I stumbled into real estate two decades ago and fell for it hard. A native of Pinehurst, North Carolina, and a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, I got my broker’s license in 2005 because my husband and his brothers had started a construction company and it made sense to list their spec homes in-house. Although it was a total plot twist – I was a journalism major! – real estate turned out to be a great fit and a lot of fun. My husband and I bought our first investment property in 2006. In hindsight, we had no business being landlords at that point! We didn't know what we didn't know. But our only option was to "fail forward" and figure things out, so that's what we did. And over the years, we've continued expanding and diversifying our portfolio, acquiring extensive experience with furnished vacation rentals, traditional long-term rentals, medium-term hybrids, fix-and-flips, spec and custom construction, and every phase of the buying and selling process. In 2021, while vacationing at the Jax beaches, we lucked into finding and buying an off-market home in Atlantic Beach, and in 2023 our family moved here from North Carolina. Shortly thereafter, I got my Florida broker's license and got to work doing what I do best here in Jax. Our family has seen firsthand the potential of real estate investing to create passive income, time freedom, and generational wealth - not to mention that it's the mother of all creative outlets! It's allowed us to earn a living while having a life. And I love helping others do the same.
