Like Mae West once said, "I've done a lot of places and been a lot of things" and if you live long enough, that does seem to be so. So let me say "Im not as young as I look" and my life experiences have perfectly prepared me to serve your needs well.

My first career spanning 10 yrs was spent as a college arts professor, next 10 years as a journalist my by-line on everything from articles about fertility clinics to housing during the Atlanta Olympics. Soon it became evident that the arts, though somewhat glamorous, was not lucrative. 

It was only through real estate that I was able to achieve wealth owning ultimately two twelve (12) unit apartment buildings, numerous duplexes and single family homes. These properties I managed myself... and learned a lot about human nature.

It was those real estate experiences, lo these thirty years of buying and selling, that I now share with my clients. And happily, in this business, I've had the opportunity to work with wonderful people from young singles… to seniors who think young. These folks I now consider friends. And I'd be happy to provide YOU with name and numbers of folks who'll confirm my boast.

With them I've bought/sold property on Longboat Key up to Bent Tree, from South of Clark to North of 75.... and even as far as North Port.

To stay educated for YOU, I visit dozens of homes to keep current of pricing vs. product.... so that I'm knowledgeable enough to give guidance in helping YOU make the important decisions ahead.

With a database of buyers and sellers that span the globe, I constantly inform via internet, or phone, or in person about all the possibilities.

The goal being ....to make dreams come true be that finding the perfect place to live....or marketing your home to the world. 

As your real estate pro I use no guess work, rather research and hard work to find the best prices for you to consider.

Being able to work with a diverse group of folk means I can handle your negotiations, work with your inspectors, assist in finding trades people should the need arise.

And always, there is an unfailing desire to make it happen for YOU, in a painless, possitive way because be that a buying or selling experience, these are important, maybe even crucial decisions to be made.

Every day in Southwest Forida can feel like a weekend. I can show you how.

Longboat -- Gulf of Mexico Drive is flanked by fabulous condos, canal homes and golf communities just a tranquil few minutes from continental St. Armand's Circle

Lido -- walk to St. Armands Circle for dinner at a cafe, or watch the sunset from the beach or your own condo balcony

Siesta -- a downtown more like the 60s than the cafe society of Lido but drive the back roads and you'll sense the South of France, or ride Midnight Pass for a taste of Miami with everything from condos to homes with fabulous water views to homes that almost float on the Gulf

Downtown -- be it city views to water views enjoy walking to restaurants and movies and galleries and weekly markets featuring flowers and all manner of arts & crafts

Mainland Sarasota -- huge homes, villas, or condos close to shopping, golf, great schools...and minutes by car to the beach.

Venice, Ospry, Casey Key, Anna Maria....are all possibilities
