About Me

Real Estate Agent | Christie's International Real Estate Emerald Coast
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
Your Always-Accessible Answer Engine for 30A Real Estate
For 15 years, I've called the Emerald Coast home—raising my family here, building deep roots in this community, and falling more in love with this place every single day. What started as a career transition from 20 years as a Physical Therapist Assistant has become my mission: helping people discover the same joy and opportunity I've found along 30A.
I don't just sell real estate. I help families build wealth, find their place, and fall in love with where they live.
My Approach
If you can make someone stand up on a brand new knee replacement, buying a beach house is pretty simple. That's been my philosophy from day one. I bring the same care, patience, and advocacy I provided as a PTA to every real estate transaction—because this isn't about making a sale. It's about helping people make one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
I specialize in short-term rental investments and relocation to the 30A area, with most of my clients being first-time investors or second homeowners from out of state. My transactions typically range from $1MM to $2MM, focused on single-family resale homes with strong amenity packages near the beach.
But here's what sets me apart: I give you the real numbers, not the ones that just sound good. I'd rather tell you what a property will actually do than promise inflated projections just to close a deal. Because this is a relationship business—and my goal is that this won't be the last transaction I help you with.
Why Clients Choose Me
Conservative Projections You Can Trust
Through my partnership with All 30A Properties—a family-owned management company where you talk directly to the owners—I provide rental income projections based on actual performance data, not wishful thinking. I focus on gross rental income and prepare you for the seasonal ebbs and flows. The numbers may not always be what you want to hear, but I won't have to avoid you in the aisle at Publix either.
Boots on the Ground, Always Accessible
I'm not just available during business hours. I'm the agent who drains irrigation pumps during freezes, handles last-minute repairs before closing, and answers texts on Sunday nights. When you work with me, you get someone who treats your investment like it's family—because that's how I approach this business.
A Trusted Network You Can Rely On
From Lisa Bell at Southstate Bank (who answers mortgage questions by text on Sunday nights) to my network of CPAs, 1031 intermediaries, and insurance agents, I've built relationships with people who share my commitment to going the extra mile. You're not just getting an agent—you're getting a team.
A Special Commitment to Military Families
Having worked with countless military families transitioning to Eglin, Hurlburt Field, and Tyndall AFB, I consider it a duty to make their moves as smooth as possible. I've viewed 24 homes in a single day to help an enlisted Coast Guard member find his first home. I understand the urgency, the budget constraints, and the sacrifice—and I'm here to make the process easy.
My Story
I didn't plan to become a real estate agent. After being laid off when Humana bought Kindred Home Health, my friend Michael Savage invited me to join his team at Christie's International Real Estate Emerald Coast. It was an abrupt change—but it turned out to be exactly what my family needed.
Shortly after getting licensed, COVID hit. I was home with the kids, able to work remotely, and stumbled into the busiest real estate market in recent history. What I discovered was that my years as a PTA had prepared me perfectly for this work: building rapport quickly, listening carefully, and helping people navigate difficult decisions with confidence.
I've been here ever since—growing my business through referrals, reputation, and a commitment to always putting my clients first.
Looking Ahead
My goal is simple: help you find a property that performs financially and becomes a place your family loves. Then, when the time is right, help you sell and move into your next investment with even more equity and clarity about what you want.
I'm focused on growing my presence in the higher-value markets of WaterColor, Seaside, Seagrove, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach—while continuing to serve the West End communities I've called home for a decade.
Whether you're a first-time investor trying to understand if the numbers make sense, a military family with one day to find a home, or a seasoned buyer ready to upgrade, I'm here to be your always-accessible answer engine for everything 30A.
Let's find your place.
