My Journey in Real Estate
 
I started my career in 1992 at SunTrust Bank in the mortgage department. Over the next 24 years, I worked my way through various roles—from receptionist to mortgage loan processor, construction manager, and ultimately a mortgage loan officer. My experience in financing, new construction, and customer service has given me a unique, well-rounded perspective on the buying and selling process.
 
Falling in Love with Sanibel
 
My connection to Sanibel started in the early '90s when my husband, Mark, introduced me to the island. We fell in love with its charm, and in 2012, we purchased our first home here. We split our time between here and Chattanooga until 2016, when we made the move to Sanibel full-time. That’s when I began my real estate career with Pfeifer Realty Group. Now, I live in Shell Harbor, enjoying boating, biking, beach walks with our dog Coco, and the island’s breathtaking natural beauty.
A Personal Approach to Real Estate
 
For me, real estate is about relationships. I’ve had the privilege of helping countless clients, many of whom have become lifelong friends and neighbors. I believe in a hands-on, personal approach, offering you my years of experience and knowledge of the local market to guide you through the process. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, I’ll be with you every step of the way, offering my expertise and support.
Community Involvement and Service
 
I’m proud to serve my community here on the islands. As a board member of the Sanibel Captiva Association of Realtors and a participant in several local committees, I’ve helped organize fundraising events, beach cleanups, and water quality awareness efforts. In 2020, I was honored to receive the “Community Service Award” from the Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors for my contributions.

I honestly don’t have enough words to thank you for everything you did to help us sell our home in a relatively quiet market. You weren’t just our agent but a friend as well. Your support meant so much to us. From start to finish, your guidance, professionalism, and attention to detail made this a smooth and successful process. We truly appreciated your expertise, constant communication, and willingness to go above and beyond. Thanks again for everything-working with you was a great experience, but I knew it would be. Wishing you continued success! By the way, I just loved your video… you’re a natural.
