Make sure to get preapproved by a reputable loan company. I have a home lender that is fantastic. Just reach out to me if you would like to have the information.

Price It Right: Proper pricing is crucial. Overpricing can lead to a home sitting on the market for too long, while underpricing might result in leaving money on the table. Use a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine the right price based on current local market conditions. Prepare Your Home: First impressions are key. Advise sellers to clean, declutter, and stage the home to highlight its best features. Consider small upgrades like fresh paint, landscaping, or minor repairs to make the home more attractive to potential buyers. Work With a Knowledgeable Realtor: A skilled agent can help navigate pricing, marketing, and negotiations. Having a strong online presence and marketing strategy is essential to attract the right buyers. Be Flexible With Showings: The more accessible the home is for showings, the higher the chances of attracting serious buyers. Encourage sellers to keep the home in "show-ready" condition. Negotiate With Confidence: It’s important to respond to offers strategically. Sellers should be open to negotiation, but they should also keep their bottom line in mind and not feel pressured to take the first offer. Consider the Timing: Market trends vary by season and area. Help the seller understand if it's a seller's or buyer's market in their region and adjust strategies to get the best deal.

I have worked with all types of buyers and sellers, I have experience with divorces, young families who want to relocate, and older folks as well. I also work with new construction buyers.

Just about all of my deals have been easy with no problems. The one that stands out is one where the market was totally a sellers market and there was a lack of inventory as well. I told my buyer that I would go out and get a listing for him to purchase. Within a week that came true and my client was able to purchase the home.

My career in real estate began as a teenager when I started a vacant house cleaning business. This experience led to a position in a property management office, followed by a role at a title company. I later worked with Legacy Partners, where I contributed to the development and management of corporate business malls. From there, I transitioned to working with new home construction builders, and ultimately established myself as an independent realtor.

What sets me apart from other realtors is my extensive and diverse background in the real estate industry. Starting my career with a vacant house cleaning business, I gained firsthand knowledge of property upkeep and presentation. This early experience evolved into positions within property management, title companies, and corporate real estate development with Legacy Partners, where I played a key role in building and managing business malls. My experience also extends to working closely with new home builders, allowing me to understand the construction process and what buyers value in a newly built home. As an independent realtor, I draw from these varied roles to offer clients a comprehensive understanding of every aspect of real estate, from property preparation to complex transactions, giving me a unique edge in navigating the market and delivering exceptional results.
