Buying a home in San Antonio, especially in today’s market, comes down to strategy and preparation. Start by getting clear on your budget and getting pre-approved early (especially if you’re using a VA home loan). Then, focus on neighborhoods that match your lifestyle, commute, and long-term goals. (I can help you identify which ones those are!) As a military relocation specialist, I always tell my buyers: don’t just fall in love with the house - fall in love with the numbers. A smart purchase today sets you up for financial freedom later. And don’t worry, I’ll walk you through every step, from base housing comparisons to local lender tips, so your move feels seamless and stress-free.

The best advice I can give to sellers? Don’t underestimate presentation and pricing. Even in a hot San Antonio market, buyers scroll through hundreds of listings a day - so your home needs to stand out. I help sellers focus on high-impact updates like fresh paint, curb appeal, and professional photos that make online shoppers stop and click. If you’re in a community like Valley Ranch, Alamo Ranch, or Helotes, I’ll also position your home to compete against new construction while protecting your equity. My marketing strategy includes social media exposure, Compass tools, and targeting military buyers relocating to Joint Base San Antonio.

I work with a mix of amazing clients - from first-time buyers and military families relocating to San Antonio, to move-up sellers ready for their next chapter. Because I specialize in VA loans and military relocations, a large part of my business involves helping active-duty service members and veterans find homes near Joint Base San Antonio, Lackland AFB, and Randolph AFB. That said, I also love working with local San Antonio families and homeowners in 78254 who are preparing to sell or upgrade. Every client has a story - and I tailor my approach to fit each one.

One of my favorites was a sale in Valley Ranch. The market was shifting - listings were sitting longer - but my sellers trusted the process. We focused on smart pricing, eye-catching marketing, and weekly updates to stay ahead of competing homes. The result? Their house sold while others around them expired or were canceled. It wasn’t the flashiest home on the block, but consistent strategy and communication made all the difference. That’s the power of having a Realtor who is serious about the process and active versus reactive!

Real estate was a natural fit for me. As a military spouse, I’ve moved across the country and experienced firsthand how stressful relocating can be. That experience, and my background in marketing and communications, inspired me to create a real estate business that combines empathy, strategy, and education. Now, I get to help families find their next chapter with confidence, whether they’re moving across town or across the country. My business blends data-driven marketing with heart - and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Yes! I’m part of the Compass Military Division, a select network of agents specially trained to serve active-duty and veteran clients. What does that mean for my clients? I’m well-versed in VA home loans, PCS relocation logistics, and how to help military buyers and sellers maximize their benefits. Bonus - I have a large national network of incredible Realtors that I can connect my relocation clients with so they can continue to experience incredible service. I also continuously study the San Antonio market, staying current on local developments, new construction trends, and school ratings that impact home values. Combine that with ongoing Compass education and marketing certifications - and my clients get a Realtor who’s always one step ahead.
