With more than 20 years of experience in coastal real estate, I bring a seasoned perspective to the Gulf Coast market. Since 2006, I’ve called this community home, building deep local roots while helping clients buy, sell, and invest with confidence. My career began in property management, where I founded and grew a thriving vacation rental management company that has served hundreds of homeowners for nearly two decades. That entrepreneurial experience gave me unique insight into both real estate sales and the dynamics of the local vacation rental market.

As Broker/Owner of Perdido Key Resort Realty, I specialize in high-value properties, including condos, vacation homes, and investment properties throughout Northwest Florida and Southern Alabama. The average property in my portfolio exceeds $500,000, a reflection of my commitment to excellence and my clients’ trust in my ability to deliver results.

What sets me apart is more than numbers—it’s perspective. My extensive market knowledge, combined with long-standing ties to the community, equips me to guide buyers and sellers through every step of their real estate journey. Whether you’re relocating, upgrading, downsizing, or seeking investment opportunities, my goal is to make the process seamless and strategically aligned with your needs.

In addition to serving buyers and sellers, I am passionate about leading and supporting real estate agents. By leveraging my vacation rental business, extensive database of loyal clients, and deep industry knowledge, I provide agents with tools, strategies, and mentorship designed to help them grow their careers and succeed in a competitive market. Helping others achieve their goals is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as Broker.

Beyond my work with clients, I’ve been honored to serve as the Perdido Key Lodging Representative on the Escambia County Tourism and Destination Marketing Organization, VisitPensacola. I also chaired the organization’s Marketing Committee and served as its Treasurer, roles that reflect my dedication to supporting and promoting the Gulf Coast as both a place to live and a destination to visit.
