How I Got Here

As a realtor for five years, I was constantly being asked by new residents where they could go to meet people or find local groups.

And honestly, as a bit of a homebody, I didn’t really have the answers. But that question stayed with me. So I started exploring, the neighborhoods, and the people in them. The ones quietly moving our community forward with connection and care.

The idea was there… but fear got in the way, and I let it sit.

What Changed

It wasn’t until I had my daughter that everything came into perspective. Motherhood reminded me how much we all need community. Not just as parents, but as people, dreamers, doers, and humans trying to find our place.

So this time, I didn’t wait. I grabbed fear by the hand and started anyway.

And Sincerely Sunny SWFL was born.

Why I do This

Because helping you relocate is not the only goal.

I don’t just want to help you move here, I want to help you feel at home here.

In the process, I’ve found silent book clubs, women’s circles, running crews, cooking groups, and some of the most passionate local business owners.

What started as a search for community turned into a love for the people and places that make it.

Highlighting small businesses and sharing what’s happening around town isn’t a job, it’s what I’d be doing anyway. Now I just get to bring you along with me.

And yes…

I’ve joined 5+ local clubs and thats just the beginning.

Local spots, people and events happening around us.
