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 1982.     
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.
