MY SERVICES
One of the most important things that I do as a real estate professional is to understand the market and the real value of the property that my client is considering. No one wants to overpay for anything that they purchase. This is never truer than when buying a home or an investment property. Although the offer price is ultimately the decision of my client, I must go far beyond comparing similar property prices to guide us through an accurate offer and successful transaction. I provide hard data combined with experience. I also invest in the latest smart real estate software that provides even another layer of information to guide us.
It is crucial that you work with a real estate professional who knows every nook of the area that you are considering. If you are not sure where you would love to live, you need an expert to guide you to uncover the neighborhood that meets everything on your list. Realty Mere will listen intently and use the strong relationships with other agents and builders to uncover the property of your dreams. I have also helped several of my clients’ reach their real estate goals from afar. Using videography, clear and up-to-date market information, and drones, it is not hard to view the property from every angle.
All my clients will tell you that I always do my homework. I learned the importance of being prepared from my days as a Fortune 500 Sales Executive and that has carried over to my successful real estate career. Preparation leads to the organization. When I am prepared and organized, the time we spend together will be more productive. Our days together will be geographically plotted and timed efficiently. The information that I deliver is always clear and formatted. My main objective is to meet your real estate goals quickly and easily.
Communication is key with any business transaction. Details must be revealed at every step. Information in emails, text, video, and phone calls will be delivered accurately and in a timely manner. My clients set the tone of how much information they want, however, the important details are always relayed immediately. I will also stay on top of all communication with lenders, escrow companies, title, inspection, appraisers, and more.
It is my job to protect my client’s every interest. Getting you to the finish line at the correct price and terms is my entire focus. There must be no mistakes during the contract writing, interpretation, and negotiation. Realty Mere has been handling million-dollar transactions for over 20 years. Understanding contract terms, the correct contract version to write, and what the seller really wants is where I really shine!

Why me
Time is your most important commodity. I value your time. Being prepared, organized, previewing properties, and interviewing people who know the property are ways I use to save time during the buying process. Every property is different, and every property needs a different approach.
Gain Access to Listings Faster
I am the most dedicated advocate to my buyer’s best interest. I also have trusting relationships with agents all over Florida and the entire USA. I have my ear to the ground to uncover properties that will be coming to the market in the future. Being a step ahead of other buyers is why my clients win.
Red Flag Alert
Florida real estate is a good investment, however, not every property is a good choice—even if my buyer loves the location and look. It is my job to uncover existing or future problems. Does the listing agent and owner provide answers to all questions? Has there been any issues with flooding? Are there open permits? These are examples of some of the things that must be investigated before an offer is made. Don’t buy a property without all stones being overturned!
Keeping the transaction on track
There are numerous time-sensitive activities during every real estate transaction. Inspection window, escrow, financing approvals, are a few. As your real estate representative, I will manage the project from start to finish.
Assisting after the transaction is complete
I will not stop helping you until you no longer need me. I have helped my buyers with internet installations, appliance deliveries, and even moving furniture! My clients know that I am always happy to assist.

No strings attached.
Frequently asked questions
When buying in Southwest Florida, where should I begin?
Choosing a good real estate expert and guide is where you start. After picking the professional that meets your needs and personality, you must devise a list of what you must have, your budget, how you will pay for the home. Next, itemize what you can live without. The 4th step is the kind of location where you want to be. This is where my knowledge of the different areas and neighborhoods is essential: tell me your needs and preferences, and I will guide you to the perfect location. Along with these 4 steps, you should be gaining intelligence about the area and where the market is at that very moment. Reminder: never put yourselves in a position that if you cannot find or win a home, you do not have a place to live.
What is it like to buy in a Seller’s market?
Being a buyer in a Seller’s market can be stressful and sometimes heart wrenching. If you have an experienced agent, you will know what needs to be done to win the home of your dreams. However, be patient and follow your expert’s advice. Realty Mere will never let you overpay for a home, nor will she let you enter any negotiations or bidding without understanding every detail. Again, a reminder: never put yourselves in a position that if you cannot find or win a home, you do not have a place to live.
How can I win against a cash offer?
Your agent should know if the owner will only take a cash offer. If you are financing, do not enter a situation where the seller only wants cash. It is a waste of everyone’s time. To win against cash buyers, your agent must know terms outside of price that the seller really wants. Work with a creative buyer’s agent (Realty Mere) to win!
Who pays the Realtors commission in a buying transaction?
The seller or the builder pays the commission. The buyer does not. Therefore, as a buyer why would you not work with the best realtor you can find: Realty Mere?
Do I need to get a home inspection?
Always get a home inspection. Do not waive an inspection—even with new construction. I encourage a home inspection to protect my buyer.
What is homesteading?
Florida’s homestead exemption laws are one of the many attractive features of living in the Sunshine State. The Homestead exemption law takes your home appraisal down to save you on property taxes. You must reside in Florida for 6 months and 1 day per year to qualify. Please contact Realty Mere for the other requirements to meet homestead exemption requirements as well as other Florida tax exemptions that you may qualify for.
Besides the price of the home how do I calculate the total cost of ownership?
Buyers must understand, taxes, homeowner’s association, insurance, utilities, landscaping, pool maintenance, and a variety of other costs to maintain the home. Know all costs up front. It is not fun to be “house poor”.
If I am looking for a rental, for example to learn the area before buying a house, will Realty Mere help me?
Yes, she will! Most agents will not, but Realty Mere will.
Looking for a New Home?
The Southwest Florida “Tri-City” Area- Bradenton, Sarasota, and Venice– compromises a wide variety of communities each with its living style. This beautiful region of Florida is the area that I live in and am fully engrained in. The area encompasses almost 900,000 -some populated, some rural. There is something for everybody’s taste, with a different vibe and focus ranging from active to relaxing, from young to over 55, from lower-cost to expansive and expensive.
When you are looking for a Tri-City property, you need an experienced local guide and real estate expert to help you navigate and uncover the exact property of your needs and dreams at the right price with the best outlook for the future. First home, second home, investment property, or vacant land, Realty Mere has got you. I use the latest technology and software on all my transactions, and I stay abreast of the most current market information to uncover everything on your list at the best price.
I know the highways and byways, the gated community rules and regulations, and the condominium bylaws, parking, and ways to enter so that we get to and into every property with ease. I always do my homework so that all details are uncovered before a showing and I am well respected by other agents, so when we get to a negotiation, it is fierce, but also friendly and respectful.
All transactions and accompanying paperwork are handled electronically so that we have a detailed trail of communication. If you don’t like electronic, I will help you to do things your way, but recorded in a modern format. I get my clients to the finish-line stress-free with every detail uncovered and exposed up-front. If you are buying from afar (without physically being with me in Florida), my videographer and drone pilot will display the inside, outside, streets, and complete neighborhood at every stage of your buying process.
