As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) in Putnam County, Florida, I work closely with seniors and their families to help them navigate the real estate process safely and confidently. Unfortunately, scammers often target older adults during major life transitions such as selling a home, downsizing, or purchasing property.

Part of my role is helping clients recognize red flags, avoid high-pressure tactics, and connect with trusted local professionals when additional support is needed. From reviewing documents and timelines to ensuring clear communication every step of the way, I focus on protecting my clients’ best interests so they can make informed decisions without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Buying or selling a home should feel secure, supported, and transparent—especially later in life. My commitment is to provide guidance rooted in experience, care, and integrity, helping seniors move forward with confidence.
