Realtor. Doesn’t always mean showing homes, negotiating and paperwork

Sometimes it means measuring rooms for out of state clients.

I’ve heard it all.

But the truth is — I don’t make excuses. I show up.

I’ve taken calls from the ICU while my mom fought for her life.
After C-sections.
In the middle of airports.

I’ve hidden in closets, run across yards, and locked myself in my car just to get a few quiet minutes to talk with a client.

Because I truly love what I do.

Helping people find the right home in the right place isn’t just a job to me — it’s something I’m passionate about.

Allow me the opportunity to pass that passion on to you. ❤️

When I first started in real estate, we didn’t have the support around us to have a sitter on stand by. If I had established clients (with their approval of course), I would show homes with both my boys. To this day, I sometimes have to include them on a showing. I didn’t want my buyers to miss out on a home just because I was a mom.

Every single time, my clients didn’t mind.

Here is my now almost 5 year old, smiling ear to ear in a strangers house as I try to sell my clients a home :)

Insurance in Florida is a crazy animal, especially when you couple it with mortgages that sell in the secondary market.

You got a letter you have a new mortgage company.
Here are the steps for a smooth transition:
1. Call your mortgage provider or log on to their site. Update your payment while you’re there and make sure they have your current insurance company.
2. Call your insurance or email them and tell them the mortgage company changed. Update them with the new info so that when the premium is due, they know where to send it.

If you have a mortgage, insurance is required. If there is ANY lapse in coverage or you somehow miss that the insurance is about to cancel for non payment ( 🗣️WHO YOU HIRE FOR INSURANCE MATTERS), this can lead to lender placed insurance.

This can be 3-5x the cost.

Ask me how I know this 😡

Any questions? DM me.

Looking to get the BEST deal on a home?

Follow these 3 rules
1. Home is on the market for 60+ days
2. Seller/current owner has owned it for 3+ years
3. There is a need based sale. Home is vacant or you find out seller is moving for job, family, etc.

Each home we upgraded, each time we thought for different reasons it would be the one. We grew our family and believed it could be our forever home — until life shifted again.

With every move, we built a little more equity and took another step toward our next investment.

Before that first home, it was just an apartment we shared with a roommate — three of us splitting $1,200 a month.

These days, it feels like everyone wants to start with their dream home. And you do deserve it — but sometimes it takes a decade to get there.

It’s not always about having it all right out of college; it’s about building it piece by piece.

When I work with clients, I help capture that dream while staying grounded — because the goal isn’t just to own a house, it’s to have the freedom to truly live in it. 🏡✨

Lost a listing.
It was overpriced — and right now, new builds are where it’s at. Can we scream from top of the roof that a 3.99% 7 year ARM Or a 4.875% 30 year fixed is AMAZING???

I’ve toured 3 new home builders this week alone (and have several more lined up) — all offering insane incentives that resale homes just can’t compete with.

This year, I’ve listed 3 resale homes. Each seller faced the same decision:
💰 Reduce price and sell for less
🚪 Pull it off the market
😬 Or… switch realtors and sell for exactly what I was telling them… they just had to hear it from someone else 🤦🏼‍♀️

Accountability is hard. I get it. I’ll be your punching bag 😂
But facts are facts — the new construction market is winning right now.

⚠️ Trigger Warning

I was once set on becoming a PA. I did the volunteering, the honors degree, the years in medicine.

But the trauma of that field never leaves you—like losing an 8-month pregnant woman to he**in overdose, or procuring a baby’s heart in order to save another child. Those memories live deep.

Now in real estate, people see our commissions and immediately go into attack mode. What they don’t see are the sleepless nights, hard negotiations, and sacrifices.

Every career demands something—the question is, what are you willing to give?

You don’t want to use a realtor? I’m fine with that. I don’t like to use traditional doctors. We all have preferences :)

My promise: I’ll always fight for my clients. I’m never greedy if it means protecting their best interests. Because I lead with my heart, but I’m also a shark and I don’t back down…
