Michael Saunders is pleased to welcome Kaley Lewis to the Punta Gorda Office.
With a background in business finance, Kaley began his real estate career in the mortgage sector. After performing as a top producer, he soon elevated his position to both management and training roles. In 2005, he was offered a position to move to Florida, so he packed up and made his way from Kansas City.
Working with and learning from true professionals that sold properties, Kaley found real estate to be his calling. The transition from the finance end to selling property was very fluid, as he was able to incorporate the knowledge from both areas to help his customers in achieving their real estate goals.
