When I was two years old my family left Missouri for the Sunshine State and Gainesville has been my home ever since. My brother and I were raised in the rural Alachua area and my father worked for Driltech and my mother worked for General Electric.
I attended our public schools and Santa Fe College, my oldest son is a successful product of our school system, I have one child in middle school and another in high school. Our system is complicated and you need someone who really understands its advantages to help you make decisions about the wonderful educational opportunities in our community.

Before I found a career in real estate I worked in the College of Veterinary Medicine, where I acquired in depth knowledge of the workings of the huge and complex University of Florida. If you are coming to UF, talk to me first. I can make the move much smoother for you. And if you want to adopt a pet, I am the one who can give first hand advice.

After a stint in property management, where I could take my children to work with me, I took the Florida Real Estate exam and passed with glowing colors. I earned the “Rookie of the Year” award in my very first year and went on to earn the President’s Award with Watson Realty. I knew my work was respected when the elite, boutique Elwood Realty invited my to join their select group of highly experienced Realtors. When Elwood Realty merged with the other boutique agency in Gainesville, the Thomas Group, I was delighted to be part of that forward thinking merger.

Two years ago Jean Chalmers, one of Gainesville’s top Realtors asked me to co-list everything with her and we have been a team ever since. We are well known for our 24 hour service, our knowledge of pricing in this market, excellent staging and our superb presentation on the internet, from which 80% of all buyers’ searches begin. We list everything from $100,000 to $1,000,000 and give all listings the same highly professional care.
