Founding Partner As one of the Top Producing Realtors in the Sarasota/Manatee market, along with being a founding partner of the 941Team (Top 25 of 8000+) I excel at providing customers with local knowledge, experience selling and/or buying, connections to many service providers and a passion for what we do! I have recently been recognized by Coldwell Banker as Presidents Elite Team, The Florida 100 & Legends Society, Homelight's 2021 Achievement in Top Producer, Top Negotiator plus Sells Homes Fast. Nationally recognized by Real Trends as one of AMERICA'S BEST Real Estate Professionals (top 1% team in the US). Born and raised in Manatee County, I can offer a unique knowledge and history of our market for buyers and sellers. Combined with 30 plus years of real estate experience, I have established myself as a highly regarded real estate professional in our local market – earning respect from both customers and fellow Realtors. Working with buyers and sellers is very rewarding to me, and I truly believe that along with my experience, I have a clear understanding and a well-rounded mastery of our local real estate market. Away from the office, my family and I enjoy spending time on the water – fishing, boating, and cruising the beautiful waterways this area is blessed with. I am also a big University of Florida fan and rarely miss a home game for the 2-x defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning as well as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As one of a very few true born & raised locals in Real Estate, my appreciation for the Lifestyle afforded this area will be of beneficial use for you – guiding you to the best home for your wants and needs.

Prior to becoming a Realtor® in 2009, I spent 25 years in specialty retailing with a Fortune 500 company. From store manager to VP of Merchandising, I never lost sight of the fact that the customer comes first, and their needs are the only thing that matters in the sale. The experience and training received prepared me to be detail oriented and professional in all aspects of business. I have been selling real estate for 13 years in Manatee County. I take pride in finding my customers the right house, no matter how long it takes. I would rather take as much time as needed so that I never get a call 6 months after closing from an unhappy buyer. A strong relationship is more important than a quick transaction. When you list your home with me, you will get a Realtor® that will work every day to get the home sold at the best possible price. I have lived in Manatee County for 20 years with my husband of 33 years and our 3 children. We love to play golf, swim, and enjoy all that SW Florida has to offer us.

Bradenton, Florida has been my home for over 25 years..... my family and I could not be any happier living in paradise! Originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, I have made several stops prior to settling down in Florida, including Ann Arbor, Phoenix, Seattle, Boulder and Dallas. Before establishing myself as a Real Estate professional, a large part of my time and energy was spent on a retail sports business which I owned and operated in the central Florida region. The transition from retail to Real Estate was natural for me because I am at my best when I am in front of my customers on a daily basis. I enjoy building lasting relationships with my clients, and I am able to do that by focusing on their needs and exceeding their expectations. I hold a degree in Economics from The University of Michigan as well as an MBA from The Thunderbird School of Global Management, located in Arizona. When not watching Michigan basketball or football, I enjoy travel, boating, tennis and golf. I am an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and my wife Kim loves her Cowboys! We have two children, Jackson and Sydney, and a puppy named Bella.
