Andy believes the advent of new technology is at the cornerstone of the recent growth and he strives to incorporate this technology at the very heart of Gulf Coast Property Management.

Her family always wintered in West Palm Beach, Florida where her grandmother owned a motel, and she spent the summers on the lake in Salem, Vermont, where her grandfather owned several cottages (property management must run in her blood).

When she graduated from college, Bobi accepted a job managing a prominent law firm owned by a local judge in Manchester, New Hampshire. She was soon offered the exciting opportunity to take on the role of Advertising and Marketing Agent for two real estate offices in Grafton County, New Hampshire, where she quickly was labeled such titles as; “The Advertising Angel” & “The Social Butterfly of Social Media.” That was her first introduction into property management where she excelled at seeing a diamond in the rough.

Then later purchasing and renovating her dream home; a 3-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom historic Victorian in Squam Lakes Region, New Hampshire.

Her duties included overseeing 6 beach front resorts located in Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key & Siesta Key (a total of 250 individually owned condominiums). When you like people as much as Bobi does, customer service comes naturally. She recently bought a small 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Sarasota as her first Florida investment property.
