Get preapproved before you fall in love with a house, not after. Know your budget, know your must-haves, and be ready to move when the right one hits. Then let me do the worrying about inspections, negotiations and deadlines. And always look past the paint colors. Paint is cheap. Foundations are not.

Price it right from day one. An overpriced home sits, and a home that sits gets picked apart. Fix the small stuff, clear the clutter, and let great photos do the heavy lifting. Then lean on an agent who will market it hard, keep you informed, and negotiate like it's her own money on the line.

First-time buyers, move-up buyers, sellers who are downsizing, investors, estate and probate sales, relocations, and military families making PCS moves into and out of the Kansas City metro. I've worked on both sides of the state line in Missouri and Kansas, from fixer-uppers to dream homes.

One of my favorites just happened. I helped a couple buy their first home together, and before the ink was dry they asked me to sell the house they were moving out of. Getting trusted with both sides of someone's move is the best compliment I can get. They even left me a 5-star review. Repeat clients are my love language.

I got licensed in Missouri and Kansas in 2019 and started out helping other agents' buyers as a showing assistant. I fell in love with the puzzle of it and never looked back. I was named Redfin Rookie of the Year for 2021, and in 2023 I made RealTrends America's Best. Today I run KC Real Estate Squad, LLC with AddressUSA, Inc. My mission is simple: I don't want to build another table. I want to bring more chairs.

Yes! I hold the ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative), SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist), MRP (Military Relocation Professional) and AHWD (At Home With Diversity) certifications. I'm also a Missouri Notary Public and completed Loan Signing System training, so I can help with signings as an extra service. I'm licensed in both Missouri and Kansas.
