Having been raised in Port Orange, FL, I have seen the years of incredible change that have made the area such a desirable place to live; Living in New Smyrna Beach and then settling down in Edgewater, a city in southeast Volusia County. I have spent over 25 years in the public safety and healthcare industries, allowing me to witness a different side of people's lives and get to know them personally. It is this desire to help people in all of their stages in life that sets me apart from other realtors. Agraduate from the University of Florida, M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Construction Management, I have a strong understanding of construction and community planning in regard to topics such as land management, flood plain mitigation, and risk assessment.

Having a buyer’s agent ensures you have a professional looking out for your best interests, making the process smoother, more informed, and often more financially beneficial.
As a local realtor , I understand FEMA flood maps, historical flooding patterns, and which neighborhoods are most susceptible to flooding. I can help buyers determine if a home is in a high-risk flood zone and explain the potential implications. As a first responder within Volusia County, I have been where maps don't show prior flooding, where some sellers may not feel the need to disclose prior flooding.
As a local I have seen firsthand growth trends and where everything is going. The large MLS groups allow for members to be located in Tampa to Orlando, and list a home in New Smyrna Beach. Although it is faire to competition, it creates a disadvantage to buyers. Nobody knows Volusia County by land, water, or air than me. Let me use my local knowledge for your benefit.

When you buy a new construction, the home’s builder is considered the seller, and the agent representing the builder is called the builder’s agent. Their job is get the most money for the seller at all times. As the buyer's agent I can often negotiate with the builder on things like paint color or even the style of garage door, especially if the housing development is in the beginning stages. I will make sure that you’re getting the mortgage that works best for your situation. You don’t want the builder’s agent pressuring you into using their suggested professional unless it’s right for you.
