After obtaining a bachelor's degree in education from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Jody was drawn to the professional world and worked in the human resource management field for several years. Having family in Florida, Jody found herself visiting often, drawn to the warm weather and Florida lifestyle. She decided to permanently move in 2009 eventually residing in Venice and pursuing her dream of a career in real estate. Although born and raised in a small town in the South, Jody has lived in various locations and experienced many real estate markets. She understands that one thing always remains the same whether buying or selling a home in southern Illinois or near the sunny beaches of Florida, it is a complex process and can be stressful. She focuses on making the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. Jody prides herself on being proactive, professional, confidential and involved in the entire process from beginning to end. Educating and caring for customers looking to buy or sell real estate comes naturally to Jody. She specializes in helping people making a local move, selling their current home and purchasing another, but she loves working with first-time buyers as well. While the process can be stressful, she focuses on making the transition enjoyable and rewarding by getting to know her customers and meeting their needs. Jody joined Premier Sotheby's International Realty in 2017 with one goal in mind: to better serve her customers using the latest technology while understanding that "old-fashioned" values like professionalism and morals still matter to people. During a transaction as emotionally and financially important as buying or selling a home, the person who holds your hand during the process needs to be an expert and genuinely care about you and your family's best interest. Jody has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Premier Agents amongst Premier Sotheby's Venice office consecutively since 2019. She has been certified to be a Premier Sotheby's International Relocation Specialist. In her free time, she enjoys the opportunities surrounding Venice and Sarasota County by participating in 5K races, spending time at the beach and being an active member of the Venice Chamber of Commerce. She also volunteers and serves on several local committees and Boards that serve Venice and surrounding communities, including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Venice Sertoma Board of Directors, and the Venice High School Baseball Team Diamond Boosters and local not-for-profits such as Child Protection Center and the YMCA. Jody considers herself fortunate to share all of this with her husband Jeff, their daughter Easton and their son Clayton.
