I have always loved marketing and negotiating…ALWAYS! It started in elementary school, I spent a good amount of my time with my dad in work settings and he would always share this is why you do this, this is why you do that, this is how you handle this type of situation, etc. When I had fundraising sales with school, I would set a goal and then create a marketing plan and strategically plan how to finish with the most sales, and I did! Learning about business management and marketing at a young age combined with my competitiveness grew into developing small businesses in high school and by my senior year of high school, I was working at a real estate office marketing for real estate agents. This is where my genuine love for real estate began. When I learned my passion for negotiating, marketing and business management could be merged with my love for community, homes, and people… I knew I hit the jackpot!
How it began
I continued working with real estate agents throughout college. I changed my area of study from law to English, Technical and Professional Writing where I learned how to code and develop web sites and strengthen my writing skills. After graduating from the University of South Florida, I decided the best way to become the best real estate agent is to learn every aspect of a transaction. I went to work in office management to learn what happens in a real estate office and this lead to one of the most successful agents in the area taking me under her wing and sharing her experience and knowledge with me on a daily basis. I then decided working for an attorney doing closings was my next step and in 1998 I was ready to become a real estate agent. I had only one real estate firm in mind, Michael Saunders & Company, and at the age of 23, I became the youngest real estate agent Michael ever brought on board since she started the company in 1976.
I married my high school sweetheart and my career was in full swing, until I was told by my physician to put it on hold. Six pregnancies, four births and two miscarriages in six years guided my career in a different path and for nearly a decade I worked in construction, web design and marketing, and had slowed my real estate down to just working with Marriott/Ritz Carlton corporate relocations. The main area of professional focus that I have maintained since day one is I specialize in communication and education. I firmly believe that providing continuous communication and thorough education provides my clients unparalleled service and opportunity as we work together to build their real estate investment.
Real Estate, Marketing, Negotiating, Construction
Throughout these years, I built an in-depth knowledge of new construction, remodeling, business development, marketing, and real estate and learned how my knowledge and experience creates an extraordinary opportunity to better assist clients with buying, selling, and building their real estate investments.
Partnering with the best in the business
Every relationship in life is a partnership. You form a partnership with your spouse, your colleagues, your kids, your friends, your family, your doctors, anyone you associate yourself with. A partnership is when people listen to each other and work together to accomplish a common goal while care, support, and value are shared. I chose to partner professionally with PARKS because I believe they are the best in every aspect of real estate, business, and professionalism. I chose to partner with PARKS because I believe together, we provide my clients with the best marketing, eduction, and representation.
My quality assurance commitment to clients
I have dedicated over two decades working within my community building relationships and partnerships, educating myself in all aspects of real estate, marketing, networking, communicating to best serve my clients. I have established The Money Collective as a full service real estate experience to assist my clients as a trusted and reliable advisor with not only relocating and building real estate portfolios but bettering their lifestyles as well. I pride myself on my commitment to my clients, being the one they know they can count on, and the one they know will go above and beyond to provide them with only the best in every aspect.
