A little proof that being a Lakewood Ranch real estate agent is way more random than it looks.

My camera roll is basically equal parts houses, screenshots I swear I'll need later, notes to myself, weirdly specific home details, and the occasional coffee keeping the whole thing moving.

It may not look glamorous, but it's a pretty accurate snapshot of what the job actually looks like between the closings and polished posts.

UNDER CONTRACT + BUILDING THEIR FLORIDA HOME 🏡

So excited for my buyers who are officially under contract and starting the process of building their brand-new home here in Florida!

A lot of buyers assume they don’t need their own Realtor when buying new construction because the builder already has a sales team.

But here’s the important part: the builder’s sales team represents the builder. Your Realtor represents YOU.

And this one is a perfect example of why that matters.

By working with my buyers throughout the process, I was able to help them secure additional design credits AND better closing-cost incentives than what was being publicly advertised.

That means more money to personalize their new home AND more savings at closing.

But representation in new construction goes far beyond incentives. I’m there to help my clients compare builders and communities, understand what they’re signing, ask the right questions, navigate inspections and walkthroughs, keep an eye on the build process and advocate for them all the way through closing.

That becomes even more valuable when you’re relocating to Florida and building from out of state.

Now comes the exciting part — watching their new Florida home come to life from the ground up! 🤍

If you’re considering relocating to Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Parrish or the surrounding areas and new construction is on your radar, talk to me before you walk into the builder’s sales center.

The advertised offer isn’t always the only opportunity available — and having someone who knows what to ask for can make a difference.

📩 DM me “BUILD” and I’ll help you figure out which communities, builders and opportunities make the most sense for you.

How to spot an agent worth referring in Lakewood Ranch, FL

It's not just someone who knows the market or has hundreds of closings under their belt.

It's the agent who knows how to protect the people you send their way.

The agent worth referring is the one who can tell when a repair is worth pushing for, when an offer needs a closer look, when the house has red flags your friend might miss, or when the best advice is, "I know you love it, but I do not think this is the one." You are trusting someone with your friend, your coworker, your neighbor, or your family member, and I never forget that there is a real relationship behind every name sent my way.

If a friend of yours is buying or selling in Lakewood Ranch, FL (or anywhere in the Sarasota- Bradenton area, send them my way. I would be honored to help.

✨PENDING IN CENTRAL FLORIDA! ✨

One of my favorite parts of this job isn’t just helping people buy homes—it’s earning the kind of trust that gets passed from one person to another.

While Lakewood Ranch will always be home base for me, I love helping clients find the right place to call home throughout Florida.

This time, I had the privilege of helping someone who was referred to me by a friend. There are so many amazing Realtors out there, so when someone trusts you to help one of the people who matters most to them, it’s a responsibility I never take lightly.

Every phone call, every showing, every question, and every step of the process matters because I’m not just helping a client. I’m helping someone who is important to the people who placed their trust in me.

Congratulations on finding your Florida home! I couldn’t be more excited for everything this next chapter has in store for you. 🌴

The greatest compliment I can receive is being trusted with the people who matter most to you. To everyone who has referred a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor—thank you. Your confidence in me is something I value deeply, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to help another client find their place in Florida.

There's a reason so many Northeast families are choosing Lakewood Ranch for their next chapter.

More than a master-planned community, Lakewood Ranch offers a lifestyle centered around convenience, connection, and year-round outdoor living.

Spend your mornings enjoying coffee along the waterfront at Waterside Place, your weekends exploring the award-winning farmers market, community events, live music, and outdoor festivals, and your evenings dining at some of the area's most popular restaurants.

With beautiful neighborhoods, resort-style amenities, championship golf, miles of walking and biking trails, top-rated schools, and easy access to Sarasota's world-renowned beaches, Lakewood Ranch has become one of the most desirable places to live in Florida.

As someone who made the move from New York myself, I understand what relocation buyers are looking for-and why so many fall in love with the lifestyle here.

If you've been considering a move to Florida, I'd be happy to help you explore whether Lakewood Ranch is the right fit for you.

The underrated reasons why living in Lakewood Ranch, FL is the only choice.

The kind of stuff you'd actually miss if you ever left, even if you've stopped noticing it on the day to day.

It's not the big landmark moments or the things that make it onto a tourist site. It's the small, repeatable, woven-into-the-week stuff that makes a place really feel like home — Christmas time around UTC with the lights + music, a cozy coffee run to Atria and "accidentally" staying long enough to catch up with someone you know, kids playing outside until the sun dips low and those "let's just pop into Waterside Place" evenings that turn into dinner.

Most people think buying a home starts with opening Zillow… but that’s actually one of the last steps.

The buyers who have the smoothest experience (and end up loving where they live) are the ones who start with a plan first.

Before we ever tour homes, we talk about your lifestyle, your goals, your budget, and what you’re really looking for. Lakewood Ranch has so many different neighborhoods, builders, amenities, and price points, and having a clear game plan makes the entire process so much less overwhelming.

This is honestly one of the most important parts of buying a home, and it’s something I spend a lot of time with my clients on.

If you’re thinking about buying in Lakewood Ranch this year, don’t just start scrolling listings. Start with a roadmap.
Comment MAP and I’ll send you my free Lakewood Ranch Buyer Roadmap so you know exactly what to expect before you start your home search.

When this family reached out about relocating to Florida from New York, their excitement and vision for this next chapter stood out right away. From our very first phone call, it was clear how important it was to them to find not just a house, but a place where their family could truly feel at home.

As someone who also relocated to Florida, I understand that moving isn’t just about finding a house. It’s about finding the right community, the right lifestyle, and having someone you trust to guide you through the unknown.

My goal was to make the process feel as seamless as possible helping them explore different communities, sharing my local insight, being their eyes and ears here in Florida, and guiding them through their new construction journey every step of the way.

I wanted them to feel confident knowing they had someone in their corner, even from miles away.

The best part of this career is that sometimes clients become friends. ❤️

I’m so grateful for their trust and honored to have been part of such an important chapter in their lives. Helping families relocate to Florida and find their place here is exactly why I love what I do.

If you’re thinking about making a move to Florida, I’d love to help you navigate the journey from wherever you’re starting.
