Two decades of real estate experience.
A personal approach to every move.
Meet Taniya
Real estate, done the way I'd want it done for my own family.
I've worked around real estate since 2004, in roles that included marketing and client service, and I've been a Florida licensed sales associate since 2019. Over that time I've seen what makes a move go well and what makes it go sideways.
What I've learned is simple. People want someone who tells them the truth about the numbers and actually picks up the phone. That's how I work with every client, whether it's a first condo or a waterfront home.
Search homes
Find a home that fits the way you live.
Search by city, neighborhood or ZIP across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. If you'd rather, tell me what matters and I'll do the searching for you.
Buying
Find the right home, with someone in your corner.
From the first tour to the closing table, I help you compare homes honestly, write strong offers and avoid expensive surprises.
Buyer services SellingSell with a plan, a clear price and steady communication.
Pricing grounded in real comparable sales, thoughtful preparation and marketing that shows your home at its best.

A calm, clear process from first call to closing.
We start with how you live
Commute, budget, schools, timing, the things you can't live without. The search gets easier once we know what actually matters.
Honest numbers, every time
You'll see the comparable sales, the full monthly cost and the risks I see, explained plainly, so you can decide with confidence.
Strong offers and steady negotiation
I write offers to win and to protect you, with inspection, appraisal and financing terms that match your situation.
Someone who answers
You'll always know what's next, what's due and who's doing it. Real estate is stressful enough without wondering where things stand.
For sellers
Thoughtful preparation. Honest pricing. Marketing that does the work.
Selling well starts long before the sign goes up. I'll walk through your home with you, show you the sales that really compare, and help you decide which updates are worth doing and which aren't.
Then we present your home the way buyers actually shop today: strong photography, a clear description of what makes it special, wide online exposure and organized showings.
What's your home worth?
Get a market assessment from a person who has seen your home.
Online estimates can miss by a lot. I look at your home's condition, upgrades and the sales that truly compare, and walk you through what it's likely to sell for.
Specialized guidance
New construction, waterfront and luxury homes.
Each of these comes with its own contracts, inspections and insurance questions. Here's how I help.
Waterfront homes
Docks, seawalls, flood zones, elevation and insurance. Living on the water is wonderful, and careful due diligence keeps it that way.
Waterfront homesLuxury homes
Discreet showings, careful pricing and attention to the details that matter at a higher price point, including club and association questions.
Luxury homes
Moving to Northeast Florida
Relocating? Let's talk before you start searching.
Moving here from out of state, or for a military assignment? I'll help you understand how the areas compare on commute, schools, insurance and lifestyle before you ever book a flight.
Virtual tours, neighborhood video walkthroughs and a clear plan for timing the move are all part of it.
