My Story

​​

I know this journey because I've walked it with my own family.  I know what this decision feels like because I walked it with my own mother in Orange county, California.  It was not a brochure exercise, it was late-night worry, tours that did not feel like her, and the quiet hope that she would still feel at home.  I a senior myself now living in Pinellas county, and I do this work so another family does not have to figure it out alone.  If you are standing in that same spot, I will help you sort the local options, ask the hard questions, and take the next step with a little more peace.

​

Today, as a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), I help Pinellas county families find the right senior living community - with no cost to you, because I'm compensated by the community, not by you. 

​

If the house also needs to sell, we can talk through that in the same conversation.

How It Works
A Simple, Guided Process

step 1

Free Consultation — We start with a conversation about your loved one's needs — care level, budget, location preferences, and what matters most to your family

step 2

Personalized Assessment — I evaluate options across Pinellas County's assisted living, independent living, and memory care communities to identify the best matches — not just a list, but real recommendations based on your situation.

step 3

Curated Recommendations — You receive a short list of communities that actually fit — saving you from touring a dozen places that were never going to work.

step 4

Tours & Support — I can accompany you on tours, help you ask the right questions, and support you through move-in — start to finish.

​

  • Free for families — I'm compensated by the senior living community when a placement is made, never by you

  • Local expertise — I know Pinellas County's communities firsthand, not just from a database

  • One point of contact — no bouncing between call centers or unfamiliar voices

  • Personal experience — I've navigated this transition with my own family and understand the emotional weight of this decision

  • No pressure — my job is to help you find the right fit, not to fill a bed
