The sale or purchase of a home represents a new chapter in someone’s life. With my extensive knowledge of this fast-growing area and my experience helping people find the right home or sell their home, it is my goal to make that next chapter happy and successful.Originally from Westchester County, NY, I attended Stony Brook University on Long Island where I completed my bachelor’s degree in Economics ... more.with a minor in Business.I actually started in the real estate field quite by accident. I started working for a high-end developer on Long Island in 1988, showing the newly created summer vacation co-ops in Westhampton Beach, NY. I knew right away that the real estate field was a perfect fit for me. I quickly got my real estate license and worked for the next two years on that project until it was sold out. I transitioned to Manhattan where I specialized in the high-end rental market of the Upper West Side.Several years later, in 2002, my family was relocated to Lakewood Ranch. My children were small, and I chose to work part time in both the insurance and financial fields. Returning to work full time in 2015 and to the real estate field that I love, I became a Realtor® and joined the leading brokerage on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Michael Saunders & Company. Owning homes in both Lakewood Ranch and the West of Trail neighborhood of Sarasota, it has been such an unexpected gift to watch these communities grow and develop into the multi-dimensional neighborhoods they are today. They are a destination for so many families looking for that special new place to call home. Dedicated to giving back to the community, I actively support Sarasota’s Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s and Michael Saunders & Company's MSC Foundation. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and planning "staycations" several times a year, one of the many perks of living in this fabulous area! ...less.
We had the pleasure of both buying and selling our home with JJ. What a gem! She's kind. professional, and attentive. Thank you for smooth transactions throughout the processes. We highly suggest you make JJ a part of your real estate process.
My experience with JJ was fantastic from beginning to end. My house hunting adventure began with a thorough and friendly probing conversation so JJ could understand my needs, desires and goals. It was followed by a well organized and nicely balanced schedule of tours at both new and existing homes that matched everything I shared in our initial discussion. Then JJ was extremely helpful in leading me through an analysis of my options, bringing to the selection of the best new home for my future. I can’t recommend JJ higher. Friendly....thoroughly knowledgeable.... truly professional. A true class act! Thanks JJ!
JJ went far beyond what I believe others would do. She asked questions about what we were looking for and at our request, sent us information about the area and homes for several months before we started actively looking. She made sure we got answers to every question we asked and negotiated the price on our behalf (which let to a sale). We would Highly recommend her.
