Welcome to Sarasota
Considering moving to the area? I know the local area, both as an agent and as a neighbor, and can help make this transition seamless for you.
If you’re thinking about making Sarasota your home, congratulations—you’re considering a truly special place to live. Whether you’re relocating to the area, moving closer to family, looking for a vacation home, or simply ready for a change, buying a home in a new community can be both exciting and overwhelming.
With a real estate career spanning four decades, I bring experience from two very different coastal markets. I began my career on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, in 1986 and moved to Sarasota in 2005. Today, I combine that experience with firsthand knowledge of the Sarasota area and its many unique communities
That’s were I can help.

Start With the Right Location
Sarasota offers an incredible variety of communities and lifestyles. You might be looking for the relaxed beach lifestyle of Siesta Key, the coastal elegance of Longboat Key, the energy of Downtown Sarasota, or a neighborhood farther inland.
Every area has its own personality, advantages, and considerations.
I can help you compare neighborhoods and communities based on the things that matter most to you—from proximity to beaches, restaurants and shopping to schools, commute times, property taxes, community amenities and more.
And because I live and work here, I can offer something that goes beyond the information you’ll find online: local knowledge and firsthand experience.
Know What to Expect
The home-buying process has several important steps, and understanding what comes next can make the experience much easier.
From getting pre-approved and narrowing down your search to making an offer, negotiating terms, completing inspections and navigating the closing process, I’ll be there to help you understand your options and keep everything moving forward.
My goal is not simply to open doors and show you houses. It’s to be your resource, advocate and guide throughout the entire purchase.
Finding Your Sarasota Home
Once we know what you’re looking for, I can help you identify properties that fit your needs, arrange showings and provide information to help you make informed decisions.
And when you find the one that feels right, I’ll help you evaluate the property, determine an appropriate offer strategy and negotiate on your behalf.
Buying a home is a significant investment. Having an experienced local professional in your corner can make a real difference.
More Than a Real Estate Transaction
One of my favorite parts of working with buyers who are new to Sarasota is helping them discover the community—not just the house.
I’m happy to share suggestions for restaurants, beaches, local attractions, shopping, entertainment and the many things that make Sarasota such a wonderful place to live.
