Lisa's love for the Emerald Coast began when she was a teenager and would visit her family that live here. The allure of this place was so strong that she knew deep down it was her true home. In 2006, Lisa made the life-changing decision to move here permanently, bidding farewell to the icy winters of her Iowa upbringing and embracing the sun-kissed beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Her professional journey began in the healthcare field.
Lisa's career in healthcare blossomed, propelling her to the role of Patient Access/Revenue Cycle Manager at Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital in Destin & Port St. Joe. Seeking new opportunities, she later assumed the position of Business Operations at Sandestin Executive Health and Wellness Center, where she successfully cultivated a supportive and thriving work environment for her department.
With a lifelong passion for real estate and property management, ignited by her experiences assisting her father in house flipping and rental property management, Lisa obtained her real estate sales license in 2015, embarking on a fresh career path.
She started her real estate journey with DR Horton, specializing in selling new construction homes along the Emerald Coast, before joining a local family-owned brokerage. Additionally, Lisa dedicated several years to working with custom Luxury home builders in the area, assisting her clients in building their dream homes. Her extensive experience in real estate provides her with invaluable knowledge about pre-construction homes, investment properties, coastal communities spanning from Ft. Walton Beach to Inlet Beach, and a local resource for families with children.
In addition to her real estate expertise, Lisa has also delved into the short-term rental industry as a property manager along the 30A area, gaining firsthand knowledge of which areas are more profitable for investments and how to maximize return on investment (ROI).
Lisa's unwavering passion for people and helping them achieve their real estate dreams forms the bedrock of her career. She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients, and she takes great pride in the lasting friendships and customer relationships she has forged throughout her professional journey.
Currently residing in Santa Rosa Beach with her husband and five children, Lisa embraces the daily gratitude she feels for the beauty and tranquility of living on the Emerald Coast. Balancing her roles as a dedicated mother, supporting her children in activities like travel baseball, and competitive dance, Lisa also cherishes the company of her fabulous French Bulldogs. And when she's not immersed in the Gulf Coast's enviable outdoor lifestyle, you'll find Lisa embarking on new travel adventures across the globe, seeking out new experiences and enriching her life.
