I am a second generation native of Tampa, and have been a Brandon resident for over 20 years.  I am a full time, full service Real Estate Professional who knows the Tampa Bay area, in general, and South Hillsborough County, in particular, like the back of my hand.  I am delighted to introduce you to all the wonderful opportunities the Tampa Bay area has to offer.  your Tampa Bay Home Connection, enjoys a genuine passion for assisting home buyers and sellers in the realization of their dream of a new home.

My personal philosophy about the Real Estate Profession is that it is, first and foremost, about relationships, followed very closely by results.  My relationships with my clients and the results we achieve together are as unique as each of them.  The common denominator in relationships and results, however, is listening.  How else can one expect to to learn what is important to the other person?  Sustaining those precious relationships requires nurturing borne of mutual respect, understanding and integrity. It is our mission to deliver more than you expect when it comes to attending to the details and easing the stress of buying or selling a home.  Judging from testimonials and comments we have received from our clients, I'd say "mission accomplished" but it is always a work in progress.  You are only as good as your last performance.

Prior to entering the real estate industry, I was an Interior Design professional.   I enjoyed more than seven years with Ethan Allen, and then free-lanced for a couple of years before joining forces with an established local builder.  I reveled in managing the Builder Design Center for homes that ranged from $300,000 to over $750,000.  I had the pleasure of assisting families as they chose from a myriad of standard and upgraded finishes and features for their new home.  It was very gratifying to share and be a part of their joy and excitement.  The only position I have held that surpassed that level of gratification is that of a Realtor®. 

I have earned the CDPE© (Certified Distressed Property Expert) and the AHS Accredited Home-Staging Specialist designations.  I also am one of relatively small percentage of real estate professionals in today's market place who continues to make the financial and educational commitment to understanding and meeting the needs of homeowners - including distressed homeowners.  I am currently pursiuing both my CRS and CIPS designations, further demonstation of my comitment to my profession and the clients I serve.

A background in Interior Design, coupled with my AHS (Accredited Home-Staging Specialist) designation, allows me to assist you in staging and preparing your home to stand head and shoulders above its competition in the eyes of prospective buyers.  

I look forward to forging more wonderful relationships with Tampa Bay Buyers and Sellers and my colleagues within the Active Rain community.  If you are in need of a real estate professional with integrity, professionalism and competency - contact me directly at (813) 625-8795, or though email.
