About

Real estate. Relationships.
And a really good laugh.

Maureen is the kind of advisor who remembers your dog's name, texts you when she sees a listing that's "totally you," and somehow makes a home inspection genuinely entertaining. She's warm, wickedly funny, and one of the sharpest negotiators in South Florida.

A longtime Coral Ridge resident, she transitioned from running a high-end boutique to real estate in 2010 — bringing her eye for beauty, obsession with service, and deep community roots with her.

When she's not closing deals, you'll find her championing local nonprofits, hosting friends around a big table, or making sure every client feels like family — because to Maureen, they are.

Buyer — Fort Lauderdale
Nancy G.
I had very specific criteria for my new home, and Maureen embraced the challenge. Despite setbacks during inspections, her persistence kept me motivated. She listed and sold my condo at over 90% of asking — on the second showing. I've already referred my sister, and she found her dream condo on the beach.

Jacque A.
Maureen provided a wonderful experience in selling our condominium. Her years of experience and extensive knowledge enabled her to provide a realistic pricing range. The property was marketed well, showings were professional, and feedback was prompt.
Seller — Fort Lauderdale
Les & Mike
Maureen developed a comprehensive plan to stage and present the condo. She did an exacting analysis of comparables and was present at every showing. The condo sold at the highest price for any two-bedroom in the building in years.

Maureen presented us with a schedule on how and when she was going to show and sell our home and followed through with it. We knew what to expect and she delivered. She is excellent at what she does.
