About Me

For more than 24 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping buyers and sellers navigate real estate with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind. My career began in the waterfront communities of the Jersey Shore, where I quickly discovered that real estate is about so much more than properties—it’s about people, relationships, and earning trust.

Today, as a Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker Realty, I proudly serve clients throughout South Florida, bringing decades of experience, local market knowledge, and a genuine commitment to personalized service. I am licensed in both Florida and New Jersey and enjoy helping buyers, sellers, investors, and those relocating to Florida make their next move with confidence.

My professional designations include Global Luxury, Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS), Military Relocation Professional (MRP), At Home With Diversity (AHWD), and Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR). I believe education is an important part of providing exceptional service, so I continue to expand my knowledge and stay current on the market, industry changes, technology, and negotiation strategies.

Whether my clients are purchasing their first home, searching for a waterfront or luxury property, investing, downsizing, relocating, or preparing to sell a longtime home, my approach remains the same: listen carefully, communicate openly, and provide honest, professional guidance from start to finish.

To me, real estate has never been simply about completing a transaction. It’s about building lasting relationships. Some of my greatest compliments come when clients return years later, refer their family and friends, or simply stay in touch long after the closing.

A Little More About Me

Family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband, Chris, and I are proud parents of three adult children: our son Christopher (Toph) and his wife Amanda, who have blessed us with a grandson and granddaughter; our daughter Nicole and her husband Jay; and our son Erik and his wife Briana.

We are also incredibly proud of our family’s military service. Chris, Toph, and Amanda are all Navy veterans, and their commitment to service, dedication, and integrity is something I deeply admire.

I’m also a passionate animal lover and advocate for animal welfare. Our home is happily shared with two dogs and three cats, each a cherished member of our family. I wholeheartedly support the message “Adopt, Don’t Shop” and encourage anyone considering a new pet to visit a local shelter or rescue. So many wonderful animals are simply waiting for the opportunity to become someone’s best friend.

When I’m not working with clients, I treasure time with family and friends, enjoying Florida’s sunshine and appreciating the lifestyle that makes South Florida such a special place to call home.

After more than two decades in this business, I still genuinely love what I do. Helping someone open the door to a new home—or close the door on one chapter so they can begin another—is a responsibility I never take for granted.
