I grew up in the Pittsburgh area, and at the age of seven, visited the New Jersey beach for the first time. As I was listening to my parents make conversation with our waitress one morning at breakfast, it suddenly dawned on me that there are people who actually live in vacation towns; they never have to ‘go home.' From that point, it became my dream to someday live at the beach; to be one of the fortunate few who do not have to pack up and return home at the end of the week. Just as my dream finally came to fruition, I hope to make other's property ownership dreams come true.
That’s my beach story. What’s yours? Give me a call – because you’ll never know how many friends you have until you own a home at the beach!

Dina's Reviews
2/7/18Troy Giles
I first became interested in a condo at SPI after my first visit in June, 2017 and immediately attempted to put in an offer; however, that unit was no longer available. Dina began searching for a unit to meet my needs. Within the next couple of months, she would send me emails regarding new listing, but living in CA, it was not easy to appreciate the units. Dina was everything that I like in an agent. She kept me updated but not overbearing. She was patient and honest about the SPI market and when the right one came along, we made an offer. I had never met Dina in person, my wife had never been to SPI and we never visited the unit we purchased. Our only intel were the posted photos, which are usually better than the real deal, and a Face Time Video Tour of the unit. We trusted Dina with her expertise of the local market and negotiated a purchase. Flew in on 12/19/2017 and took possession. Love our Ocean front unit, which we could never afford in CA. We met Dina as she came over and surprised us with a very nice house warming gift. We were right about Dina.............. great agent and a genuine person. Can't go wrong with Dina as your agent. -- Manny S

Dina is really an excellent agent and person, she made my buying experience very good. She researched the properties very well, made every effort to show them quick, and she was very formal and helpful all the way through the closing, and after that. -- Armando E
