I started my career in Real Estate in 1988 working for Arvida on the grounds of the Boca Raton Hotel and Club with a special project called Mizner Village. Arvida was so impressed with my outgoing personality and my ability to communicate with people, they decided to put me through Real Estate school and I have been at it ever since. Selling waterfront condominiums on the intercoastal, the prices started at $250,000 to over $1m. It was a fabulous opportunity for me to learn this business. After a few years when this project was sold out, I decided to go into general real estate and was with Century 21 for several years and then moved to Prudential WCI for several years until I moved to Central Florida in 2001. I have been with Weichert ever since.

I pride myself in being successful in this business because I truly love what I do and I love helping people always remembering to treat my customers as I would want to be treated! For most people, their home is their most precious investment and its personal.

I have made many life long friends in this business and I hope to continue to make more. Call me for a personal interview to see if we can work together to accomplish your needs whether it be selling your home and/or purchasing another, you can count on "First Class Service" and consist communications to enable you to get the job done with the least about of stress to you. "Off the Hook" marketing plans are one of my MANY speciality!! I have been extremely successful with short sales and have closed numorous short sales keeping my seller's informed all the way. I treat others as I would want to be treated leaving no one in the dark. I am consistant, persistant and diligent in getting the job done. When we close, I feel like I have really helped someone which is what it is all about. The hugs after closing make it all worth while. That is why I am one of Weichert's best!!!

Areas of Expertise

WATERFRONT LIVING & CHAIN OF LAKES

Starting my career in Ft. Lauderdale Florida & coming to Central Florida 10 years ago, the areas I choose to focus on and pride myself in knowing alot about are the waterfront homes and lots in Lake and Orange County. Waterfront living in Central Florida is fabulous and whether living on the Butler Chain of Lakes, Harris Chain of Lakes, Clermont Chain of Lakes or any other, it can provide some of the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets not to mention the opportunity for some of the best bass fishing in the country. Imagine boating through Central Florida from Lake to Lake and seeing all the wildlife that Florida has to offer. This would include Egrets, Blue Haren, Sand Hill Cranes, numorous species of Ducks, Butterflies, Turtles, Monkeys, Otters, The Florida Black Bear and of course our Florida Alligator. I personally have gone from Lake County by boat all the way up to Silver Springs and back and was overwhelmed at the wildlife Central Florida has to offer. If you can't live on the ocean or the gulf, Central Florida waterways are your next best place to live in Florida.

PREPARING TO SELL

Deciding on an agent

"What's my agent going to do for me?"At WEICHERT, REALTORS® - Hallmark Properties, we do our homework in order to effectively sell your home.

In an initial meeting, your WEICHERT, REALTORS® - Hallmark Properties sales associate will measure each room in your home, take exterior and interior photos, and assess the key features. The associate will also ask about any improvements you may have made over the years.

Other topics of discussion might include how to make your home more valuable to the average buyer and whether major appliances will be included in the sale. This is also an opportunity for you to bring up whatever concerns you may have.

Your WEICHERT, REALTORS® - Hallmark Properties sales associate will then create a customized marketing plan and presentation that will give you a clear idea of what you can expect of us. That presentation may include:

· a comprehensive market analysis

· a schedule of marketing activities

· Ad copy, along with a list of newspapers and marketing publications in which the ad for your home will appear

• Promotional materials with photos of your home and its special features - prepared as handouts to prospective buyers or for distribution to a custom mailing list

Once you list with us, we will immediately start putting the marketing plan into action, to help you achieve a timely sale at the best possible price.

I am currently working on becoming a "Green Realtor" doing my best to educate Buyers and Sellers on conservation, reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering.

In today's world, we need to do as much as we can to conserve energy and also make this world a better place for our children.
