The “Why”

The “WHY” is to bring life changing transformation to the lives of others. My beginning in real estate started in commercial real estate. The realization came that residential allows a different fulfillment- one that gives me the privilege to work as a catalyst to change people’s lives. Those that I am privileged to work with, have a dream or a goal. And their dream or goal becomes mine. I am a “do-what-it-takes Realtor”. Dog walker, box-scooper, house painter, last-minute box packer. Encroachment fixer, permit solver, asset protector. Teacher, cheerleader, counselor, comforter, guide.

Mission Statement

My promise to you is to be the real estate agent I would hire.

• I am a sole agent, so when you call you speak directly to me.

• I answer my phone and if currently speaking to someone else, I call right back.

• I keep you informed every step of the way.

• I anticipate questions before they are asked.

• I “have your back” through the process.

Experience

You won’t find my face on a bus bench on McMullen Booth Road or on a billboard on State Road 580—but you will find me deeply rooted in decades of real estate experience (since shoulder pads were a thing).

My real estate journey kicked off in March of 1983 when I co-owned a commercial brokerage, managing a team of 35 agents and staff. Our company owned and operated office buildings and shopping centers all across the Tampa Bay area—yes, I’ve walked the walk in both high-rises and strip malls.

In 2001, I made the shift to residential real estate, aligning with Coldwell Banker, then joined RE/MAX in 2004, where I spent two decades thriving in a culture that matched my entrepreneurial spirit. Fast-forward to today, I’m proud to be with Blake Real Estate—a respected, locally owned boutique brokerage that values service over splash.

Celebrating 33+ years in the biz, I’ve weathered the housing boom, the bust, the Great Recession, a pandemic, and every quirky market shift in between. Through it all, my mission has stayed the same: provide top-notch service, clear communication, and real results.

When you work with me, it’s personal. I'm a full-time agent (no part-time dabbling here), and yes—I answer my phone. I'm hands-on, present, and fully invested in your success from start to finish.

I’ve sold everything from horse ranches to waterfront estates, celebrity homes to those “what-do-we-do-now?” properties. I love solving problems, navigating unique situations, and getting results.

Early to the YouTube scene, I was featured in YouTube for Business by NYT contributor Michael Miller, spotlighted on ABC Action News as a "Featured Agent" and "MLS Expert", and honored to speak internationally on best practices for real estate success. I even developed the CIS Score, a proactive pricing tool to help sellers take charge of their listing strategy. Oh, and I’m proud to be in the RE/MAX Hall of Fame.

Bottom line? I'm not flashy—but I am fiercely dedicated, battle-tested, and genuinely committed to help you reach your real estate goals.

So, how can I help you today?
