Meet the team

" Never start a business to 'make money'. Start a business to Make a Difference."

People often ask me, “What does JDT Servicing stand for?” The name of our business represents the most important people in our lives, our children. We want to inspire them to make a difference in whatever they choose to do, as we do here at JDT. When we started this business 5 years ago, there was a need for qualified processors and closers. This profession requires people who are compassionate, problem-solving, and charismatic...and here we are! Buying a house is not only an investment for the future but a place you will call home. You need someone who understands the sensitivity, and complexity of this industry. At JDT Servicing we pride ourselves in nurturing each and every one of our customers throughout the process. We aim to make your transaction seamless, and as effortless as possible! 

 "My experience in real estate begins in the early 2000s in mortgage financing at the beginning of the rise of home purchases, particularly in Florida. My career continued in finance sales through 2011, working for major mortgage lenders and banking corporations as a loan officer, team lead, and area sales manager. As the real estate and mortgage finance environment developed I moved to a smaller financial institution working on the processing, closing, and secondary market interaction for over seven years. As my experience in the interworking of a broad spectrum of the finance, a world led me to the title and closing market of the industry which works with all parties to the real estate transaction. The requirement is the same, “the customer must be heard and guided” to ensure that their experience is as positive and informative as possible. While my finance career made me an expert on the challenges each buyer must work through obtaining a loan all the while engaging with their realtor that is representing their interests and getting a grasp on the challenges they have. The closing experience has reinforced that every professional in the industry must uphold the fiduciary responsibility to their client and work as a team. I take my job, career, and experience very seriously, albeit with an attempt at levity, to get to know each client as they require so, in the end, they feel secure in their choice of professionals. While the inclusion of secure technology can make the experience very seamless for a buyer, seller, and their agents, I still make sure I go out of my way to engage those who prefer direct interaction. Every Client is Different, Every Transaction is Different, Every Result should be a Happy Customer!" 

  "Around here, however, we don’t look backward for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious … and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." - Walt Disney

I’m always on to new things, new journeys to explore, forever endeavoring to advance myself as well as the success and well-being of my family. My professional background is in Human Resources and Corporate Management with over 10 years of experience. Title Insurance Processing is a new adventure for me. The challenge of mastering a new skill set was too much to pass up. The opportunity to interact with so many new clients and ensure they have a positive experience whether buying or selling their home, absolutely overjoys me. Over the last six years, however, I took a professional hiatus to expand our family. During that time my husband, daughter, and I welcomed two beautiful sons to our family. We are now a complete Party of 5. I am an avid long-distance runner and gym junkie. Our family is HUGE Disney fan and regularly frequent the parks.

 " My job is to make sure the client is treated as if I was the client." 

In an age of a fast paced society, taking ownership is the single most important thing you can do in a process to achieve success. I have over 12 years of experience in my field and apply that every day. In our industry we understand that every experience is customized to the client's needs and we adapt to make sure we have a successful outcome. What we understand is that if you don’t have a client you don’t have a business, it’s that simple.

I enjoy speaking with people from around the world and helping my clients with their transactions.

I work hard to make sure every transaction is as stress-free as possible for everyone involved. 

"We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.” - Arianna Huffington

I am a dedicated professional with over 10 years of experience, as an administrator and assistant in a wide range of business settings.  Mainly concentrated in customer and support services.  I love to challenge myself to thrive in new and changing environments, I strive for success, and most importantly, I love people. Helping others and developing relationships whether it be in a personal or professional setting – is very rewarding for me. 

I am blessed to be a wife, and mother of 2 wonderful adult children that still help me grow and learn daily.  I enjoy spending my free time with them and going on new adventures.
