Originally from West Virginia, I could have picked anywhere in Florida to reside, and am proud to have put down roots in East Volusia County. Having called Central Florida my home for over 30 years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to Team Vasile. Over the years, I have invested in our community and have owned several successful businesses in Port Orange, Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Ponce Inlet, Ormond Beach and New Smyrna Beach. The knowledge I acquired by living and thriving in our area now becomes an advantage to you in the real estate business. As a member of Team Vasile, my marketing approach is based on real-life experience. From the hidden restaurants on the beaches of New Smyrna to the Green Market supporting our local farmers at the Pavilion in Port Orange, I take pride in the niches of our community. Believing deeply in family and community values, I am also a proud member of Autism Speaks.

Real estate is a "people business", with success depending not only upon technical expertise and skill, but also the development of personal relationships. Because I truly enjoy living and working in Port Orange, Florida, I always consider a client’s interests and concerns as if it were my own property purchase. Buyers, sellers, and their agents work closely together, which makes trust and camaraderie key elements to a cohesive real estate relationship.

At Team Vasile, I combine enthusiasm for the real estate business with proven experience. With my sense of humor and commitment to service and expertise, I earn repeat and referral business because I offer a customized, personalized touch. It is my joy and pleasure to work for people who, in return, acknowledge my hard work with the greatest compliment of all: a referral.

Commercial or residential, buy or sell, let me help you find the perfect solution to your real estate needs within the best coastal area of Florida: Volusia County.
