Ginger is one of the few people lucky enough to be raised and spend most of her life in the tropical paradise known as Marathon in the Florida Keys.  After graduating from the University of the Americas in Mexico City with a degree in International Relations, Ginger returned to her home town of Marathon to pursue a career in real estate.  It didn't take long for Ginger and her mother Marylin to decide that this would be the family business; they co-founded their first real estate brokerage firm in 1981.     
Since then, the Marathon office has thrived due to their knowledge of the town and their profession, as well as their continuing dedication to customer service.  Marylin and Ginger are also very involved in real estate ventures in Costa Rica, with sales offices and development projects currently in the works.  Please contact Ginger with any questions that you may have regarding Florida Keys or Costa Rica real estate.

A recent graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Real Estate, Aaron first fell in love with the Florida Keys on a camping vacation in 2000.  Having never seen such clear and turquoise water, he immediately fell in love with the area and looked forward to a permanent move to paradise.  After a bit of travelling and a career with a commercial appraiser in Atlanta, Aaron came to the conclusion that an agent works just as hard regardless of where they are located.  With this realization and a distaste for the 'frigid' Georgia winters, he packed up his belongings and headed South!  Aaron is a licensed Florida Realtor and a  'Jack of all trades', helping the broker and other agents provide their clients with a pleasant sales or purchase experience.
