New Construction & Investor

I moved from Northwest Ohio to escape the cold winters. I relocated permanently to Southwest Florida in October 1985, I did not want to see another winter. I craved warm weather, sunshine, sunsets, beaches and boating. My entire adult life has been dedicated to serving the public. If you are thinking of relocating to our area, I have extensive local knowledge that I would love to share with you. My past work experience was a successful multi-store owner franchise operator in SW Florida and VP of Operations of Riviera Homes and Sanctuary Homes also in SW Florida, working with Buyers and Contractors in new home construction for the luxury market. This allowed me to learn the demographics and to fit the needs and lifestyles of the client and importantly learning materials in the home building product.

If you are a home owner, and you are thinking of selling and you are wanting to know what is your home worth, please contact me for an custom and accurate CMA, do not go by just one you happened to see online. Your property listing will include an exclusive property marketing plan designed to attract attention and showcase your properties distinctive qualities. Picking the right agent, like me who is warm and wanting to understand and meet your goals and one that listens and understands this is a life changing event. You need an agent like me, who is honest, one that has the skills, expertise, one who can negotiate, making the art of the deal ( keeping the deal between the buyer and seller happy) and one who has the experience that only comes from years of this type of work. I can help you in your decision process, avoiding costly mistakes.

I am also a scuba diver, I love water, the marine life and the beach and sand between my toes! I do my part to protect our oceans. I am a boater and I can think like a offshore or inshore boater, I understand serious boaters requirements and needs. I specialize in waterfront luxury homes, new construction, condominiums, and vacant land in Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Estero, Matlacha, Bokeelia, St James City and the surrounding areas, all within beautiful Southwest Florida. Please give me a call, let's talk....
