Foreign Investor and Relocation Experience
Starting in the industry, I sold New Construction homes in Davenport Florida with a nationally
recognized builder - DR Horton Homes. During my career I have helped hundreds of clients from
across the globe locate their ideal property based on needs, goals and objectives.
Most clients I meet with come here enjoying time at Disney, parks and shopping, with their families and
most come to love what Central Florida has to offer. Many find themselves looking for either a 2nd
home for personal use or a home/ townhome or condominium to purchase for " short term rental" - i.e.
purchase a home then select a management company to manage and book their property when not
using personally. Although we do not manage the homes, we have contacts for our clients when
needing: Furniture, management, handyman, accountants specializing in FIRPTA, insurance,
mortgages, and much more.
I look forward to hearing from you should you wish to consider purchasing a home here in Orlando,
Kissimmee or the surrounding areas!
About Celebration and the surrounding areas
Central Florida is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Located an hour's drive to either the
Gulf Coast or Cocoa Beach there is so much to do here and within close proximity.
With LOTS of sunshine, golfing, shopping, restaurants, and of course Disney® and Universal
Studios®, Orlando draws hundreds of thousands of people per year. Many don't realize that rather
than staying at one of the hotels, they can rent vacation condominiums, town homes and/or single
family homes. This is a great option especially for those bringing children, or traveling with the whole
family. These properties offer full kitchens, with separate bathrooms, living spaces and most have
private pools or communities that offer these amenities like Windsor Hills, Reunion, Windsor Palms,
Champions Gate, West Haven to name a few.
Many clients that call me to ask for assistance soon realize that they have the option to purchase a
property as well. When I meet with a client we discuss from start to finish what is involved with the
home buying process. From: Discussing funds for your purchase, exchange rate, determining your
needs, discussing costs versus rental potential, the different communities and areas, amenities you are
looking for, and current market evaluations.
Through shifting markets, we have been there to assist our customers. Our focus has always been:
COMMUNICATION
CUSTOMER SERVICE
COMMITMENT
INTEGRITY
