Why I chose this designation

Nearly 1000 people move to Florida every day.  It is a staggering statistic.  That brings buyers and ultimately sellers, that are from areas with different cultural needs and different real estate regulations.  In Sarasota and Manatee counties approximately 1 in 4 sales is to an international buyer bring additional complexity to the sale.  By studying and understanding different cultures, and having resources available I am able to help customers navigate the complex selling process and help them buy and sell with confidence.
