About Me and My Journey as a Real Estate Professional As a Broker Associate with eXp Realty and Team Owner of The Comerford Group, I bring a wealth of experience in real estate, luxury properties, investment, and development. My background extends beyond traditional brokerage—I am also an interior designer and builder, which gives me unique insights into property potential that I can effectively communicate to buyers. My passion for real estate began early—so early, in fact, that my childhood play involved designing and developing elaborate "condo projects" for my Barbie dolls, much to my father’s amusement! This early enthusiasm evolved into a lifelong career, beginning with investing and developing properties in New York City as a young professional. Furthering my education, I earned an MBA in Finance and Real Estate from Wharton Business School, which propelled me into a successful career on Wall Street as an investment banker and developer. Over the years, I specialized in high-value real estate transactions, leveraging my financial expertise to navigate complex investments. Seeking a new challenge, I transitioned from finance to real estate development, founding a boutique development company in NYC. Our firm specialized in acquiring undervalued properties and transforming them into ultra-luxury assets, with several of our projects featured in top industry magazines and television shows. Why My Experience Matters to You! While real estate transactions may seem straightforward as portrayed on popular TV shows, they often represent one of the most significant financial decisions in a person’s life. Whether you are purchasing a dream home or building a real estate investment portfolio, it is crucial to have an experienced, strategic, and knowledgeable professional by your side. Florida real estate presents its own unique considerations—construction standards, waterfront property regulations, protection against natural elements, and specialized landlord-tenant laws. Access to a network of trusted professionals is key. My team and I, along with our vetted partners, navigate these complexities for you, ensuring your investments are secure and your opportunities are maximized. My Passion for Florida Real Estate For over two decades now, I have embraced Florida’s incredible lifestyle while building a highly productive and respected real estate business. Through dedication, hard work, and a client-first approach, I have earned a reputation as one of the most sought-after brokers in Florida’s Southeast and Southwest coastal markets. I take immense pride in providing exceptional service, expert guidance, and strategic negotiation to deliver extraordinary results for my clients. Beyond real estate, I enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather, which lets us take advantage of the beaches, golf courses, and boating waterways year-round with family and friends. I'm also a proud parent to a spirited Miniature Schnauzer girl!
