Buying a home in today's market — whether in Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Madison, Mayodan, Eden, Reidsville, Greensboro, Kernersville, High Point, or anywhere across Rockingham, Guilford, Forsyth, and Stokes Counties — requires preparation, strategy, and guidance from a trusted local expert. My first advice is to get pre-approved with a reputable lender before you start looking. In the Triad, homes can move quickly, and having your financing ready gives you an edge over other buyers. Pre-approval also helps you know your budget and makes your offer stronger in the eyes of sellers. Second, choose a REALTOR® who knows the local market inside and out. Every town — from Greensboro and High Point to smaller communities like Walnut Cove, Stoneville, and Browns Summit — has unique pricing trends, schools, and neighborhood dynamics. A skilled agent can help you spot hidden gems, avoid overpriced listings, and negotiate effectively. Licensed since 2003 with over two decades of experience and approaching 1,000 transactions, I bring deep knowledge of what homes are truly worth and which neighborhoods fit different lifestyles. Third, be ready to act quickly but don't skip due diligence. In a competitive market, hesitation can cost you a home, but rushing without inspections or understanding the process can create bigger problems down the road. I guide my buyers step by step, making sure you feel confident while still moving fast enough to secure the right property. Fourth, consider your long-term goals. Think beyond just square footage and price. Do you need land for future growth? Easy access to highways for commuting to Greensboro or Winston-Salem? Proximity to schools in Oak Ridge or Stokesdale? I encourage buyers to think 5–10 years ahead so their investment fits both their current and future lifestyle. Finally, trust the process and communicate openly with your agent. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, and having a REALTOR® who listens, explains, and advocates for you makes all the difference. My role is not just to help you find a house, but to guide you to the right home with confidence and clarity.

Selling a home in today's market — whether in Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Madison, Mayodan, Eden, Reidsville, Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, or anywhere in Rockingham, Guilford, Forsyth, or Stokes Counties — is about preparation, pricing, and presentation. My first advice is to choose the right REALTOR® who knows your market and has a proven marketing plan. Every community in the Triad is different. What works to sell a home in Greensboro or High Point isn't the same strategy that works in Reidsville, Walnut Cove, or Stoneville. Licensed since 2003 with decades of proven excellence, I ensure your home is positioned correctly from the start with strategies tailored to your specific market. Second, pricing your home right from day one is critical. Overpricing leads to stale listings and price drops, while underpricing leaves money on the table. I use deep local data and AI-certified analysis to recommend a price that attracts buyers quickly while protecting your equity. Third, presentation matters more than ever. Professional photography, staging, and curb appeal make a powerful first impression. In today's digital-first world, buyers often "decide" online before they ever step foot in your home. That's why I incorporate SEO-rich listing descriptions, targeted digital ads, and AI-certified marketing systems to maximize visibility on platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and social media. Fourth, be flexible and ready for showings. The more accessible your home is, the faster it will sell. Sellers in Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, and surrounding towns who allow easy access for qualified buyers typically see stronger offers and shorter time on market. Fifth, understand that negotiation is more than just price. Terms, repairs, timelines, and financing all matter. A skilled agent will protect your interests, minimize stress, and help you walk away with the best overall deal. Finally, trust the process. From first-time sellers and downsizers to estate/probate representatives and move-up families, I work closely with clients to create a smooth experience. My combination of RamseyTrusted endorsement, CRS, SFR, e-Pro, and AI Certified expertise means you get both traditional guidance and cutting-edge strategy. Selling a home is one of the most important financial decisions you'll make. With the right preparation, pricing, and marketing, combined with an experienced local REALTOR® who understands the Piedmont Triad, you can achieve a faster, smoother sale — and maximize your return.

Licensed since 2003 with extensive experience as a REALTOR® with Howard Hanna Allen Tate, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients across the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. With approaching 1,000 successful transactions, my experience spans from helping first-time homebuyers take their first step into ownership to guiding families through complex estate sales. I've worked with: First-Time Home Buyers and Sellers — Guiding clients in Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, and Kernersville who are navigating the process for the first time, ensuring confidence and clarity every step of the way. Move-Up Buyers and Growing Families — Helping families in Greensboro, High Point, and Reidsville sell their current homes and move into larger properties that fit their lifestyle. Downsizers and Empty-Nesters — Assisting clients in Oak Ridge, Walnut Cove, and Madison who are ready to simplify, scale down, or move closer to loved ones. Relocations — Working with corporate transfers, military families, and those moving into the Triad from out of state, especially in Forsyth, Guilford, Rockingham, and Stokes Counties. Estate and Probate Sales — Providing compassionate, detailed support for families handling the sale of inherited properties in communities like Eden, Mayodan, Stoneville, and Rural Hall. Investors — Assisting local and out-of-state investors purchasing rental homes, land, and farms across Rockingham and Guilford Counties. Unique Property Owners — Marketing and selling farms, land tracts, barns, and specialty homes in rural and suburban areas like Sandy Ridge, Germanton, Belews Creek, and Browns Summit. My client base is diverse, but the common thread is trust. From Ramsey Trusted families seeking financial peace to seasoned investors looking for the right returns, clients appreciate my mix of traditional values, CRS-level expertise, and AI-certified marketing strategies. No matter the client type, my mission is the same: to provide consistent, clear communication, cutting-edge marketing, and a seamless experience tailored to their goals.

