The very first thing would be to get your finances in order (savings, credit report) and prepare for extra cost, make a list of your must haves, contact a knowledgeable Realtor that is patient, reliable, and client focus, who can guide you through the buying process. Stay flexible, patient and don't get emotionally attached to any one property too soon. Ask questions.. don't ever be afraid to ask any questions.

The advice I would give is to start with a realistic pricing.. lean on your agent for their market expertise and keep your emotions in check with the information that will be provided to you. Invest in small repairs, disclose any issues, concerns and/or fears and understand that first impressions matter. Most importantly, be flexible with showings and once we get an offer, make sure to take the time to review the offers and to discuss it with your agent.

I have worked with clients from all works of life. From first time homebuyers, to relocating military and civilian families, to investors buying and selling properties, to clients who were facing foreclosure, all the way to probate.

I am fond of all of my transactions... because I get to meet new people and help them with their real estate needs. But one of the ones that I just had the most fun with was the one with my young buyers, who got married and pregnant during our time together looking for their new home.

My start in real estate began with me becoming an investor... I love the financial freedom of owning properties and wanted to share in the process with other families.

Yes! I have a degree in business management and I was in the Marine Corps and Army. These experiences help me with time management, communication skills, trust worthiness, patience, and passion to help.
