Cindy believes in order to be successful in Real Estate, you have to know the true definition of Team Work.
As a former elementary teacher for 13 years, with class sizes ranging from 18 children, to her two-year stint as an ESE inclusion classroom instructor with 55 second graders, Cindy learned that firsthand “Team Work” meant working successfully with her students, with her students’ parents, colleagues, support staff, and school administration.
As a buyer and seller of fifteen personal properties, Cindy understands the importance of a Real Estate transaction; and as such, she has two goals:
to make your Real Estate transaction – buying, selling, or both – an enjoyable, stress-free experience; and
to make you feel as if you are her only customer.
As a result, Cindy’s top-quality work and value-added services secure her customer’s trust and generates valuable client referrals - peruse some of her recent customers’ testimonials on her “Results” tab at the top of this page.

Cindy’s 16 Years’ Experience with New Construction
Whether you are experienced with new construction, or building your first home, you should have a Realtor representing you.
Why?
If you venture into a model center, the on-site Realtor is working for the Builder.
The biggest myth with new construction is Buyers “save” 3% on the price of the home by not having a Realtor represent them. This can’t be farther from the truth. In fact, the 3% co-Broke commission isn’t a “savings” at all. It goes right back into the Builder’s pocket, increasing their profit margin with your sale.
For nearly 16 years, Cindy has represented some of Gainesville’s custom home builders - Tommy Waters Custom Homes, Lash Development, and Golden Hammer. She will tell you, she knows construction “like the back of her hand”.
From floor plan design assistance, to guiding you whether or not the finishes or upgrades that are so appealing to you will get you a great return on your investment when it’s time to sell, Cindy is who you need to contact to assist you with your new construction home.
