A native of Florida, I started my career in Central Florida property management in a successful business achieving Owner/Operator in short time. Just a few years later, I then received my B.A. Degree in Management Information Systems at University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida.

After earning my degree, I joined an international commercial real estate company in Maitland and assisted in investment opportunities to the German Investor market. My up-to-date knowledge of  Orlando markets, Central Florida market trends, marketing strategies and management insights makes me an informed team member of Home Investment Realty of Orlando.

Continuing to expand my knowledge, I joined a residential/commercial company in Altamonte working closely with the title company to succeed in the closing of countless properties in the Orlando area.

I hold a Florida real state license and I am sworn in as a Realtor. My credentials include membership to the National Association of Realtors, Orlando Regional Realtors Association and Florida Association of Realtors.

Specialty markets include Orlando area relocation, vacation or second homes, first time buyers, luxury properties, lot/land, commercial, golf course and gated communities, and retirement homes serving the Central Florida area.

My family, friends and community involvement are important parts of my life. I have volunteered on several boards in my Central Florida neighborhood to improve our community as a whole. I have also volunteered in and around the Orlando area in various events.

Everything you need to know about buying or selling a home can be found here on my Website! As the preeminent real estate professional in this community, I am dedicated to providing the finest service available while breaking new ground.

Because the real estate industry is becoming more sophisticated and challenging every day, you need a professional that understands the industry and is positioned to stay ahead of the game.

I go the extra mile to help you achieve your goals. That's why I constantly research the Orlando market and property values so your home is priced effectively from day one. I also make sure the public knows your home is for sale by using innovative advertising and marketing techniques to attract potential buyers.

I look forward to hearing from you! Call or email today!

SHOW YOUR HOME IN THE BEST LIGHT POSSIBLE. While you don't have to keep your house 100% clean all the time, you should make any necessary repairs and perform all major cleanup work BEFORE you start showing your home. There are hundreds of small things you can do to make your house more attractive for a showing, ranging from drawing all the blinds and tightening loose doorknobs to displaying fresh-cut flowers and baking a loaf of bread. Most importantly, you should not be present during showings so that prospective buyers can explore your home freely. Ask your Realtor to provide a checklist of things you can do to make your home more attractive to buyers.     MAKE HIGH-RETURN IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR HOME.   There are a number of improvements that you can make to your house that will provide a greater-than-100% return on your initial investment. Chief among these is having your house painted, but you should also consider kitchen and bathroom renovations, adding fireplaces and skylights, and attic or basement conversions. Contrary to popular belief, building a swimming pool is not a good capital investment, and will usually only add 33% of its cost to your home's final sale price.     SELL FIRST THEN BUY.   This is generally sound advice unless you live in an extremely hot market and your Realtor is sure you'll be able to sell your home quickly. Timing is crucial, so start working with your agent to find a new home as soon as yours is listed. With a little bit of luck, the day you accept an offer on your home, you'll be able to make an offer on a new home and close both deals on the same day. At worst, you may have to live in a rental for a couple of months, but most people agree that moving twice is preferable to being stuck with two mortgage payments!     PRICE YOUR HOME REALISTICALLY.   Sales statistics show that properties that are initially priced too high eventually sell for less than properties that were correctly priced in the first place. Also, over-priced houses can take months or even years to sell, while properly priced houses usually sell in a matter of weeks or even days. When selecting your agent, make sure that each Realtor you interview presents a CMA (or Comparative Market Analysis) that shows what he or she thinks your house is worth. The average or median price will likely be very close to your home's true market value.
