Q: What made you interested in Real Estate?

A: I love working with people and helping them achieve their goals.  Many people coming to Florida are making a life change and buying dream homes, vacation homes, or retirement homes.  I LOVE seeing their faces at the closing table when they realize that achievement!

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

A: Having someone show up with a casserole for a party that was at a different address and they did not realize they were at the wrong house!

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

A: When I help a middle-aged lady who I met at an open house who said to me, "no one will help me buy a home". She had a short sale on her record so I introduced her to my mortgage broker who helped her get her credit in order and two short years later we were at the closing table buying her "Forever Home"!  She is still in it to this day!

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

A: What real estate was really about.

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

A: BIDDING wars are everywhere.

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

A: Understanding your clients emotional needs when selling. Sometimes they do not always tell you. Understanding your buyers needs and wants and affordability. Sometimes they don't always align.

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

A: Know the market you're in!
