About Vanessa
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.

Client Stories
“Working with Vanessa, as our realtor, was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Having come from California, Vanessa worked with us to understand this new market and then showed us properties explaining the pros and cons of each. She spent the time to make sure we were comfortable with our final decision. Considering our travel schedule, she made sure we were informed and offered us options as we went through the negotiation process.
Vanessa’s communication style was fantastic and played a big role in making the transaction smooth. We always knew where we stood, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly. The process of setting up home inspection, working with our lender, or even handling the closing without us being there proved our confidence in her was totally justified.
We would absolutely recommend Vanessa to friends and family. The level of professionalism and care that she demonstrated truly set her apart from other agents we have worked with in the past. Her knowledge of the market and her personalized approach made us feel like a priority.
Vanessa gave genuine care and attention to detail that made us feel more than clients but like valued partners.
We definitely felt that Vanessa offered experience, reliability, superior communication and support and also felt that she was a realtor who was truly invested in helping us find the perfect home.”
