I grew up in Fort Myers, Florida. Prior to entering the real estate industry, I had a rewarding career in law enforcement, where I learned effective communication skills, how to navigate delicate situations, and negotiate for a favorable outcome for all parties. Currently, I am an active member of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. I have also owned restaurants, embroidery shops and general stores in both Tennessee and Florida.
I appreciate and value the trust that customers place on me, and I strive to exceed their expectations every day. I understand that selling and/or buying a home can be difficult and a deeply personal decision. I work hard to establish and, more importantly, maintain relationships with my customers through effective communication, and integrity. My goal is to assist you in achieving your real estate objectives quickly and easily.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family, art, engraving and being outdoors. Coupled with a genuine passion for real estate and my home state of Florida, I am very excited to help real estate buyers and sellers accomplish homeownership.

Elizabeth@LatitudeREgroup.com
A proud New England native and fervent member of Red Sox Nation, I have called Naples, Florida, my home for almost a decade. My journey in real estate began in 2012 when I earned my real estate license, and has since assisted clients in both Massachusetts and Florida. With ten years of real estate transactions under my belt, my experience have led to the development of structured procedures and meticulous checklists for all files.
My career in real estate has evolved significantly. Initially, I worked as a full-service agent, then transitioned to a Transaction Coordinator, and now hold a position as Director of Compliance. My comprehensive understanding of real estate transactions is complemented by my commitment to protocol, compliance, contract parameters, and strict deadlines. I firmly believe that the real estate business is not just about transactions but about building and maintaining relationships. Through efficient communication with agents, closing companies, attorneys, lenders, and inspectors, I maximize the opportunity for my clients to have a positive experience in buying or selling a home. Given the significance and cost of purchasing property, ensuring a positive customer experience is crucial.
As the Director of Compliance for Latitude Group, I am intricately involved in every detail of team listings and purchase contracts. I act as a liaison between agents, customers, and the various vendors involved from start to finish, providing an additional layer of support for all parties throughout the transaction.
Beyond her professional life, I have a deep passion for dog adoption. I am the proud owner of two retired greyhounds and have volunteered with the Bonita Springs/Fort Myers track, rehabilitating greyhounds with broken legs sustained during races. Following the closure of the tracks, I have continued my efforts by assisting in the adoption of Spanish Galgos and Irish greyhounds, helping them find loving homes in the United States.
Me and my husband, who, notably, is a Mets fan, enjoy traveling around Florida for both work and pleasure. We are dedicated to celebrating their Christian faith daily and practice gratitude for our wonderful and intentional life together.

As a trusted real estate advisor for my clients, I understand that selling and/or buying a home is complex and deeply personal. There is a lot at stake both financially and personally. My desire to be an expert in my field stems from my perspective on the process and my sense of responsibility to my clients. I understand the market, the players, and all the variables involved in a real estate transaction. I want to make sure you have a reliable and trusted advisor by your side and that you are supported.
As a Seller you want to effectively (and beautifully) market the home and then negotiate the best terms and the highest price for the sale. As a Buyer, you want a patient yet assertive partner, to help you find the ideal home for you at the best possible price. In other words, you want to make sure you don’t leave any money on the table. This is where I, together with my team, become your consultant, negotiator, and project manager in partnership with you.
When I moved to SW Florida a decade ago, I was surprised by the lack of professionalism and work ethic of most of the realtors I encountered. I was determined to change that and work at the highest level that I would expect if someone were working for me. Within a few years of my SW Florida real estate career, I became one of the top agents in the area through hard work and a dedication to doing business the right way. I am now the co-owner of The Latitude Group of Premiere Plus Realty. I have surrounded myself with like-minded agents who provide the best possible customer service and attention to clients’ needs. The dedication and service provided by me, and my team, are second to none.
If you are looking to buy, sell or invest in property in SW Florida, I would love to help! Call me if you are ready to use my in-depth expertise, work ethic and diligent approach to your advantage.

Originally from Miami, Florida, I moved to Los Angeles after graduating with my BA in Communication from Florida Atlantic University where I started a 11-year career in marketing and advertising. Along the way, I made a detour to Palm Springs, where I fell in love with its iconic architecture and decided to stay.
In 2007, I entered the real estate market with a focus on marketing properties of architectural significance. Having entered the real estate industry amid a major economic downturn, I also had the chance to represent clients with short sales, bank-owned properties, probate and bankruptcy sales, investment properties, and more.
Missing family and a life-long network of friends, I returned to my South Florida roots and decided to advance my real estate career obtaining a broker license. In an effort to further assist my clients, I obtained my Gold Key Certification and my Certified Real Estate Negotiator credentials. My bilingual background allows me to serve Spanish-speaking customers to help them achieve the American Dream of owning a home.
In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, watersports, tennis, yoga, boxing, reading, and volunteer for local animal rescue organizations. My goal is to establish a non-profit organization in the future to assist low-income families with their pets’ veterinary needs with a mission to keep them out of shelters.

I join the Latitude Group team with an upbeat personality, strong sales expertise and sharp negotiating skills, living and working in the Estero, Bonita Springs and Naples area. Born and raised in the Windy City of Chicago and marrying my high school sweetheart, Jason, I relocated to Northwest Indiana and started my real estate career in 2003. Sincerity, respect, kindness, devotion, and hard work are the qualities I've used to build my enterprises and reflect who I am as a person. I've made many lifelong friends through my real estate career, and I treasure those friendships!
That Midwestern work ethic has followed me to SW Florida, where I am now a permanent resident. Jason and I started out by owning a vacation condo on Ft. Myers Beach. We fell in love with the island vibe and enjoyed meeting the local business owners and employees. We quickly concluded that this is the place we want to call home. So here we are, enjoying SW Florida permanently!
Whether you are selling or buying a home, I am ready to assist you with your real estate transaction! I can't wait to show you all the sites I adore in Ft. Myers Beach, Bonita Springs, Naples, Estero, Ft. Myers, and the neighboring towns if you're just moving here. I am here to support you at every stage of your home sale or purchase, all the way to the finish line!

Born and raised in Minnesota, I bring with me a strong Midwest work ethic to the Latitude Group. Buyers, sellers, and investors can expect honesty, determination, and commitment to seeing their transaction through to completion. In 1990, I took my experience and lifelong passion for agriculture to Ukraine. While in Ukraine, I became co-founder and COO for a successful agricultural company. My family imported sophisticated and modern US technology and built, owned, and operated Ukraine’s first privately owned agricultural/food
processing facility on 25,000 acres of agricultural land, while employing over 500 people. My family sold their multinational agricultural business in 2018.
When I returned to the US, I was faced with a decision to pursue my lifelong dream of living in Florida or continue my career in agriculture. I decided to pursue a lucrative profession as a Florida REALTOR® by
utilizing my 30 years of business expertise, problem solving abilities and exceptional people skills. Although living in Ukraine was a remarkable experience, I was drawn to the Gulf of Mexico and the warmth of the SW Florida sunshine!
My wife and I fulfilled our dream by relocating to Southwest Florida. Real Estate has proven to be rewarding, I help others fulfill their dream of becoming homeowners or selling their homes because life is taking them on a different journey. Awarded the 2023 “Top Producer and Highest Team Sales” by the Latitude Group | Premiere Plus Realty team, I have built a reputation for my savvy negotiation skills and cutting-edge marketing strategies. Real Estate is always changing, if you are ready to work with a full-time agent who will help you navigate through the changing markets – call me!
