Team JL, Watson Realty Corp. · Gainesville, FL

Operate at the intersection of business development, client service, project coordination, digital strategy, and real estate, often across projects where no single participant controls the entire process.

• Coordinate complex work across buyers, sellers, builders, designers, trades, vendors, lenders, HOAs, and other stakeholders, building the cross-functional judgment and follow-through required to keep projects moving through competing priorities and dependencies.
• Lead business development and client relationships for Team JL, applying nearly two decades of local-market experience to long-term, referral-driven growth.
• Designed and built TeamJLHomes.com, evolving a traditional real estate website into a custom platform with thousands of property pages and dozens of MLS, public-record, and local-data connections.
• Turn ambiguous business and user problems into requirements, workflows, data logic, content, testing plans, and working solutions using AI-assisted development.
• Lead ongoing product decisions across property search, new construction, seller tools, local data, analytics, SEO, and internal workflows.
• Use analytics, Search Console, user behavior, and real-world agent and client needs to continuously improve how information is organized and delivered.

Transferable strengths: Cross-functional coordination, influence without direct authority, product ownership, client judgment, and the ability to move between business needs and technical implementation.
