As a transplant from MN, I’ve been a New Smyrna resident for only 5 years, but I was a devoted annual visitor for 25 years before relocating. I’m very acquainted with Volusia County. I’ve been a licensed Realtor since 2015 and love guiding people on their journey to homeownership. In addition to being a Realtor, I also work for an exterior home remodeling company, specifically dealing with storm related insurance claims. My knowledge of the claims industry has been very beneficial to buyers, sellers and home inspectors when issues arise during a home inspection. I have a keen eye for spotting potential damage, and I know how to seamlessly navigate the muddy waters of the claims process. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell or rent, I would love the opportunity to support your ambition!
