With over 40 years of real estate experience and three generations of local expertise, I am a trusted authority in luxury and lifestyle real estate in New Smyrna Beach. As the founder of NSB Homes, I have built a reputation for excellence, professionalism, and unmatched market knowledge. Passionate about helping clients create legacy properties, I have had the privilege of guiding thousands of families in finding their dream homes, investment properties, and vacation retreats.
At NSB Homes, Luxury and Lifestyle Group, I lead a dedicated team of professionals who prioritize discretion, client satisfaction, and innovative marketing strategies. From charming coastal cottages to multi-million-dollar estates, I understand the nuances of buying, selling, and investing in the distinctive New Smyrna Beach market.
I am known for combining a deep understanding of the local community with a creative approach to marketing, ensuring that every listing is presented with style and sophistication. Beyond the transaction, I am deeply committed to building lasting relationships with my clients, fostering trust, and delivering an exceptional real estate experience.
When I’m not working, I enjoy unwinding at my family’s mountain river retreat, where the beauty of nature inspires my ongoing passion for helping others discover their perfect lifestyle homes.
