Moving to Fort Lauderdale

Liz has lived in ten cities, so she knows a move is about far more than the house. For buyers moving to Fort Lauderdale, she starts with how you want to live: on the water or close to Las Olas, near the beach, the yacht club, or the golf course. Then she narrows the neighborhoods and the homes. The goal is the location that fits the way you live, and a life and network here once you arrive.

She frequently works with buyers relocating from the Midwest, the Northeast, California, and other major markets, and can coordinate the sale of a home in another city through trusted real estate relationships before you buy in Fort Lauderdale.

Waterfront and boating

On the water, the details decide the house. Liz helps buyers evaluate ocean access, fixed bridges, dockage, canal position, the run to the Intracoastal and the inlet, and which waterways suit fishing, offshore boating, cruising, and dinner by boat. Two waterfront homes at the same price are rarely the same.

New construction, land, and development

Liz works closely with builders, architects, and developers throughout East Fort Lauderdale. She helps buyers find teardown properties, off-market land, and redevelopment opportunities, compare new construction with resale, evaluate builders and locations, and assemble the team to take a project from land acquisition through completion. Developers call her to source land, shape the product, and sell the finished homes.

For sellers

Sellers get a strategist and a negotiator. Liz pairs local market intelligence and careful pricing with detailed preparation, premium media, invitation-only events, outreach to buyer agents, and the national and international reach of Douglas Elliman, then negotiates to protect your result.

Before real estate

Liz spent nearly two decades in luxury hospitality, corporate sales, and the meetings and convention industry in major markets across the country. That career shaped how she works today: anticipate needs, move quickly, manage the details, and make the experience feel seamless.

In the community

A Coral Ridge resident, Liz is active in Fort Lauderdale's business, civic, and charitable life, including the Charity Guild of Fort Lauderdale, where she has chaired two 500-person spring luncheons. Her areas of focus include Coral Ridge, Coral Ridge Country Club Estates, Las Olas Isles, Harbor Beach, Rio Vista, Bay Colony, Lauderdale Harbours, Lauderdale Beach, Victoria Park, and the surrounding waterfront neighborhoods.
