Born in Long Island New York, I moved to Florida in 1977 with my family as a teenager. For over 18 years I developed a career in stock brokerage industry focusing on estate planning. During that time I served as an Operations Manager and Licensed Sales Associate. I then married my husband, Doug, in 1995; a real estate developer and investor who grew up with a father as a custom homebuilder. With my prior business experience in the stock brokerage industry; my husband's background in real estate and having a family in the home building business; I was well suited for a career in real estate.   By listening to my custo mers needs and focusing on their priorities,  I help my customers make successful real estate decisions and develop lasting relationships.
