Real Estate Consultant, GRI License ID: 3221283

I'm a South Jersey gal, born and raised in Atlantic City, NJ who relocated with my husband Zak from Alexandria, VA. to Cape Coral in 2008. As a retired paralegal with 35 years of experience with a diversified background in bankruptcy, family law, personal injury and criminal defense, mediator for Superior Court of NJ and US Bankruptcy Court District of NJ, I wanted to do something FUN for work. So I decided to become a Real Estate Consultant. Buyers and Sellers have a distinct advantage when working with me with the knowledge and skills I acquired over that time period. SWFL has many great places to live. There is so much to do for everyone here in Lee County. FL. Cape Coral, St. James City, Bokeelia (Pine Island), North Fort Myers, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers Beach, Estero, Bonita Springs, Sanibel and Captiva are the areas I cover. I'll be happy to help you in search for a home here. 

 

Since 2009, my clients have received seamless assistance with their real estate transactions.  Better yet, Buyers and Sellers get to work with a consistently hard working real estate consultant who provides guidance with a realistic outlook on Buyers and Sellers can expect to achieve in today’s market.

 

Yes I'm a "Water Rat" and you'll find me on the water when not working. Along with my husband, I am a member of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) in Cape Coral. I'm a "ParrotHead" and a member of Washington Area Parrothead Club. In the past I was the Trainer Co-Ordinator of the famed Atlantic City Around The Island Swim and have served as an Open Water Distance Trainer for marathon swimmers in Atlantic City, New York City, and Lake St. Johns.  I enjoy spending time with my son’s, daughter in laws and grandchildren.  

 

So come on what are you waiting for . . . Let me sell you your own piece of "Parrotdise" today.
