Gwen and her late husband, Joe, became members of Harbour Ridge in 1985. During that time, they have owned six properties within the community. They were the “first” resale when they sold their Mile Lake condo after completion of their first home in Mariner Village. She likes to tell the story about there being “no 4-way stop” when they first became members!
As avid golfers, as well as boaters, Harbour Ridge could not have been a better destination. Their love for the community is confirmed by over 35-years as members.
After a successful Computer Software Training career, along with getting a private pilots’ license, Gwen received her State of Florida Real Estate Sales License in 2009. She has been active in listing and selling properties in both Martin and St. Lucie Counties, but has devoted most of her Real Estate career to Harbour Ridge.
I have been an active and successful Real Estate associate for the past 20 years. I believe one must have experience, knowledge of and a passionate desire in what one does to be successful. Being prepared and staying focused with a positive attitude is my daily goal. Years have taught me that being supportive of those I work with creates a strong and effective team. Albert Schweitzer stated that “Success is not the key to happiness- happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful”. I do love what I do, and I can say that I am happy and proud of my success to have served those who value my expertise.
My first business entrepreneur venture of 15 incredible years was Seventh Heaven, a full-service spa and fitness center which continues to do business today under new ownership with 30 years of ongoing success. Both businesses have been not only financially rewarding but have given me the opportunity and pleasure to assist and support my many clients’ needs. The ultimate reward of both businesses is the many people and friendships that have developed over the years.
I carry 4 real estate credentials, ABR, CRS, CMAS and GRI and am a member of the Martin County Realtors Association and the National Association of Realtors. I was born in Maine, rasied in Massachusetts and later in Alabama, and then finally on to an amazing life adventure in Colorado. I have two boys that graduated from Auburn University who are quite successful in their chosen careers and continue to make their Mother proud. Both found their ideal mates and I have two grandchildren, ages 6 and 3 and two grand-dogs who bring so much joy into all of our lives.
I currently have the pleasure to extend my real estate experience to Florida residents and hold my Florida license in the office of Harbour Ridge Realty, Inc. located in Palm City. As I continue in my real estate career, I count it a blessing to assist those I meet in the process of home buying, selling, or renting. ‘Service Beyond Your Expectations’ is my promise to my clients. I look forward to meeting and assisting those who come my way here in south Florida, and in this unique and beautiful community of Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club, a gated lifestyle destination community of choice.
