First, get clear on your goals and your numbers before you start scrolling listings. Know what monthly payment you’re comfortable with, not just what you’re approved for. That clarity helps you move confidently when the right home pops up. Second, get preapproved early. A strong preapproval shows sellers you’re serious—and in this market, that can make the difference between getting your offer accepted or missing out. Third, focus on value, not hype. Don’t chase trends or headlines about interest rates or “timing the market.” Buy the right home for your needs and budget today—you can always refinance later if rates improve. Fourth, trust your agent. My job is to protect you, educate you, and guide you through every step—from negotiations and inspections to closing day. Bottom line: buying a home should feel like an informed decision, not a rushed one. My role is to make sure you understand why each step matters so you can make confident choices along the way.

First, pricing is everything. In today’s market, overpricing is the biggest mistake you can make. Buyers are more informed than ever—if your home is priced too high, it’ll sit, get stale, and ultimately sell for less after price cuts. A strategic price backed by market data attracts stronger offers faster. Second, presentation matters. From curb appeal to decluttering and professional photos, first impressions sell homes. You don’t need a full remodel—just smart, focused updates that make your home stand out online and in person. Third, be flexible and responsive. Whether it’s showing availability, feedback, or negotiations, flexibility builds momentum. The longer buyers wait for answers, the more they lose interest. Fourth, work with a professional who tells you the truth—not just what you want to hear. My job isn’t to “list” your home, it’s to sell it, and that takes strategy, communication, and experience. Bottom line: the market rewards sellers who prepare, price right, and partner with someone who knows how to position their home to win.

I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients—from first-time buyers navigating the process for the very first time to seasoned sellers looking to maximize their return and move into their next chapter. I also work with relocation clients moving to the Hill Country area, helping them understand not just the homes, but the lifestyle, schools, and communities that make this region special. On the other end, I’ve helped military families and veterans transition smoothly, leveraging my own background in the Army to anticipate their unique timelines and needs. In addition, I’ve represented luxury and acreage buyers looking for privacy, space, and Hill Country views, as well as investors focused on long-term appreciation and short-term rental potential. Every client is different—but my approach is the same: educate, serve, and deliver results through honest communication and clear guidance every step of the way.

One recent transaction that really stands out to me involved a family relocating to New Braunfels from out of state. They were nervous—new job, new schools, new everything—and needed someone who could help them navigate from afar. We started with virtual consultations to get clear on their goals, then I spent several weekends previewing homes and sending personalized video walkthroughs so they could make decisions confidently from a distance. Once we found the right home, I negotiated strong terms that protected their interests while keeping the deal moving smoothly. We hit a few bumps along the way—tight timelines, an appraisal issue—but through consistent communication with the lender, the listing agent, and the buyers, we kept everyone on track. When closing day came, they walked into a home that fit their lifestyle perfectly and told me, “We couldn’t have done this without you.” That one stuck with me because it reminded me what this business is really about—serving people, not just selling homes.

I got into real estate after retiring from the U.S. Army, where I served for 20 years. During that time, I learned the importance of leadership, communication, and taking care of people—values that translate directly into this business. After retiring, I worked in home remodeling, helping homeowners improve their spaces. That experience opened my eyes to the real estate side—how much strategy, timing, and education go into helping clients make smart decisions. I realized I wanted to be part of that process from start to finish. So, I became a REALTOR® to serve my community in a new way—by helping families and individuals find homes that truly fit their lives. My focus has always been on educating, serving, and delivering results, because buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions people make.

I’m a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), which means I’ve been trained to help sellers price their homes strategically and help buyers understand market value so they can make smarter, more confident offers. As an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), I focus on the entire home-buying experience—from finding the right property to negotiating the best terms—always with my client’s goals front and center. I’m also a Military Relocation Professional (MRP), which allows me to serve active-duty service members, veterans, and their families with a deep understanding of military timelines, VA loans, and PCS transitions. And finally, I’ve completed training in Understanding and Serving the Luxury Real Estate Client, giving me the tools to market high-end properties effectively and deliver the level of service those transactions demand. Together, these designations ensure my clients—whether buying, selling, or relocating—get professional, data-driven advice tailored to their situation.
