You won’t find my face on a bus bench on McMullen Booth Road or on a billboard on State Road 580—but you will find me deeply rooted in decades of real estate experience (since shoulder pads were a thing). My real estate journey kicked off in March of 1983 when I co-owned a commercial brokerage, managing a team of 35 agents and staff. Our company owned and operated office buildings and shopping centers all across the Tampa Bay area—yes, I’ve walked the walk in both high-rises and strip malls. In 2001, I made the shift to residential real estate, aligning with Coldwell Banker, then joined RE/MAX in 2004, where I spent two decades thriving in a culture that matched my entrepreneurial spirit. Fast-forward to today, I’m proud to be with Blake Real Estate—a respected, locally owned boutique brokerage that values service over splash. Celebrating 33+ years in the biz, I’ve weathered the housing boom, the bust, the Great Recession, a pandemic, and every quirky market shift in between. Through it all, my mission has stayed the same: provide top-notch service, clear communication, and real results. When you work with me, it’s personal. I'm a full-time agent (no part-time dabbling here), and yes—I answer my phone. I'm hands-on, present, and fully invested in your success from start to finish. I’ve sold everything from horse ranches to waterfront estates, celebrity homes to those “what-do-we-do-now?” properties. I love solving problems, navigating unique situations, and getting results. Early to the YouTube scene, I was featured in YouTube for Business by NYT contributor Michael Miller, spotlighted on ABC Action News as a "Featured Agent" and "MLS Expert", and honored to speak internationally on best practices for real estate success. I even developed the CIS Score, a proactive pricing tool to help sellers take charge of their listing strategy. Oh, and I’m proud to be in the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. Bottom line? I'm not flashy—but I am fiercely dedicated, battle-tested, and genuinely committed to help you reach your real estate goals. So, how can I help you today?"

June 29, 2026 - Mortgage rates finished last week on a strong note, ending at their lowest levels since mid-May despite getting off to a rocky start.

Early in the week, rates moved higher as markets continued reacting to the Federal Reserve's updated outlook from the previous week. However, that trend reversed as demand for bonds strengthened and inflation concerns continued to ease.

A big driver of the improvement was quarter-end portfolio rebalancing, where large institutional investors shifted money into bonds. Lower oil prices also helped by reducing some inflation concerns, creating a favorable environment for mortgage rates.

Late in the week, the Fed's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index came in largely as expected. While it wasn't a major surprise, it reinforced the market's view that inflation isn't accelerating unexpectedly and helped rates hold onto their gains.

By Friday, top tier 30-year fixed mortgage rates were around 6.5%, the lowest levels we've seen since mid May!

Looking ahead, attention now turns to this week's employment report, which will be released on Thursday due to the Independence Day holiday. It's one of the most important economic reports each month and has the potential to move mortgage rates in either direction depending on the results. If the report leads to any meaningful movement in rates, I'll send out a brief update before the long holiday weekend.
