Growing up, what did you want to be? I wanted to be famous: an actress, dancer or stage performer.

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed? I take walks on the beach or ride my bike.
I enjoy life mostly on a daily basis. I love the South Beach sunrise and sunsets along South Pointe Park .

If you could have lunch with a well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why? Walter Mercado and Liz Taylor

Where is your favorite place to hang out? I love Joe’s Take away.

What do you love most about the industry? I love South Florida and have lived here my entire life. I enjoy sharing that with people moving here and my friends and neighbors who are moving to different locations.

How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents? I actually care about my clients – I don’t see them as a dollar sign. They are human beings with lives, personalities, serious needs and wants. I try to get them what they will be happy with, not what I want to sell them. It’s about making both sides of the deal good. In doing so, I sleep well at night.

What is the most difficult aspect of your job? It’s difficult if I can’t read them and their needs. Residential is very emotional, I have to tap into that side of them.
