The best advice I can give is to get prepared early. Start by getting pre-approved so you know exactly what you can afford — it also makes your offer much stronger when you find the right home. Be clear about your must-haves versus your nice-to-haves, and stay flexible because the perfect house on paper doesn’t always exist. Finally, partner with an agent who will communicate openly, negotiate hard, and guide you through every step. My job is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible so you can focus on getting into the home you love.

Selling a home is all about first impressions and smart strategy. Before we list, I always recommend taking a little time to declutter, deep clean, and tackle any small repairs that could turn off buyers. From there, pricing is everything. I use real-time local market data to help you set the right price from the start — one that attracts attention and drives offers without leaving money on the table. My job is to handle the details, market your home aggressively, and negotiate on your behalf so you can move forward with confidence and as little stress as possible.

I’ve worked with clients in different situations — from first-time buyers figuring out the process to homeowners ready to make a change. My background as a veteran, law enforcement officer, and paramedic has taught me how to stay calm under pressure, solve problems quickly, and communicate clearly — all skills that translate directly into real estate. Every client’s story is different, and I take the time to understand their goals so I can guide them through the process with confidence and less stress.

One that really sticks with me was my first closing. The seller was trying to handle it for sale by owner on his childhood home after his parents had passed away. It was an emotional process for him, and on top of that, he was only getting tire-kickers and lowball offers. Once he listed with me, I put together a strong marketing plan and within just three hours, we had a full-price offer. Seeing the relief on his face and knowing I helped him move forward during such a difficult time is exactly why I do what I do.

After years in the military, law enforcement, and emergency medicine, I realized I wanted a new way to help people through big life transitions — and real estate was the perfect fit. Buying or selling a home can be overwhelming, and I wanted to use my experience staying calm under pressure, solving problems, and guiding people through stressful situations to make the process easier for my clients. It’s been a natural shift for me, and I love being able to combine my local knowledge with my drive to serve others.

While I don’t yet have any of the fancy real estate designations, my background has given me a unique skill set that directly benefits my clients. As a veteran, law enforcement officer, and paramedic, I’ve spent years making high-stakes decisions, solving complex problems, and communicating clearly under pressure. Those same skills now help me negotiate effectively, anticipate challenges, and guide my clients through the buying or selling process with confidence and less stress.
