The best thing you can do as a buyer is to be prepared. Start with a mortgage pre-approval so you know exactly what you can afford, create a clear list of your priorities, and work with a trusted real estate professional who can guide you through the process. With the right preparation and the right team, you’ll be in the best position to find and secure the home that’s right for you.

Selling your home successfully starts with preparation. First, make sure the property shows its best—simple updates, decluttering, and professional photos can make a big impact. Pricing is also critical; setting the right price from the start attracts serious buyers and helps you sell faster. Finally, work with a knowledgeable agent who understands your market, creates a strong marketing plan, and negotiates in your best interest. With the right strategy, you’ll maximize both your time and your return. ? Thinking about selling? Reach out today for a complimentary home evaluation

I’ve had the opportunity to work with all kinds of clients—first-time buyers just starting out, families looking for more space, downsizers ready for a simpler lifestyle, and investors building their portfolios. I also have a lot of experience with new construction, helping clients understand the process from design choices to builder negotiations. Whether you’re relocating, moving up, or selling and buying at the same time, my goal is always the same: to make the process clear, stress-free, and successful for you.

I recently worked with a couple who were ready to downsize but didn’t want to give up the comfort and warmth of a true “home.” They were looking for single-level living with modern conveniences, but still wanted space to host family and friends. After exploring a number of options, we found them a beautiful new construction ranch-style home that checked every box. We carefully navigated the building and selection process so they could add the personal touches that made it feel like theirs. On closing day, they told me it was exactly what they hoped for—a fresh start that still felt like home.

Who doesn’t love real estate? For me, it was the perfect fit—I wanted a career where I could truly help people while also being challenged to keep learning. From laws and regulations to styles and market trends, there’s always something new, and that’s what keeps me inspired every day.

Yes. I’ve invested in ongoing real estate coaching and training to stay at the top of my field. I’m coached by the Tom Ferry organization, one of the leading real estate coaching companies in the country, and I’m also a member of BAMX, a community of top real estate professionals who share insights, strategies, and the latest industry trends. Along with staying current on laws, regulations, and market changes, this ongoing education allows me to give my clients the strongest guidance and results possible.
