Find an agent you trust. Get pre qualified so you know what you can afford. Hold a clear vision of what you want.

Even if it sounds cliche, curb appeal matters. The current market wants clean, open space. Fresh interior or exterior paint can make you $10,000++ in a sales price.

Move up buyers and sellers looking for more space, relocation clients moving for work, investment properties and second homes, first time home buyers, luxury sellers and buyers.

I was able to get 2 off market offers for my client who is selling a unique property. Having 2 offers allowed us to get the highest possible price for my clients and they didn't have the disruption of being on the market. Another win for a client happened when, for whatever reason, the homeowner was there at the showing unexpectedly. It was awkward at first but we all bonded over each others stories and goals. When we wrote an offer and another offer came in, the owner went with us without even trying to drive up the price because she liked us so much! We could give her the terms she needed and it was a win all around.

After years in magazine publishing, I moved to Phoenix to be closer to my sister (who was already working in real estate) and she suggested I get licensed so we could be partners.

I use a mindful approach to eliminate and mitigate the stress and frantic nature that comes with buying and selling homes. I incorporate years of mindful training and practice into every deal and for every client.
