigious designations and certifications of the real estate industry, including Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Real Estate Negotiatons Expert (RENE), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), Short Sale & Foreclosure Resource (SFR), Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES), Luxury Collection certification, New Home Specialist (New Construction - NHS) and NINJA. I began my real estate career in the Clearwater/Tampa Bay area May,2006 with Prudential Tropical Realty. Warren Buffet purchased Prudential Real Estate and formed Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. We joined the network with rebranding in January 2014. Berkshire Hathaway quickly earned numerous awards and is a powerful and well-respected brand in the US, Canada, Germany, England, Spain, Portugal and Globally. What makes this all worthwhile is discovering my client's real estate needs, helping devise a plan, implementing it and seeing a successful and happy ending to that chapter of their story.
