FAQ
My advice to buyers is to start by getting pre-approved, so you understand your budget and are ready to move quickly when the right home appears. Be clear about your needs versus wants, and stay open-minded—sometimes a home with small updates can become your perfect space. I also encourage buyers to work closely with a knowledgeable realtor who understands the local market. I guide my clients through every step, from finding the right property to negotiating the best terms and making the process smooth and stress-free.
My advice to sellers is to prepare the home so it shows at its best—small improvements, fresh cleaning, and good staging can make a strong first impression. Pricing the home correctly from the start is also important, as it helps attract serious buyers and avoids unnecessary delays. I recommend working with a knowledgeable realtor who understands the local market and can market the property effectively. I guide my clients through pricing, presentation, and negotiations to help them achieve a smooth and successful sale.
I have worked with a wide range of clients, including first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, investors, and families relocating to Northeast Ohio. I also work with clients purchasing new construction homes and those selling properties across different price ranges. My goal is to provide personalized service to each client, no matter their situation or experience level.
I started my real estate career because I have a passion for helping people find the right home and feel confident in their decisions. With a strong interest in housing, customer service, and community development, real estate was a natural fit for me. I enjoy guiding clients through the process, building relationships, and making each transaction as smooth and successful as possible.
Yes. I hold an MBA in Marketing and have worked across multiple industries, including IT, recruitment, customer service, vendor management, property tax, and more.
