Marie began a career in real estate by accident! After graduating from USF with a degree in Business Management and Marketing, she was originally hired by a real estate office to provide marketing and support services for the company. The Broker quickly recognized that Marie would be a natural at helping people to realize their dream of homeownership. With some persuasion, Marie jumped in with both feet to obtain her real estate license. Purchasing a home is one of the most important decisions you can make. Marie takes this responsibility seriously and consistently delivers professional services to both buyers and sellers. She has excelled at her profession as a lot of her business has been repeat customers and referrals. Her service speaks for itself! Marie greatly enjoys guiding her customers along every step of their home buying experience whether a first-time buyer or an empty nester looking to downsize, and it shows. Sellers can depend on Marie to analyze the market to obtain the best sales price, provide marketing to produce an offer, and she is adept at negotiating the best offer possible. Her attention to detail and communication skills set her apart in the real estate profession. Marie is seasoned in her career and ready to tackle any challenges that are thrown her way. Anyone can sell real estate. Marie takes it to the next level!
