About

I'm a Polk County native - Born in Winter Haven, raised in Bartow and now back living in Winter Haven! I'm a graduate of Bartow High School, Polk Community College, Warner University and Southeastern University. My father worked as a real estate appraiser here in Polk County for over 40 years, so naturally I too would choose real estate as a career; but like most teenagers, after graduating, I decided on a different path. I worked a wide array of jobs from youth probation, a car dealership and various business fields. Looking back, I was never truly content or passionate about any of my jobs, so eventually I quit fighting and came back to the only career that ever REALLY interested me; REAL ESTATE! I was fortunate enough to have my dad teach me the appraisal business and was able to work alongside him while earning my credentials. I'm a State-Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser and Real Estate Broker for Berry Realty & Appraisals Services. I've found that there is NEVER a dull moment in real estate! There are always new experiences and things to be taught. I've learned that appraisers and agents can have a love-hate relationship but can also learn a lot from one another. I believe sharing knowledge is powerful! I'm always excited to help buyers and sellers achieve their goals and eager to talk to people about property values!
