Private island living, just minutes from Sebastian Inlet.
VIP Island offers something truly rare along Florida’s coast: direct access to the Indian River Lagoon, peaceful waterfront surroundings, and homes designed for boaters, nature lovers, and anyone dreaming of a slower, more beautiful way of life.
From turnkey luxury retreats to unique riverfront opportunities, my current VIP Island listings each offer their own version of island living — docks, boat lifts, river views, privacy, and that unmistakable “away from it all” feeling without being far from everything.
Curious what life looks like on VIP Island? Let’s talk.

I’m incredibly honored to share that I have been verified among the top 1.5% of real estate agents in the United States.
While I am so grateful for this recognition, what means the most to me is the trust placed in me by my amazing customers. Every listing, every showing, every negotiation, and every closing represents someone’s home, investment, or next chapter — and I never take that lightly.
To my customers, friends, family, and community: thank you for your referrals, your support, your encouragement, and your confidence in me. I am truly grateful to do what I love, in a place I love, for people I’m so lucky to serve. 🏡

Wondering what this means for your specific situation? Reach out today. Let's cut through the noise together and make a plan that actually works for you.

Data shows inflation is moving in the wrong direction. But before the headlines send anyone into a panic, here's what's actually going on, why it matters for the housing market, and what it means if you're thinking about buying or selling.
