It is important to get a buyer's consultation. This helps you go through all the steps of purchasing a home so you are best prepared when buying.

Hire a listing agent who does more than take a few photos and put them in the MLS. You need someone who will work for you, not just with discussing your pricing, but also with staging if needed, cleaning, professional photos, marketing, and negotiating skills.

I have worked with all types of clients from first-time home buyers to empty nesters looking to land at their final home.

I had someone reach out to me on Facebook about helping them find their first home. We met over coffee and discussed the home-buying process. I talked with them about their wants and needs in a home. We set expectations of when they would like to start and when they would like to be in their home by. We ended up finding the perfect home for them that was updated so they could do the work to make it their own. They loved that it hadn't been updated and had lots of charm. They closed starting with over $15,000 in equity before any updates or changes have been made.

I was working a 9-5 job and I wanted something that allowed me to own my schedule. I decided to dip my toe into real estate and have never looked back.

I have my MBA in Business Management. It has helped me to be able to better negotiate for my clients and end up with more win-wins. I also am At Home With Diversity certified. It is very important to me to represent anyone and everyone who has a dream of home ownership and to help show them how to get there.
