I started in real estate in 2005 on the development side in Miami, as Director of Marketing and Sales Office Manager for Ten Museum Park, a 200-unit condominium tower downtown. That meant working every day with architects, engineers, construction teams, banks, and the brokers selling the units.
That background shapes how I work with luxury home builders, sellers, and buyers today. I can read a set of plans, talk through construction and timelines, and price a home off what is actually closing.
