 With over 40 years experience of calling Sanibel Island home, I bring unmatched local knowledge, market insight, and community connections to every real estate transaction. After graduating from University of Delaware, I drove south, landed on Sanibel, and never looked back. This island isn't just where I work - it's home. For more than eight years, I have been a dedicated real estate professional serving Sanibel, Captiva, Ft Myers, Cape Coral and Estero. While Sanibel is where my roots run deep, I am not limited to the island and proudly assist buyers and sellers throughout Southwest Florida. Before real estae, I spent eight years helping grow Chico's from the small women's clothing retailer into the billion-dollar brand it is today. That experience sharpened my business acumen, negotiation skills, attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional service - qualities I now bring to every client. As both a homeowner and rental property investor on Sanibel, I understand firsthand what buyers, sellers, and investors are looking for. Whether you're searching for the perfect island retreat, a full-time residence, or an income-producing property, I offer practical insight and strategic guidance. From the first showing to negotiations, inspections, appraisals, and all the way to the clsoing table, I am by your side - holding your hand through every step of the process. I pride myself on being a strong negotiator, an attentive listener, and a proactive communicator who keeps clients informed about market trends and opportunities. Real estate is more than a career for me - it's a passion! I am dedicated to helping my buyers and sellers find that special gem they can truly call home.
