Hi, I'm Desiree
"After moving to Central Florida from Key West, I fell in love with the lake life that exists right here in Polk County."
Most people know me as The Lakefront Lady. I specialize in lakefront and lake-adjacent homes, and I help you understand not only the homes, but the lakes, the neighborhoods and everything that comes with living near the water.
I wrote this guide so you can choose your town with confidence from anywhere, then I'm one call away when you're ready for the next step.
"Desiree was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she always made sure I understood every step of the process. I would absolutely recommend Desiree to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Polk County."Kelly Oxford · Google review
