As a St. Petersburg, Florida native and a seasoned real estate professional, I have in-depth knowledge of the area and all that it has to offer. Buying or selling a home can become a complex or stressful activity if not handled properly. You need a real estate professional who is committed to one goal: making you happy. I have the temperament, experience, and drive to help you find that special property and to navigate you through the negotiation and closing processes. My clients know from day one that I only have their best interests in mind. Prior to entering real estate, I spent the last 23 years in residential construction and renovation. I have also owned and managed commercial and residential properties in Pinellas County. This experience helps me help my clients identify quality properties or give them realistic information on what it will take to transform a property into their dream home. However, keeping up-to-date on the latest property trends, marketing techniques, and negotiating practices requires that I continue to invest time and resources into my own skill base. My success is best illustrated by the fact that much of my business is based on positive referrals from my past clients. They know that I worked tirelessly on their behalf and that the information and advice I offered were candid, honest, and forthcoming. Let my attention to detail, local knowledge, and desire for success become your success in your next home purchase. I work with individuals, families, investors, and developers interested in the city’s most coveted properties, with a particular focus on Isla Del Sol, South Pinellas County Beaches, and the communities surrounding Boca Ciega Bay. When I am not working, I enjoy time spent with family and friends, cooking, traveling, and spending time on my boat fishing, diving, and just anchored up on Egmont Key. I hold a 100-ton U.S. Coast Guard license, and I am an active Dive Master. I am able to use this training and experience to give back to my community and our servicemen and women by volunteering for a nonprofit organization: Dive Care. Dive Care teaches disabled veterans and civilians with physical or emotional disabilities to cope underwater by becoming weightless in a water environment. Our approach is to build confidence and independence by offering a sense of freedom and adventure. I look forward to working on your behalf to find a property that will meet or exceed your needs and expectations, whether it is your dream home, a rental, or income property. It is my privilege to work with you to make the process stress-free, exciting, enjoyable, and rewarding.
