Don’t rush the process—start by getting pre-approved and know your numbers. A clear budget helps you shop with confidence and act quickly when you find “the one.” Trust your gut, but also lean on your agent’s expertise to spot red flags and opportunities. The right home should fit both your lifestyle and your long-term goals.

Preparation and pricing are everything. A clean, well-maintained, and properly priced home attracts serious buyers faster and often brings stronger offers. Listen to feedback, stay flexible, and focus on the end goal. My role is to make the process smooth and strategic—so you can move forward with peace of mind.

I’ve worked with first-time homebuyers, growing families, downsizers, investors, and rural landowners across Acadiana. Many of my clients are faith- and family-focused people who value honest communication and personalized guidance. Whether it’s a starter home, a hobby farm, or an investment property, I enjoy helping people make smart, confident moves.

One of my favorite recent sales involved helping a family sell land that had title complications from a past tax sale. I coordinated with the right title attorney, helped clear up the issues, and we successfully closed the deal. It was rewarding to see everything come together after months of problem-solving—and to know that my diligence made a real difference for them.

After years of serving others through church work, banking, and education, I realized real estate combined all the things I loved most—helping people, solving problems, and guiding families through life-changing moments. I became a Realtor in 2014 and quickly found my passion for making the buying and selling process clear, calm, and rewarding for my clients.
