I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients — from first-time homebuyers taking their exciting first step into ownership to seasoned sellers, investors, and families relocating to Central Kentucky. I also specialize in land and farm properties, helping clients find the perfect acreage for their lifestyle or investment goals. Every client’s journey is unique, and I take pride in providing personalized guidance, clear communication, and skilled negotiation to make each transaction as smooth and successful as possible.

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, so start by getting pre-approved to know your true budget and show sellers you’re serious. Work with a trusted Realtor who can guide you through the process, negotiate on your behalf, and connect you with reliable lenders and inspectors. Don’t skip the inspection—it protects your investment and can reveal costly issues early. Focus on location, lifestyle, and long-term value rather than cosmetic details, and be prepared to act quickly when the right home comes along. Above all, communicate openly with your agent and lender, ask questions, and stay within your comfort zone so your new home is a smart and satisfying move.

If you’re preparing to sell your home, start by making a strong first impression — curb appeal and clean, uncluttered spaces go a long way. Price it right from the start based on a professional market analysis; an overpriced home can sit too long and lose momentum. Work with an experienced Realtor who understands your market, can market your home aggressively online, and negotiate to get you the best terms. Make small improvements that add value — fresh paint, updated lighting, and clean landscaping can make a big difference. Be flexible with showings to maximize buyer traffic, and remember that presentation sells — professional photos and staging help buyers picture themselves living there. Finally, stay patient and open-minded through negotiations, knowing your Realtor is there to guide you every step of the way toward a smooth closing.

I recently had the pleasure of helping a wonderful family relocate to Central Kentucky from out of state. They were looking for a home with space for their kids to grow and enough land for a small hobby farm — a rare find in today’s market. Through detailed market research, virtual tours, and constant communication, we found the perfect property that met every need. After strategic negotiations, we were able to secure it under asking price with great terms. Watching their dream of Kentucky country living come true was incredibly rewarding — moments like that are exactly why I love helping families find more than just a house, but a true home.

I got started in real estate out of a passion for helping people and a genuine appreciation for what “home” means. What began as an interest in property and investment quickly grew into a career focused on guiding clients through one of life’s biggest milestones. Whether buying, selling, or investing, I’m committed to making the process personal, informed, and rewarding every step of the way.

Yes — I believe continuing education is one of the best ways to serve clients at a higher level. I’ve earned several professional designations, including ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative), RENE® (Real Estate Negotiation Expert), and SFR® (Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource), all of which give me advanced knowledge in representing buyers, negotiating successfully, and guiding clients through complex or distressed property situations. I also stay current on market trends, contracts, and technology to ensure my clients receive the most accurate information and strategic guidance possible. My goal is to combine experience, education, and clear communication to help every client make confident real estate decisions.
