One of the most important steps you can take before touring a single home is getting your approval letter or proof of funds in hand. The market doesn't wait for anyone — the perfect home could be the very first one you walk into, and if you're not ready to make an offer, you risk losing it to someone who is. Being prepared financially puts you in a position of strength from day one.

Buyers need to be able to picture themselves living in your home. That's hard to do when personal photos, excess furniture, and clutter fill every room. Pack away personal items, clear countertops, and give every room a thorough cleaning. A clean, neutral space feels larger and more welcoming.

One of my most memorable recent transactions involved a seller who was transitioning into a senior assisted living facility. The property was held in a trust with multiple family members involved — which adds its own layer of complexity — but it came together beautifully. When I sat down with the family to discuss pricing, they had modest expectations. They had a number in mind and were fully prepared to accept something below it. I listed the property higher than they had anticipated, and the market responded. We didn't just get one strong offer — we received multiple offers above asking price. From there, it was about strategy. Rather than simply chasing the highest number, I helped the family evaluate each offer carefully. We accepted the one with the fewest contingencies, which in real estate is often the smarter play. A cleaner offer means fewer opportunities for things to go sideways before closing. Then came the inspection phase. The buyer's agent failed to submit repair estimates within the timeframe required by the contract — and because of the contingency language in the offer, I was able to protect my sellers completely. The seller was not required to make a single repair or update to the property. To top it all off, the accepted offer was cash, which eliminated financing delays and streamlined everything. The family pre-signed their closing documents in advance, so they didn't even need to attend closing. I simply called them with the news that the funds had been wired and we were officially closed. They walked away with more money than they ever expected, zero repair costs, and a stress-free closing experience. For a family navigating an already emotional transition, that outcome meant the world — and honestly, it doesn't get much smoother than that.

My real estate journey began in 2004 — and right from the start, it was clear this path was going to be anything but conventional. I got my license while pregnant with my first child. Rather than receiving encouragement, my very first broker suggested I should be staying home instead of trying to sell real estate. That kind of doubt didn't stop me — it motivated me. I moved to another brokerage and kept going. The next pivotal moment came during the real estate bubble. When the market collapsed and homeowners across the country began losing their properties, my second brokerage advised me to stay away from short sales. I saw it differently. I saw families in crisis who needed someone in their corner — people who were desperately trying to protect their credit and salvage what they could from an incredibly difficult situation. So instead of avoiding short sales, I joined a brokerage that was becoming a top performer in exactly that space. I wanted to help people, and that's what I did. Eventually, as that brokerage shifted franchises, I found myself operating under restrictions that limited how I could market myself and serve my clients the way I believed they deserved. So in 2015, my husband José and I made the decision to open Luna Listings — our own brokerage, built on our own terms. This was before the era when teams could simply brand themselves as a business while operating under a large brokerage umbrella. We built something real, independent, and truly ours. Twenty years later, that first child I was carrying when I got my license? She's now a licensed real estate agent herself, with a Bachelor's degree in commercial real estate. That's a full circle moment I couldn't be more proud of. I got into this business to help people find their dream home. That mission has never changed — only grown. And there's nothing quite like being your own boss, both literally and figuratively.