One recent transaction that stands out to me was helping a family in Reidsville, NC (27320) sell their parents' longtime home as part of an estate sale. They lived out of town and felt overwhelmed by the process — from preparing the home for market to handling showings and negotiations. I coordinated everything locally: arranging contractors for repairs, scheduling professional photography and staging, and launching a targeted marketing campaign that reached buyers across Rockingham and Guilford Counties. Because the family trusted me to manage details they couldn't handle in person, they were able to focus on what mattered most while I took care of the logistics. Within just a few days, we received multiple offers — all above asking price. I guided them through the negotiations, inspections, and closing process, ensuring the sale stayed smooth and stress-free. What made me most proud was when the sellers told me they felt "at peace" during what could have been a very emotional and difficult time. This transaction reflects what I strive to bring to every client — clear communication, hands-on service, and a blend of traditional care with modern, AI-certified marketing strategies. Licensed since 2003 with decades of proven excellence and approaching 1,000 transactions, whether it's an estate sale, a first-time home seller in Stokesdale or Oak Ridge, or a relocating family in Greensboro or High Point, my goal is always the same: to make the process seamless, successful, and personal.

I was raised on a tobacco farm in Rockingham County, where I learned the value of hard work, responsibility, and integrity from an early age. Those lessons shaped who I am today — someone who doesn't shy away from challenges and understands the importance of land, family, and community. After earning my degree at High Point University, I owned and operated a restaurant for 8 years, where I sharpened my skills in customer service, consistency, and business management. That experience gave me the foundation to transition into real estate, licensed since 2003 with a proven track record — a career that combined my roots in the land, my love of people, and my drive to build lasting relationships. Since then, I've helped approaching 1,000 clients buy and sell homes, farms, and land across the Piedmont Triad, including Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Madison, Mayodan, Eden, Reidsville, Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, Walnut Cove, Germanton, and beyond. I've been recognized in the top 5% of REALTORS® nationwide and hold multiple advanced designations including CRS, SFR, e-Pro, AI Certified, and RamseyTrusted. The farm taught me hard work. The restaurant taught me service. High Point University gave me community. Real estate gave me purpose. Today, I combine those experiences with cutting-edge marketing and AI-certified strategies to deliver results while staying true to my values of honesty, loyalty, and consistency.

Yes — education and training are cornerstones of my business, and they directly benefit my clients. Licensed since 2003 serving the Piedmont Triad for over 20 years, I've committed to continuous improvement and advanced certifications so I can deliver the highest level of service and results. I hold multiple designations and endorsements, including: CRS – Certified Residential Specialist (the top credential for residential REALTORS®, held by less than 3% nationwide). SFR – Short Sale & Foreclosure Resource, specializing in guiding clients through complex and distressed property transactions. e-Pro – Digital Marketing, ensuring my sellers get maximum online exposure and my buyers benefit from real-time tools. AI Certified Real Estate Agent, making me one of the first agents worldwide to formally integrate artificial intelligence into real estate marketing, negotiation, and client service. Ninja Selling Certified, trained in a proven system focused on relationship-based selling, client service, and building repeat/referral business. RamseyTrusted Real Estate Professional, endorsed for integrity, service, and results. In addition to these designations, I actively invest in personal coaching and professional development: I'm a coaching client with the Tom Ferry Coaching Network, one of the most recognized real estate coaching platforms in the world. I'm also a coaching client with Dave Ramsey's organization, aligning with the same financial principles that many of my Ramsey Trusted clients value. I'm also a proud High Point University graduate, a former restaurant owner, and someone who was raised on a tobacco farm in Rockingham County — life experiences that instilled hard work, business sense, and deep community roots. By combining these certifications, coaching, and real-world experience, I provide my clients with the best of both worlds: traditional values and trust, backed by cutting-edge training, marketing strategies, and negotiation skills. Whether buying or selling in the Piedmont Triad — Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Greensboro, High Point, Reidsville, Madison, Mayodan, Eden, and beyond — my education and training work to your advantage.
