Let's chat if I can help you. I've been buying and selling real estate as well as managing rental properties for over 25 years. I have an excellent overview of both the residential market and investment properties. I'm hard working and honest. Give me a chance to earn your business and you won't regret it. I go the extra mile for my customers.

Confession: I never came up through the sales playbook. No scripts, no closing lines, no polished pitch I run on repeat — honestly, I couldn't pull off the canned version if I tried. I'm a from-scratch agent. I'm wired to notice the details: which canals actually reach the river, what a 14-foot bridge does to your boat plans, the small things that are easy to skim past. I read the survey. I ask the question nobody thought to ask. There are so many great agents in this town — a lot of them are my friends. I'm just built a little differently, and I've stopped apologizing for it. If from-scratch is your speed, I'm easy to reach.

Let's talk about the math nobody shows you at an open house. 51-55 Lake Street in North Fort Myers is a duplex — a 3/2 on one side, a 2/1 on the other, listed at $350,000. Live in one unit and let the other help pay your mortgage, or hold both — each side is ready to rent, with its own screened porch and fenced yard, plus a metal garage building on the property. Duplexes don't come up often around here, and this one has been getting attention. Want to walk through the numbers? I'm easy to reach.

Saw a viral recipe. Made the viral recipe. Learned some things. Ground chicken seasoned with pickle brine for zip, then flattened into a giant breaded cutlet and oven fried into sandwiches. Sounds straightforward, right? Here's what the algorithm did not mention: raw ground chicken on parchment paper has opinions about being flattened. Strong ones. Eventually — patted into submission, panko applied — it went in the oven and came out... actually great? Buttered roll. Pickle coins on top. Genuinely solid sandwich situation. The internet giveth and the internet humbleth. 🥒

Random thought over coffee ☕ — I have yet another system being built out right now and it hit me: if I'd had Claude Cowork as a teenager, I genuinely can't imagine where I'd be today. Probably running three companies and still finding time to be chaotic about it.

For anyone with a busy brain — more ideas than hours in the day — this is the thing. You take an idea (or five, because of course it's five) and actually turn it into something real. Not someday. Now.

I currently have two computers running simultaneously. I'm only sitting at one of them. 👀

And we're not over here churning out flyers, friends. We're building systems, strategy, and a business that works as hard as I do — which, ask Lucy the dog, is saying something.

Give me an extra pair of hands or two and genuinely... watch out. 😄

Let's grow. 🌊

A sale that "closes smoothly" almost never happens by accident. Behind a clean closing is pricing that's actually defensible, marketing that reaches the right buyers, and a hundred small details tracked so none of them turn into a 9pm phone call.

On the listing side, the work I'm proudest of is the work you don't see — the issue spotted three weeks early, the document chased before anyone's waiting on it, the question answered before it becomes a worry. So when a seller tells me nothing fell through the cracks, that's the whole game right there.

Thinking about selling this year and want to know what the process actually looks like? Happy to walk you through it — no pressure.

Hurricane season opened this week, so here's the one piece of it that actually affects real estate timelines. The moment a named storm threatens Florida, insurance carriers stop writing new policies. Not raise prices — stop. And a financed purchase can't close without coverage in place. So if you're under contract this summer, bind your homeowner's policy early. The day after inspection is not too soon. Waiting until the week of closing works fine in February — in August it can park your closing behind a storm cone for days. Buying or selling this summer and want the timeline mapped out? I'm easy to reach.

There's a difference between knowing what a property is worth on paper and knowing what it's actually like to live on the water. I know the canals that go somewhere and the ones that dead-end. I know which docks face west and what that means for a Sunday evening. I know what birds show up at what tide, and yes, that matters to the right buyer. You don't learn that from MLS data. You learn it by living here. I don't just sell the waterfront lifestyle. I live it. Questions about a specific canal, neighborhood, or access point? I'm easy to reach.

Some mornings the canal does the marketing for me.

A dolphin works the channel at golden hour. No rush. No agenda. Just a reminder that you live somewhere most people only visit.

The quiet weekday mornings with coffee, the osprey that's decided your piling belongs to him now.

The house is the investment. This is the return.

Where's your favorite spot on the water out here?

The fastest way to sell your home for less? Overprice it for the first three weeks.

Your sharpest buyers are watching the day you list. Price above market and they wait. The home sits. The price drops. By the time it's "right," the listing already looks like something's wrong with it.

Homes that sell quickly tend to sell closest to ask. The ones that linger negotiate down — twice.

Price it right on day one. (Chart figures illustrative — real MLS numbers coming.)

Every waterfront buyer has some version of this conversation with me. And honestly? I'd rather have it before you fall in love with the dock than after.

"Gulf access" can mean a 15-minute cruise or a boat you'll never get under the bridge. The listing won't tell you which. I will.

Bring me the boat you actually want to keep — then we'll find the canal that fits it. Not the other way around.
