| I was born in San Antonio, Texas, although I have lived in many different cities growing up, including Reno, Nevada, Kansas City, Missouri, and Tampa, Florida. My father is an Urban Planner and city development and design were always topics of discussion around my house. I spent my summers travelling extensively throughout the United States with my grandparents. I have seen many different cities change and develop throughout the United States in the past 30+ years.
I went to college at the University of Florida to study Interior Design, but was converted to Art History & Criticism, which I eventually received my Bachelor's degree in. Afterwards, I went back to the College of Architecture, where I attended graduate school for Urban Design and Planning. Wanting to travel some more, I moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I worked for US Airways as a Flight Attendant. A few years later, I decided to move to Springfield in Jacksonville. My husband & I renovated our 1905 bunglaow in Historic Springfield. I took the training to become a Real Estate Appraiser. Then, I got my license in real estate. I started working for the boutique brokerage, Streetscape, specializing in Historic Neighborhoods. Streetscape was purchased by Lifestyles, Realtors and I worked for them for a year before moving to RE/MAX Specialists in Avondale. My unique background and experience renovating translates into extensive understanding, not only of historic homes and real estate transactions, but also of real estate development and investment. I have worked with homebuyers and sellers, investors, & renovators. My knowledge and experience can help you make the right decision where and when to buy. My intimate knowledge of the real estate transaction will make the process as smooth as possible, ensuring an on-time closing. If you are selling, I will work closely with you to ensure you understand the market you are in and price your home as competatively as possible to get it sold for the most the market will allow. |
