About
The Path
Long before I was negotiating home sales and calling Florida home, I was a spunky 20-something living in bustling New York. After starting college, I left working at my family’s diner to cut my teeth on Wall Street. Later, I fine-tuned my service and sales skills in the casino industry as a Player Development Executive Host for over 13 years before entering residential real estate in the Tampa Bay market. Over the course of my 26-year colorful career, I’ve gained high-end, VIP-level customer service skills that set the precedent for how I deliver client service in real estate.
La Vita Bella
There are events that mark pivotal points on life’s path. Marrying my husband, moving our lives to Florida in 2004, and milestones with our boys are joyous moments. Other significant life moments, however, may be marked with emotions other than elation. But there is one place we all go to either celebrate life or find peace— home.
Whether we’re holiday baking as a family, pouring wine with friends, or seeking solace after a hard day, we embrace our beautiful life at home. I wish to give my clients the same level of dedication as I would to my family. Let’s find a house that always welcomes you home or sell your current home for a fresh start for what lies ahead.
