My husband and I moved to Crystal River, Florida, in 1990 from Newfoundland, New Jersey. We had our two sons in Florida in 1992 and 1995.
We have resided on both coasts of Florida, buying, selling, and building a home or two along the way. We moved to Key Largo, Florida, in 1999. The school system for the boys was top-notch. Both of our sons left for college around 2011 and 2013. They both attended Full Sail University in Central Florida. Our oldest still resides in Florida, while our youngest is now living close to Ellsworth, Maine.
About me: When our sons began those elementary years of school, my husband, along with our son's Taekwondo instructor, built the Florida Keys Taekwondo, Inc. school in Key Largo, Florida, as an extracurricular activity for the community. I was the owner, a teacher, an administrator, and a student of the company. Myself and our two sons became 1st-degree black belts together. The school once had 150 students aged 3 to 70 years. The school was very successful for eight years. The company closed its doors in 2007 due to the market crash.
I continued into retail sales as the Assistant Storage Manager of Pier 1 Imports of the Florida Keys. Then, I was promoted to Store Manager. I spent approximately five years with the company.
Wanting to have more control over my career, I decided to take a chance with real estate sales. I passed the real estate exam in November 2008. I began home matchmaking in the worst real estate market of the decade. It was a time of learning, but I made quite a few sales in my first year.
I visited the Bar Harbor area for several years. I took in the sights, visited the area, gorged on lobster, and just fell in love with the Schoodic Peninsula. A few years later, we purchased a small camp in Gouldsboro, Maine. In 2017, we rebuilt a beautiful new home on the property that looks onto Acadia National Park. We now live in Gouldsboro, Maine, full time.
Real estate is my passion. I am licensed in two states, Maine & Florida.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you to sell or purchase your home in Maine.
