From the Atlantic Ocean to Florida Bay and everywhere in between, I love helping others discover the perfect place to enjoy our island paradise. With a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of Central Florida and a diverse professional background as a local bank branch manager, co-owner of Dunn Electrical Service, and owner of Dunn Bookkeeping, I bring a unique combination of customer service, financial expertise, business management, and construction knowledge to every real estate transaction. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the construction industry has given me a valuable understanding of homes, property improvements, and the building process that benefits both buyers and sellers. My goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience while guiding clients through one of life's most important financial decisions. Whether you're purchasing your first home, selling a waterfront property, investing, or navigating a major life transition, I am committed to delivering knowledgeable guidance, clear communication, and exceptional service every step of the way. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), I am specially trained to assist clients age 50 and older with the unique opportunities and challenges they may encounter in today's real estate market. I am honored to have been voted Best of the Upper Keys Realtor® in 2025, a recognition that reflects my dedication to serving my clients and community with professionalism, integrity, and care. Community involvement has always been an important part of my life. When I'm not helping clients achieve their real estate goals, you can often find me volunteering with local schools, youth organizations, and community programs, including the Parent Teacher Association, School Advisory Council, Boy Scouts, and local sports programs. I am also a proud graduate of Leadership Monroe County Class XXX and a recipient of the Business and Professional Women's \"Woman of the Year\" Award. As a lifelong Keys resident, community advocate, and experienced real estate professional, I am passionate about helping others make their next move with confidence. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I would be honored to help you achieve your real estate goals in the Florida Keys. \"\" [\"http://cust.iqcdn.net/iq_cb_schmitt/images/custom/3053943717/image/PC5A6179-Edit_20210805110545.jpg\"] \"\" [\"https://bay.cdn.bkat.io/cust/iq_cb_schmitt/agent-images/3053943717/Institute] \"\" [\"https://bay.cdn.bkat.io/cust/iq_cb_schmitt/agent-images/3053943717/SRES_Black_20230622170338.png\"]
