FAQ
Get Pre-Approved – Before house hunting, secure a mortgage pre-approval to understand your budget and strengthen your offer.
Know Your Needs vs. Wants – Identify must-have features versus nice-to-haves to stay focused.
Work with a Knowledgeable Realtor – A great agent (like me!) can guide you through negotiations, market trends, and paperwork.
Be Financially Prepared – Save for the down payment, closing costs, and unexpected expenses. Avoid making major purchases before closing.
Research the Market – Understand the neighborhood, home values, and future resale potential.
Don’t Skip the Inspection – Always get a professional home inspection to avoid costly surprises.
Be Patient but Decisive – The market moves fast; don’t rush, but when you find the right home, act quickly.
Think Long-Term – Consider how the home will fit your needs in 5-10 years.
Price It Right from the Start – Overpricing can scare off buyers, while underpricing may leave money on the table. A market analysis will help determine a competitive price.
Boost Curb Appeal – First impressions matter. Clean up landscaping, repaint the front door, and ensure the home looks welcoming.
Declutter & Stage – A clean, well-staged home allows buyers to envision themselves living there. Remove personal items and excess furniture.
Make Necessary Repairs – Address minor fixes like leaky faucets, chipped paint, or loose handles to show the home is well-maintained.
Market Strategically – High-quality photos, virtual tours, and a strong online presence help attract more buyers.
Be Flexible with Showings – The more accessible your home is for showings, the faster it will sell.
Negotiate Wisely – Be open to negotiations but also know your bottom line. A good agent (like me!) will help you navigate offers.
Prepare for the Inspection & Appraisal – Address any potential red flags beforehand to prevent delays.

I wanted to flip homes so I decided to get my real estate license to learn more about the industry and then I fell in love with the whole concept of being a realtor. I absolutely love real estate.
Discipline & Work Ethic – My military training instilled a strong sense of discipline, time management, and commitment, ensuring you handle transactions with precision and reliability.
Strong Negotiation Skills – Military experience teaches strategic thinking and problem-solving, which helps you negotiate the best deals for your clients.
Attention to Detail – Just like in the military, missing small details in real estate can have big consequences. Your ability to analyze contracts, market trends, and property conditions gives your clients confidence.
Adaptability & Quick Decision-Making – In a fast-moving market, you can assess situations quickly and adapt strategies to meet buyers' and sellers' needs.
Commitment to Service – My dedication to serving others translates into a client-first approach, ensuring you go above and beyond to meet their real estate goals.
Understanding VA Loans & Military Relocations – As a veteran, I have firsthand knowledge of VA loans, PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moves, and the unique challenges military families face when buying or selling homes.
Trust & Integrity – Military service fosters honesty, responsibility, and strong ethical standards, building trust with my clients and making me a reliable advocate in your real estate journey.
