FAQ
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, so the best thing you can do is prepare early and work with someone you trust. Start by getting pre-approved so you understand your true budget and can move quickly when the right home hits the market. Make a list of your “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves,” but stay open—sometimes the best homes are the ones you didn’t expect.
In a competitive market, be ready to act fast and lean on your agent for guidance on pricing, negotiation, and strategy. I help my buyers understand the market data, what to look for during showings, and how to write strong, clean offers that stand out.
Most importantly, don’t rush. The right home will feel like the right fit. My job is to protect your interests, simplify the process, and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
When selling your home, preparation and pricing are everything. Start by making your property look its best—small improvements like fresh paint, decluttering, landscaping, and professional staging can dramatically increase buyer interest and your final sale price.
Next, price strategically. The right price attracts more buyers, creates stronger offers, and often leads to a faster, smoother sale. I use up-to-date market data and local insight to help my sellers position their home competitively from day one.
Marketing matters too. Professional photography, online exposure, and a targeted marketing strategy ensure your home stands out, not just shows up.
Above all, choose an agent you trust to communicate clearly, negotiate confidently, and guide you through every step. My goal is to reduce stress, maximize your return, and help your home make the best possible first impression.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible range of clients — from coastal dreamers searching for sunrise views to country-loving buyers looking for wide-open space. From luxury homes with every upgrade imaginable to first-time homebuyers taking that exciting first step, I’ve guided clients through every corner and every level of the market. No matter the price point, the ZIP code, or the wish list, my commitment is the same:
Exceptional service, confident guidance, and a smooth, stress-free experience.
Wherever you’re headed — coast, country, or somewhere in between — I’m here to help you get home.
I have had many that I am fond of. Each client and property will have their own enjoyable moments, but my fondest memories are the ones that I was able to get them more money for their property by following the plan that we agree will help increase their offers. Depending on their strategy, maybe it's more important to be able to move and sell the property for a price that gets them where they need to go.
I was a Medical Practice Manager Consultant and my husband had been in Commercial Real Estate all of his career. He knew the high pressure and demands of that role and thought I should give real estate my professional experience. I'm so glad that I did!
Absolutely! I have been a Realtor since 2017 and have had many certifications that I know will benefit my clients. Sellers Representative Specialist, Military Relocation Professional, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, and Diversity Education.
