Before moving to Naples, I spent 22 years in retail management where customer service was of the utmost importance. I have resided in Naples since 1998 with my husband and 3 sons and have been a Real Estate Professional since 2005, working with John R. Wood Properties. John R. Wood is known for being a leader in Real Estate, being #1 in closed sales in or market as well as providing great training and marketing for its Realtors. As a Real Estate Professional, I have been very involved with volunteering at NABOR (Naples Area Board of Realtors) with Womens’ Council of Realtors (Past President of WCR Naples on the Gulf) and Business Network International.
I have received many awards including Top Producer Awards and Gulf Shore Life best in Client Satisfaction. I have several designations and certifications so that I can better serve my customers depending on their needs.
I believe in providing the best customer service possible for my customers by listening to their needs and paying close attention to detail. I work closely with buyers and sellers to ensure a smooth transaction from the first contact through closing and beyond.
