My top priority is to put you first, listen carefully and understand your specific wants and requirements – I fully understand that the trust you place in me to guide you through the successful purchase or sale of your home is extremely important to you. You will not be disappointed and I will not let you down!The secrets to smooth transactions are clear communications, honest and accurate disclosures, creating a positive environment, and walking you through every step. I enjoy my work because I care about what I do and treat each transaction as if I was buying a home for myself (or selling my own home). This business is about building trust and relationships, and my future business depends on this. The love of my home town is evident in my approach to Emerald Coast Real Estate. A graduate from Rocky Bayou Christian School and University of West Florida, I grew up on the Emerald Coast and have been immersed in the area since 1971. I am intimately familiar with Niceville, Destin and all surrounding areas. I am also a member of Emerald Coast Association of Realtors and ECAR Multiple Listing Service.

Dan Ewbank, Real Estate Agent and Customer Relations Manager for Ben Slade Realty.Specializing in short sales and distressed properties, I have spent many months negotiating with a host of different lenders. This experience is invaluable to the trade and current market, providing me with extensive knowledge of how each lender processes a short sale, their approximate time-lines and procedures. Knowledge and information are essential ingredients for success, and they also allow me to pass this on to sellers and clients desperate for solutions and answers.I concurrently do BPOs (appraisals) for several asset management companies on a weekly basis, which in turn allows me to see their expectations and requirements for a short sale to be approved. It also means that I spend much time observing the market in this area and predicting its future patterns and direction. What always astounds me is seeing short sales go to the steps because they are not handled in the correct manner. This is not something you can give to anyone, just because they have a license or because they were successful when the market was up. I have an Associate Degree from Bradford University in the UK, majoring in marketing. I worked as a graphics and marketing manager for six years in Atlanta, GA, before moving full time into Real Estate. I have lived in the USA for the past 10 years as a permanent US resident
