A few years ago we were living life as a family of five in Southern California when I (Stacie) got the wild idea to move us across the country to the beautiful beaches of Manatee County. Luckily, my husband is a smart man and agreed to the move! So in early 2016, we sold our house, our rental properties, our truck, and most of our furniture and made the cross country trip with the kids and dogs in tow. We have never looked back and have fallen more in love each day with the people, the beaches, and the tropical sunshine!I had taught high school Biology for 18 years and decided it was time for a change. My husband, Bill, is a retired law enforcement officer and worked in insurance sales post-retirement. We have always had a passion for real estate, so we took the plunge and combined our love of beautiful homes with our love of this tropical paradise and began our real estate business. We look forward to helping you navigate the complex world of real estate sales and purchases.
