COASTAL REALTY SERVICES BROKERS

I can honestly say, I've learned the real estate business from the ground up. In the afternoons after high school, I'd dig post holes in the front yards of new listings, mow yards and paint for my parents new real estate office. After going to the University of Florida and earning my degree in Business Computer Science and then the University of West Florida earning my Master's degree in Business Administration, I received my salesperson's real estate license and then soon thereafter my broker's license in 1985. Since then I've worked every aspect of a general real estate brokerage business. I've also participate in local, state and national Realtor association leadership and advocacy. I love to fly general aviation and am currently working on my Instrument rating.

My parents began working in real estate when I attended Fort Walton Beach High School.. I suppose you could say I was raised in real estate. As a young person, I painted apartments, cleaned and helped in the office. All topics of real estate were discussed around the dinner table. In 1993 I returned to the Fort Walton Beach/Destin area and began working real estate in earnest. Having been in the large convention hotel business for a number of years, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the job...in fact, I loved it. Twenty five years later I still love it. I have an extensive background in real estate investing, development, sales, property management and office management.
