I look forward to helping you achieve all your real estate goals!
Born and raised in the greater Fort Lauderdale area, I'm very familiar with and love the area! I attended real estate school right after high school graduation.
I have been in the real estate business since 2004, working as a full time REALTOR® with Century 21® Hansen since 2008. As a graduate of Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton, FL) with a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting and backed by one of the largest real estate companies in the world, not only do I have access to the best marketing tools and exposure in the industry, but also understand the financial impacts of real estate transactions. Buying and selling real estate can be a very emotional time so I strive to establish an honest and caring relationship with each of my clients. It takes honesty and truth up-front to achieve such a relationship. I assure you that when you list your home with me, I will handle the sale with the highest level of professionalism exceeding your every expectation. When buying a home, I will guide you through each step from the search, to contract negotiation, through inspections and appraisal, obtaining financing and insurance, and any other need all the way to closing. By using my expertise, results are guaranteed.
I have been a Top Producer since I started selling real estate. Named "Rookie of the Year" my first year in business, "Top Producer 2010" at my office, "Masters Ruby 2011," "Centurion 2012," "Masters Diamond 2013" by Century 21, and multiple "Quality Service" Awards, it's easy to see that I take pride in my work and provide results. I love working with people and truly care!
Because I am so passionate about real estate, I am very involved with our industry. I am not just a follower but a leader! I serve on multiple committees both on the local and state levels. I currently serve as President for the Women's Council of REALTORS® Broward Chapter and am Immediate Past Chair for the Greater Fort Lauderdale REALTOR® Association Young Professionals Network (YPN). I am also a major contributor to our REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) and have sought many industry designations, including Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Transnational Referral Certified (TRC), Performance Management Network (PMN), and Accredited Commercial Professional (ACP). This participation sets me apart from other real estate agents as I stay on top of the market trends and legal updates along with establishing life long relationships with professionals that will make your transaction smoother and less stressful.
I am also very involved with the community. I currently serve as the Vice President of Academics for the Broward County Gator Club®, whose purpose is to foster the relationship between the local community and the University of Florida (UF). The charity gives away over $20,000 in scholarships to Broward County seniors each year. (www.browardcountygatorclub.com) I am a member and Assistant Treasurer of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Fontenada Chapter located in Pompano Beach, FL. DAR is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children. (http://fontenadadar.org/) (www.dar.org/). I also participate in many community service activities and events throughout the year benefiting many local and national charities.
