About

I moved to Fort Myers Beach in December of 2001 with my husband Ray.  We had been vacationing on Fort Myers Beach for many years.   Ray and I are formally from Algonquin, Illinois where we owned a restaurant for 24 years.   After many years of a very satisfying restaurant hospitality career I decided to transfer those unique set of skills to real estate.   In 2006 I received my real estate license.   Even though the market was tough I managed to jump right in persevering and working with sellers and buyers.   My first sale was a beach front home!    I have continued to work for my clients offering them honesty, integrity and my full attention.   I listen to what my sellers and buyers are telling me, working with them to achieve their goals!  I guide my clients along in the current market trends and hope to bring the local market knowledge to those who are new to the area and are not sure where they want to buy.

Realtors have optional education available to them.  I have continued in real estate studies to receive my GRI, Graduate Realtors Institute.  The Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) symbol is the mark of a real estate professional that has made the commitment to provide a high level of professional services by securing a strong educational foundation.

Selling and buying property are complex and stressful tasks. In fact, it's often the biggest single investment you will make in your lifetime. At the same time, real estate transactions have become increasingly complicated.

New technology, laws, procedures and the increasing sophistication of buyers and sellers requires real estate practitioners to perform at an ever-increasing level of professionalism.

GRI designees:

• Have pursued a course of study that represents the minimum common body of knowledge for progressive real estate professionals.
• Have developed a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to navigate the current real estate climate—no matter what its condition.
• Are recognized nationally.
• Act with professionalism and are committed to serving their clients and customers with the highest ethical standards.

Additionally, I have received the e-Pro Designation.  E-Pro is an Internet  Professional program approved by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) for its members.                                                                                                               The four core areas of study (arranged in modules) are:

1. Internet fundamentals (Internet service providers,electronic mailing lists,domain names andDNS).
2. E-mail communication methods and strategies for clients/customers.
3. The Web and its uses in developing a real estate business.
4. Other technology (hardware and software, both general purpose and real estate industry-specific).

SRS        Sellers Representative Specialist:

The Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation is the premier credential in seller representation. Agents belong to an elite group of trained seller client advocates.  It is designed to elevate professional standards and enhance personal performance.  The designation is awarded to real estate practitioners by the Real Estate Business Institute (REBI) who meet specific educational and practical experience criteria.
