ABOUT ME
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. I would be honored to assist you with selling your current home or finding your next one. I specialize in residential real estate and bring both passion and precision to every transaction. Proudly serving the Orlando–Central Florida market since 1997, I offer decades of local knowledge and proven experience. My professional background includes more than ten years in customer service with Lockheed Martin in Orlando, where I developed the people skills, communication expertise, and attention to detail that continue to define my real estate practice today. These strengths allow me to guide clients confidently through each step of the process while ensuring their goals are met with care and professionalism. I truly enjoy what I do, and I value the relationships built along the way. The combination of experience, dedication, and genuine care for my clients consistently results in smooth transactions and satisfied homeowners.

Proudly Serving Central Florida
Since 1997
My real estate practice is built almost entirely on referrals—a testament to the relationships I cultivate and the level of service I provide. I firmly believe that the most effective form of advertising is a satisfied client. When people are treated with integrity, care, and professionalism, they are confident in referring their friends and family. I take great pride in having built my business on this foundation of trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships.
I am a native Floridian, born and raised in Miami. In 1978, my family relocated to Central Florida when my father was transferred with Eastern Airlines. Central Florida is where I completed my middle and high school education and later earned my college degree in Business Communications. Having lived and worked in the region for decades, I offer clients both deep local insight and seasoned market knowledge.
I am married to my husband, Rick, and we have two children, Steven and Diana. Our family is completed by Tanner, our five-year-old Yellow Labrador, and Bree, our energetic one-year-old Scottie Terrier—who happily keep us on our toes.
Community involvement and philanthropy are central to who I am. I am a consistent supporter of Second Harvest Food Bank, MADD, Children’s Miracle Network, Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida, ASPCA, Pet Alliance, Orange County Animal Control, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I am also an active member of the Central Florida Women’s League Foundation, a locally based organization that has contributed more than $3 million to local charities and awarded significant college scholarships to Central Florida seniors. I have had the privilege of serving as the Foundation’s Fundraising Chairman for two consecutive years and continue to serve on its Board of Directors, as well as the scholarship and fundraising committees.
I hope this overview offers meaningful insight into who I am as a Realtor and as a professional. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and to building a relationship founded on trust, service, and results.
My real estate business is truly run on a ‘referral basis’. Working by referral, I have found, is the best advertising in the world. People who were treated kindly and fairly and received excellent service are the first to give your name or business name to their friends and family members. I pride my business on the foundation of referrals.
I am a native Floridian and grew up in Miami. My family moved to Central Florida when Eastern Airlines transferred my father 1978. Central Florida is where I completed high school and received my college degree in Business Communications.
I have been married for 31 years to Rick and we have two children, Steven (29) and Diana (26). We have a very spoiled 10 year old Black Lab/Golden Retriever, Nobry (No-Bree).
Giving back is a big part of who I am. To this end, I consistently contribute to Second Harvest, MADD, Children’s Miracle Network, GRRMF (Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida) ASPCA, Pet Alliance, Orange County Animal Control and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. I am also a member of the Central Florida Women’s League Foundation. This foundation is locally based and has donated over $2,500,000 to local charities and given tens of thousands of dollars in college scholarships to local seniors. I have had the privilege of being CFWL’s Fundraising Chairman for two consecutive years and continue to serve on the board of directors, scholarship, and fundraising committees.
I hope this brief synopsis of myself gives you a little more insight into the realtor I am and how I can help you. I look forward to working with you and getting to know you and your family better.

WHY I WORK BY REFERRAL
You may have noticed that many real estate agents take a transactional approach to soles identifying clients. closing the deal, and then moving on to the next one. I choose not to work that way because I believe you deserve more from the professional you decide to work with. That’s why I work by referral. Since my primary source of new business is referrals from people who know and trust me, I don’t have to spend time prospecting and promoting myself. I can dedicate myself fully to the activities that benefit you most and always deliver truly exceptional service.
I can provide you with up-to-date information and statistics on local market conditions, which can differ substantially from notional market conditions and what you hear in the media.
I know that I must earn your future referrals. so I aim to exceed your expectations. I have invested interest in making sure that you are completely satisfied at the end of our transaction together. I want you to be so “fired-up” that you cant wait to tell your friends and family about me and the fantastic service you received! When you come across on opportunity. I’d appreciate you referring me to great people like yourself, who would benefit from the excellent service and personal attention I provide.
I devote myself to serving the needs of my clients before, during and after each sale. Instead of disappearing after the closing, you can expect me to keep in touch. I will send you valuable information each month. and will also call from time to time just to check in and see if you need anything.
