North Dakota Golf Instructor Finds Plenty of Time to Practice as Stirling Sotheby's International Realty Associate
ORLANDO – North Dakota professional golf instructor Erin Wanner longed to move to Florida where she could ply her profession in Florida’s year-round sunshine.
Now the first female instructor to join the staff at Isleworth Country Club is leveraging her skills at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty’s World Marketing Center in downtown Orlando.
Wanner said she spent two years practicing and playing golf on almost every golf course in Central Florida. She hones her skills by putting around the office.
“I have a practice green right outside my office,” she said. Her office – on the 16th floor penthouse suite in the Plaza’s north tower overlooks the downtown Orlando skyline.
Wanner says she has particular expertise in Central Florida golf course homes.
“I recently developed a video clip to demonstrate that finding out the current value of your home is as easy as sinking a short putt,” she said
