Mom and Dad's Last Rehab Project
I have always loved Real Estate! My parents invested in real estate by buying and rehabilitating historic homes and many of my childhood memories include driving around neighborhoods and looking at houses. I bought my first house just before turning twenty-one and have never looked back. I continue to invest in real estate to grow personal wealth and satisfaction.
I was born and raised in Virginia and moved to Tampa with my husband and two sons in 1988. We added two more children (one boy and one girl – finally!) and an adorable dog named Abby. We have lived in the Northdale area of Tampa since 1988.
Like many people who move to the Tampa area from other parts of the country, we relocated here to be closer to family and to take advantage of the Florida sunshine, abundant State Parks and beautiful Beaches.
Before being licensed as a Florida Real Estate Associate in 2005, I spent twenty years working as a corporate professional for IBM and AT&T. It has been quite a journey moving from the corporate world to Real Estate.
While I work much longer hours and the lines between personal time and business are sometimes blurred, all in all I find working with people on a more personal level much more rewarding than my previous career. Seeing a 40 year old man cry tears of joy at the closing of his first home and hearing him say that he never thought it would be possible is a delight and gratification that is difficult to express.
It is my pleasure to serve you. All I ask in exchange for my time and expertise is your honesty. I believe communication is the most important link between a professional and their client. If you are not happy with my services or your needs have changed, please let me know. I will not be offended, hurt maybe, but no hard feelings. The home buying process is stressful enough without you having to deal with someone that makes you uncomfortable. Tell me and I will be happy to refer you to another professional, no questions asked.
