I have followed an interesting path into real estate.  After completing my bachelor’s degree in economics at Villanova and my MBA at Pepperdine University, I worked in sales and consulting for some of the world’s top technology companies, most notably Lexmark and Hewlett Packard.  Working in integral positions within these great companies provided me with invaluable negotiating and sales experience, which has proven extremely useful in real estate.
 
In 1994, while still working in sales, I began investing in real estate.  I found great joy in taking promising properties that required a little work and turning them into true dream homes.  Over the next few years, as my real estate portfolio grew, so did my interest in real estate.  It wasn’t long before my hobby was bringing me tremendous financial rewards.
 
In 2005, I followed my passion and success into a full-time real estate career.  The switch into real estate has been everything I hoped it would be—and more.  I feel blessed by the support and recognition I have received from the industry.  In my first year, I was awarded the 2005 Top Rising Star Award for Shorewood Realtors, an award reserved for the top-ranked new agent each year.  In addition to being number 1 out of 99 new agents at Shorewood Realtors, I also landed in the top 5% of realtors nationwide.  Since 2006, my business has continued to expand at a rapid pace.  As a South Bay specialist, I now have over $80 million in residential and income property sales under my belt.  I’m a Top Producer who consistently ranks in the top 1% of realtors nationwide, and I’m a Residential and Income Property Specialist and an Accredited Buyer Representative.  Some of my notable accomplishments include:
 
v  Top Rising Star in 2005 (#1 out of 99 agents)
v  Top 5% of realtors nationwide as a rookie in 2005
v  Top 1% of realtors nationwide (2007-2011)
v  Agent for the highest recorded sale in the South Bay Beach Cities area ($12.6M)
v  #1 South Bay Agent   Palm Realty Boutique 2011
 
I enjoy working with close friends and referrals to bring them closer to their dreams—whether it’s a dream home or an investment opportunity.  Working with referrals from my circle of friends sustains my business and is what, I truly believe, makes my work so rewarding.
