About Vanessa

Local insight, genuine care, and a love for this stretch of coast.

With a background in global high-end luxury sales and design in New York City for over 12 years, Vanessa brings a refined eye for quality, service, and the details that make a property feel truly special.

After years of city life, Vanessa and her family began a new chapter—first relocating from New York City to New Jersey, and eventually making their way to the beautiful 30A area of Northwest Florida. Today, she and her husband are raising their son and enjoying life with their Bernedoodle, embracing the slower pace, natural beauty, and coastal lifestyle they’ve come to call home.

The move was more than a change of scenery. It was a lifestyle shift—and one Vanessa understands personally.

That experience gives her a unique perspective when helping others make a move of their own. Whether clients are relocating from a major city, searching for a second home, or simply looking for a different way of life, Vanessa understands that finding the right home is about more than a property. It’s about finding a place where life feels right.

With a passion for beautiful homes, thoughtful service, and the unique lifestyle of 30A, Vanessa is dedicated to making the process feel personal, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable.

Buying on 30A

A calm, informed path to your place by the Gulf

Buying on the coast comes with its own questions — HOAs, rental rules, flood zones, insurance, and which beach truly fits your life. Vanessa helps you answer them before you fall in love with a house.

  1. Start with a conversation

    We talk through lifestyle, budget, and timing so the search feels focused from day one.

  2. Explore the communities

    Tour neighborhoods together — or virtually — and learn the differences that never show up online.

  3. Tour homes with insight

    Get honest notes on construction, HOAs, flood zones, rental rules, and resale.

  4. Negotiate with confidence

    Clear strategy backed by local data, so your offer stands out for the right reasons.

  5. Close and settle in

    Inspections, insurance, and closing handled calmly — plus local introductions after the keys.
