ABOUT ME
About Vanessa
Born into Real Estate. Built on Legacy. Dedicated to You.
Real estate isn’t just my career—it’s in my DNA. My family’s story in Southwest Florida real estate began decades ago with my grandmother, a trailblazer who started as the very first female salesperson for the Lehigh Corporation before founding Florida Resale Properties in 1983. When she retired, she passed the torch to my mother, and today, my sister and I proudly work alongside her to carry that legacy forward.
Before stepping into full-time real estate sales nearly five years ago, I spent years working hands-on in property management maintenance. That experience gave me an invaluable insider’s perspective on homes—knowing what makes a property structurally sound, well-maintained, and built to last. Combining that practical, detail-oriented foundation with our family’s 40+ years of local market history allows me to guide buyers and sellers across Ft. Myers, Cape Coral, and the surrounding areas with complete confidence.
Relationships First, Always
Growing up in this industry, my mother taught me a golden rule that I live by every single day: "You have to build the friendship first, then the deal."
To me, success isn't measured in quick transactions—it’s measured in the lifelong relationships I build along the way. Nothing brings me greater joy than walking alongside my friends as their lives unfold. Whether I’m helping someone move from their very first rental apartment into a spacious upgrade, guiding an investor toward growing their portfolio, or handing over the keys to a family’s ultimate dream home in paradise, being part of that journey is why I love being a Realtor.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting an agent—you’re getting a dedicated advocate, a hands-on local expert, and a trusted family team standing right beside you.
