Connect with a Realtor from the beginning. They will be able to guide you throughout the entire process with providing you critical information about lenders and different loan products to market trends in different areas, new construction, new regulations and rules, the local economy and demographics on areas you are interested in searching in.

Spend time with a professional Realtor up front to assist you in getting your home staged properly from the very beginning. Oftentimes Seller's think de-personalizing a home is the best way to sell their home, or they move out completely and then make the call to have the home listed. That can actually hurt your marketing efforts. Allow a professional to come in and take a look and provide you with advice on how to best stage and market your home.

I have worked with both Seller's and Buyer's in Virginia. I am knowledgeable about land and land development.

I remember all of my transactions. But more times than not, I enjoy helping a retirement family looking to sell in order to move to their final destination or the first time Buyer looking to make their first major investment in their future!

I started in real estate back in 2002 when the market was on fire. I wanted to be closer to my children who had just started school and was tired of the commute to DC from Stafford, VA. I never imagined I would be embarking in my lifelong career and have loved every minute of it!

I educate myself yearly. I take continuing education each year, I take classes to educate my clients on new laws regarding home ownership benefits, changes in flood insurance, home insurance, taxes, and legal documents as well. I take many classes on the latest technology so that I am effectively marketing my listings and providing my Buyer's with the best tools to make an informed decision.
