Merrill joined First Coast Sotheby’s International Realty as an experienced Realtor from New Jersey. Her decade of working diligently to help her clients is evident in her love of helping people find their dream home. She also is exceptional in helping her clients sell their home so they can continue their journey. Merrill understands the nuance of the Florida lifestyle because she was raised with her two sisters in Tampa. She even worked at Busch Gardens during high school summers! After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta, her family moved to Manhattan, the Big Apple, NYC! She enjoyed the excitement and culture that the city offered and began her career in advertising. Merrill and her husband eventually moved to Central New Jersey to raise their 3 boys. While attending their activities and sitting in the stands cheering for their teams, she realized that her love of the area encouraged Merrill to start her real estate career. She loves the fast pace of real estate but especially helping people find their dream home. Utilizing her expertise in advertising and her love to help people—she is always excited to guide people on their journey to find their dream home or expertly market their home so they can fulfill another dream. After living and loving New Jersey for 25 years, her family decided it was time for their new chapter in Florida! Northeast Florida called and they listened! Their little slice of heaven is in Ponte Vedra Beach. Although two of her sons are already in the workforce, their youngest son attended Ponte Vedra High School. Starting a new school can be daunting but the teachers and students embraced their son and welcomed him with open arms. Merrill used her network of friends and family from all over to reach out to create new friendships in Ponte Vedra Beach. Merrill’s family was astounded by their kindness and how they welcomed them into their homes & hearts as well. Merrill also used this opportunity to learn to play golf on the gorgeous greens, take up tennis again and her new favorite hobby is now searching for shark’s teeth on the beautiful white sands of Ponte Vedra Beach! She is a Broker Associate in the Ponte Vedra Beach office and works throughout the First Coast of Florida. Also, she is part of Sotheby’s extensive global referral network. No matter where you want to live, Merrill will be there for you. Living the Lifestyle, connecting with people and helping her clients find their slice of heaven is her greatest enjoyment!
