About Jeannette   My Mission I believe Integrity and Ethics are the most important ingredients of business and any transaction.   I want Buyers and Sellers to understand every step of a transaction and work hard to keep all parties informed.  If a Buyer is not "set up" for success from the beginning, through financing, attitude and a business plan, then the Buyer will probably not succeed in the business.  I want my Buyers to succeed as Innkeepers and strive to work with them throughout their innkeeping careers by staying in touch with brainstorming on ways to improve and grow their businesses.  I measure my success by my Buyers´ successes, not my income.  Background Jeannette became a licensed Florida Real Estate Sales Associate in 1985 while working at Merrill Lynch as a Series 7 Account Executive.
