Vanessa met her husband in the Army while she was active duty, and they are happily married with a new baby. “Gratefully, my husband’s commendable and progressive military career relocated us here to Florida last year. We are so lucky and proud to be homeowners right by the beach on the Emerald Coast!” -Vanessa

Vanessa has dedicated her life to serving others, both in the military and health care – and now, in real estate! She and her husband bought and sold their first house at a young age and since then have sought out the highest and best opportunities in which to invest their money. She knows how stressful it may be for families to quickly leave and move to a new place, the necessity of needing to adapt and overcome with time constrictions, have experienced the hardest goodbyes or having to hold the fort while loved ones are away serving the country, and the inevitable fear of where the next “home sweet home” shall be. She knows far too well needing to make quick and important decisions in the heights of stress. It is a passion of hers to help all families work through life’s greatest decisions and making the best of the time we all have with our loved ones!
