FAQ
If you're looking to buy a home, the best thing you can do is start by knowing your numbers. Get pre-approved so you understand exactly what you can afford, including your monthly payment, taxes, insurance, and potential repair costs. Don’t chase perfection, there’s no such thing as a perfect home, but there is a right one. Focus on what truly matters like location, layout, and safety, and be flexible on things you can update later. Make sure you’ve saved more than just the down payment, it's closing costs, inspections, moving expenses, and small updates can add up quickly.
Throughout the process, ask questions and lean on your Realtor to guide you (that’s what we’re here for!). Homes can move fast, so it’s important to stay ready with your paperwork and finances in order. Most importantly, think long-term. This isn’t just a purchase, it’s a step toward building wealth and creating security for your future.
If you're preparing to sell your home, start by understanding that presentation and pricing are everything. First impressions matter, so declutter, deep clean, and stage your home to highlight its best features. A little effort here can mean a faster sale and a higher offer.
Next, price your home strategically. Don’t rely on the Zestimate; it’s just a rough algorithm and doesn’t consider upgrades, local market trends, or the real-time condition of your property. Instead, work with a local real estate professional (like me!) who can provide a detailed market analysis and help you price it right from the beginning.
Be flexible with showings and open to feedback. The more accessible your home is, the more eyes you get, and more competition often means better offers. Also, understand that the highest offer isn’t always the best offer. Review terms carefully: cash versus financing, contingencies, and closing timelines all matter.
Finally, keep emotions in check. You're selling a property, but buyers are purchasing a house they’ll turn into a home. Stay focused on your goals and trust your agent to help guide you every step of the way.
I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including veterans who benefit from my knowledge of VA loans and dedication to clear, respectful communication. First-time homebuyers are close to my heart, I guide them patiently through every step so they feel confident and informed. I also partner with investors to help identify smart opportunities and maximize returns. For sellers, I focus on strategic pricing, preparation, and marketing to ensure a smooth process and the best possible outcome. No matter your real estate goals, I bring experience, care, and a personalized approach to help you succeed.
One recent transaction that stands out involved working with an investor looking to expand their rental portfolio in the Raleigh area. The client was focused on finding properties with strong cash flow potential and solid long-term appreciation.
We started by analyzing market data together to identify neighborhoods with growing demand and reasonable entry prices. After narrowing down options, I helped negotiate aggressively to secure two properties under asking price, both with great upside.
Throughout the process, I coordinated inspections, connected the client with trusted lenders, and ensured a smooth closing timeline. The client was thrilled not only with the deals themselves but with how streamlined and professional the entire experience was.
It was rewarding to be a true strategic partner, helping my client build wealth while minimizing hassle. That’s the kind of results and service I strive to deliver for every investor I work with.
I got started in real estate early, growing up watching my father purchase and manage multiple properties. I would help him turn those properties during vacancies, which gave me hands-on experience and a real appreciation for the business. Later, while attending Georgia State University, I met an investor who asked me to help find off-market properties. That experience truly sparked my passion for real estate, and I’ve been in love with the industry ever since.
Yes! I bring valuable construction experience along with strong negotiation skills to benefit my clients. My background in construction helps me assess property conditions accurately, identify renovation opportunities, and estimate repair costs realistically. This insight is especially useful when reviewing inspection reports or advising on fixer-uppers. On top of that, I’m a skilled negotiator who advocates fiercely for my clients—whether it’s securing the best price, favorable terms, or addressing repair requests. Combining these strengths ensures my clients make smart decisions and get the most value in every transaction.
Answered Questions
Problem with neighbors preventing sale of lot?
I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your lot. While your agent is guiding you through this, it's important to remember that disclosure laws vary by state, and you're generally required to disclose any material facts that could affect a buyer's decision or the property's value. A neighbor altercation could be considered a material fact since it may impact the buyer's enjoyment or safety. There typically isn't a specific timeframe for disclosing neighbor-related issues, they should be disclosed as soon as they're known or relevant. Because these situations can be legally complex, I strongly recommend seeking legal advice to ensure you're fully compliant without discouraging potential buyers unnecessarily. Working closely with your agent and an attorney can help you create clear, honest disclosures and potentially provide context or solutions that ease buyer concerns. If you need, I can assist in connecting you with a trusted real estate attorney.

Do I need a home inspection for new construction?
Absolutely, I'd still recommend getting a home inspection for a new construction home. Just because it's brand new doesn't mean it's perfect, sometimes things get missed, like wiring, plumbing, or other stuff that could cause headaches later. Having an inspector check everything out gives you peace of mind and a chance to fix any issues before you move in. It's always smart to be safe and know exactly what you're buying!
