About Donna

Your Local, Professional Connection to Florida Keys Living! I grew up on the Jersey Shore where houses had charm and character. I love houses, all houses! It doesn’t matter what the year, style, design, location, condition, décor or the lack of. I love walking through and thinking of its history, possibilities, past residents and future ones to be. Being around the water all my life led me to want to live an island lifestyle. For me, there was no better place to choose that life than The Florida Keys where you can be perpetually outdoors everyday (Jersey had snow, not good for an island girl in flip flops).  A real estate career was a natural choice for me. Finding the right location and the right home for someone inspires me. I love finding the perfect match and the feeling of having some small part in what your biggest financial decision could be. I know how finances can affect families daily. When I was young my mother, a single mom with four kids, was elected County Comptroller for decades and she instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility and a solid work ethic.  Her influence nurtured my analytical trait which has served me well in my career. I listen to my clients and then listen some more and can look at a home from multiple aspects and offer solutions that are sometimes outside the box. I provide you with different perspectives that can bring calm to chaos and focus on what is important to you. Your input helps me guide you to the perfect home in the perfect location for you.  As a business owner and former Crime Analyst, I hold the numbers in high regard as well. Whether it’s completing a valuation on the home you want to sell or buy, I have a laser focus on the dollars. I’m fair but can be tough and I believe in value to all parties. Nothing makes your transaction better than having everyone walk away with a positive outcome.  In the community I support animal shelters and rescue groups in the area. I’ve worked with the South Florida SPCA on large animal rescue and support the Paws Patrol of S. Miami. I do this because, just like people, I believe every animal deserves a great home as well.  I look forward to meeting you if you are considering a home purchase or sale in the Lower Keys.
