I

Q: What made you interested in Real Estate?

A: I love helping people find their perfect home!

Q: What is the most interesting thing that happened during an open house you hosted?

A: A dolphin jumping in the water behind the home I had listed that was on the intracoastal waterway. He had perfect timing!

Q: What was your favorite moment in your career so far?

A: One of my very first deals was helping a man who needed seller financing, which is not common in my area. I didn't have much business so I was determined to find him something, even though my colleagues all told me it was a waste of time. I found him a great property, which he still owns today!

Q: What do you wish you had known when you first got your real estate license?

A: How tough it can be! It's not just opening up houses, LOL.

Q: In what ways have you seen the real estate industry change since you started?

A: In my area (Clearwater Beach) we are a big tourist & second home destination. The advent of Airbnb has really changed how so many people view their homes now.

Q: What's the most challenging part of your job? 

A:  Managing people's expectations, especially as I get so many out-of-state buyers & investors. They assume (and are sometimes shocked) at how different our market is, and how differently real estate transactions are done here in Florida.

Q: If you could sum up being a real estate agent in five words or less, what would you say?

A: Tough, rewarding, enjoyable.
