I am a passionate believer in designing your life to include all your favorite things. I am an entrepreneur at heart who has been involved in many business ventures which include starting a popular consignment home furnishings store in Toledo ~ Re-Decor; working as a Financial Advisor and investing in rental property.  My experience personally negotiating the sale of my business in a declining market (2007) led me to realize that I had a gift I should utilize. I made the decision to serve others in real estate using the knowledge I gained through many years of real estate investing coupled with small business ownership.  Research and Real Estate are my passions and my track record is evidence that I know how to help others achieve their goals.  I work with clients to not only engage in the purchase or sale of a piece of property but realize a life goal whether that be investing in rental property for more income, buying a second home for pleasure, or downsizing for simplicity.  It is so much more than a transaction and I draw upon my unique experiences to effectively serve others. 

• My obsession with research and finding a good deal led me to my own little piece of Paradise in the Sunshine State, and I now help others do the same.

• My ongoing experience as a Landlord and Licensed Agent gives me the extra knowledge needed to effectively serve Real Estate Investors looking for a good ROI as well as second-home buyers who might like to realize some income on their properties.

• My overall understanding of real estate coupled with my yogic appreciation that "it's not about the stuff" gives me a unique perspective to coach clients to step outside their comfort zone to ultimately reach their desired goal.

• Owning a consignment home furnishings shop gave me the eye needed to help sellers (individuals and investors alike) prepare and stage a home to maximize the sale price with minimal investment.
