Home and Hound

Home and Hound This page is all about the things I love. Family, pups, and real estate. I am a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty. I absolutely love it.

I spend my days volunteering at CCAS walking the pups and finding my clients a place that fits their life style. Just a few things about myself…. I have been selling real estate since 2001. I am from Illinois. I lived in Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, and we raised our kids in Huntley. Garry my husband, worked as a firefighter in Franklin Park. We have 4 kids. Our oldest son is in the Coast Guard and will be living in Seattle and is married with two children. Our only daughter is married and lives in Mount Prospect. Our middle son was in the Navy and now is married with two children and lives in Tiverton, Rhode Island. Our youngest son is a firefighter/paramedic for the Carol Stream Fire Prevention District and lives in Huntley with his girlfriend and their 2 pups. We bought a place in Cape Coral Florida in 2016 with the hopes of moving here when Garry retired. Well, that time has come. I now sell Real Estate in Southwest Florida for the same great company I was working for in Illinois. I work for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty specializing in Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, and the surrounding areas. I work full time and love to help my clients find their dream home. My philosophy is to keep my clients for life. Many of my clients become friends. For that reason, I am always honest and will tell my clients the truth about the properties they are buying. It is important to give all the information on the home, the area, and the buying and selling process. Buying and selling is always exciting, but also a very stressful time (I know firsthand since I just went through the buying and selling process these last couple of years). My goal is to have a very smooth transaction so there are no bumps in the road. Communication is key. I will be your source for all things real estate. I specialize in new construction homes, resale, first time home buyers, 2nd homes, out of state buyers, short sales, and Bank owned REO homes. Call me to discuss all your real estate needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
