Turning Dreams Into Keys Since 2008

With over 10 years of experience helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals, I bring both expertise and dedication to every transaction.

Community Leadership:

I’ve been an active member of the Valrico Fishhawk Chamber of Commerce since 2017, serving on the

leading as President in 2021.

For Buyers:

Whether it’s your first home, a forever home, or an investment property, I provide in-depth market insights tailored to your search area. My goal is to match your needs with the best opportunities while also opening your eyes to possibilities you may not have considered. Every buyer receives personalized guidance, including a custom homeowner’s guide designed for their property.


For Sellers:

Your home deserves to stand out. I provide professional photography, including drone imaging, to showcase your property online and highlight its strongest features. Sellers also receive a current, data-driven market
analysis to position their home at the most
competitive price.

Thank you for visiting Turning the Key FL. I look forward to guiding you through your next real estate journey with expertise, care, and results.
