Having moved over a dozen times during my childhood, I had to find things to love about each place  — to make it feel like mine; to make it feel like something I connected to and to make it feel like home.  And so I did, finding a bit of magic in things large and small in all the new places I’d lived. I learned to think of moving as a grand adventure, where I got to play a “part” as the perpetually new kid in a new school, new street, new house. What may have started out of necessity became a habit and then turned into a passion.

Over the decades that followed, I  received a design degree from Pratt Institute and worked as a designer  in NYC. I enjoyed the work but missed being surrounded by people, so I returned to school to pursue psychology and became a counselor. That career fed my desire to connect, to encourage, to frankly – be of some help to those who came to me with their struggles. It also made me appreciate on an entirely new level how incredibly diverse and beautiful we all are, and how much our struggles ultimately make us better for them.

Eight years ago, my husband and I discovered Southwest Florida and fell madly in love with Bonita Springs. We both decided to pursue our true passion — real estate. We began as part time agents but soon realized we could not imagine a more satisfying career. We quickly obtained broker’s licenses and opened our own company, growing from two to four to a full service real estate team of eleven in only  eight years!

Living here and helping people on their new journeys has been a blessing. We love everything about Bonita, from the fantastic weather year around to phenomenal food, but mostly – the people who we have had the great fortune to meet along the way.  Contact me today to learn more about the sale or purchase of your home.  I am the founder and co-owner of The Dellatorè Real Estate Group and I am at your service!
