About

ALHS, MCNE, ASP, SFR, Consultant

In my experience as a Palm Harbor real estate professional since 1997 and after many years as an International Technical Marketing Manager in a corporate environment, I’ve found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This “client first” philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. Constant training to keep me updated with all the changes and skills in real estate is imperative to me to better help my clients. I have gained the training, experience and credentials as a Master Certified Negotiation Expert. I use this experience to negotiate the best deal and terms for you in all segments of your real estate transactions. I am an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) and a qualified KW Luxury Homes International, Luxury Consultant, and have the experience and skills to help you buy or sell your luxury home with waterfront living experience, so important to capitalize on the amenities the Florida Suncoast offers. I am also an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) and owner of Rising Star Home Staging, and will help you prepare your home to be the best it can be to give it the selling edge in today’s market. In today’s real estate market we have many situations and processes that are unfamiliar to many buyers and sellers with distressed properties being more prevalent than any other time most people have been involved with real estate. To help you navigate this uncharted territory I am specially trained as a Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialist (SFR) with extensive experience to help guide you through both purchases and sales and management of these homes. As a trained marketing specialist, I can help you prepare, package and sell your home to bring you the best price for the market.

I believe that personal relationships are the keystone in business, and I also incorporate cutting edge tools to get you to your goals. I’ve found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I’ve always done successfully, only much more quickly and efficiently. They’ve also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

I am a native Floridian and have lived in the Tampa Bay area since 1995. Surrounded by family and friends, we enjoy the Florida lifestyle, the weather, the variety of cultures and entertainment, the beaches and YES we have them, the seasons!

So when we can help you buy or sell a home in the Tampa Bay Florida Suncoast areas, please contact me.
