I always tell my buyers to start with a clear game plan and a trusted agent by their side. Get preapproved early so you know your budget and can move quickly when the right home comes along. Be prepared to act fast, but don’t skip important steps like inspections or understanding your contract. Also, remember to focus on the big picture. The neighborhood, schools, commute, and long-term value matter just as much as the paint color or countertops. Most importantly, stay patient and positive. The right home is out there, and having the right guidance makes all the difference.

I always encourage sellers to focus on presentation and preparation. A clean, well-maintained home that feels bright and welcoming makes a strong first impression. Pricing it correctly from the start is also key to attracting the right buyers quickly and avoiding sitting on the market too long. Be open to feedback from showings and trust your agent’s expertise on marketing and negotiation. The goal is to make your home stand out in the best way possible so it sells for top value and with less stress.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of clients including first-time homebuyers, growing families, sellers looking to move up or downsize, investors, and new construction buyers. Each client’s situation is unique, and I enjoy helping them navigate the process with personalized guidance and care. My goal is always to make the experience smooth, informed, and rewarding from start to finish.

One of my favorite recent transactions was helping a sweet family purchase their very first home. They had been renting for years and were nervous about the process, but we took it step by step together. We found a beautiful home that checked all their boxes, and through clear communication and teamwork, we were able to negotiate a great deal and close smoothly. Seeing their excitement on closing day was the best reminder of why I love what I do.

I began my career in education, where I spent ten years dedicated to serving students and families. That experience strengthened my communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, as well as my ability to guide others through important decisions with patience and understanding. Over time, I felt led to pursue my long-time interest in real estate. The transition was a natural fit, allowing me to use those same professional skills to educate and support clients through one of the most significant investments of their lives.

Yes. In addition to my background in education, I’ve earned professional designations as a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR). These specialized trainings allow me to help clients understand market value, price their homes competitively, and navigate the buying or selling process with confidence. Combined with my years of experience in education, I’m able to clearly explain each step, advocate effectively, and ensure my clients make informed, well-guided decisions throughout their real estate journey.
