Originally from a small town in upstate New York, Cindy Dillander relocated to the Venice area for her senior year of high school. She later attended college in Bradenton and Jacksonville, and earned her degree in accounting. When she returned to the area, she moved to Arcadia to experience the joys of acreage, horses, and the rest of the entire barnyard menagerie and everything nature provided. At that time, she worked in Sarasota and Venice at the time for a real estate developer who specialized in golf course communities and resort living. After experiencing some life-changing events in the late ‘90s, she decided to use her knowledge of the area to help others fulfill their dreams to find the home that is right for them.
