Since 1993, I have specialized in Luxury & Resort Properties, as well as Commercial Sales and Leasing, from Destin to 30A and the surrounding coastal communities. Having witnessed decades of tremendous development and growth, I possess a deep, firsthand understanding of the premier investment opportunities this unique market offers.
My career is built on a foundation of honesty and strong client advocacy. My core strengths lie in negotiating optimal prices and terms, mastering complex contracts, and protecting my clients' capital and peace of mind throughout the transaction process. Over the years, this dedication fueled my entry into the Keller Williams Luxury Division, my tenure as a Director of KW Commercial, and leading the top team in closed sales volume in 2008.
"My philosophy is simple: whether you are acquiring a premier gulf-front estate or an entry-level investment property, every client receives my highest level of dedication. By moving away from a large-team philosophy, I provide a hands-on, personalized experience. There is immense satisfaction in helping people reach these milestone goals.
I offer free consultations.

Representation, or “Agency”
In the state of Florida, by default the relationship between the agent and buyer, or seller, is referred to as a Transaction Agency. This means the agent doesn’t truly represent you. They represent the transaction. I and other Keller Williams Realty Emerald Coast agents work as a Single Agency, meaning I represent my clients 100%. For instance, if I learn the other party is desperate to buy, or sell, I can tell you what I know, because it is my fiduciary responsibility to protect your best interests. Ethically, Transaction Agency agents cannot, unless given permission to. They still must deal honestly and fairly; They can’t give you the “inside scoop.” Single Agency agents must give notice of their relationship, whereas Transaction Agency agents do not.
