Don’t just shop for a house. Shop for a lifestyle. Think about your commute, the coffee shop you’ll walk to on Saturday mornings, or where the kids (or fur kids) will play. Talk to a lender before you fall in love with a home so you know exactly what’s realistic for your budget. And please, don’t open any new credit cards during the process. That new couch can wait until after closing.

First impressions count both online and in person. Declutter, brighten things up, and let me help stage your home so it shines in photos and showings. Price it strategically, not emotionally, and trust the data and me to attract the right buyers. Don’t stress over every little thing. Your job is to keep the place show-ready. My job is to get it sold for top dollar.

Pretty much everyone. First-time buyers with zero real estate experience, seasoned investors looking for their next big flip, and families relocating across the country. I’ve helped buyers score no-money-down loans, sellers land multiple offers in days, and out-of-state clients buy sight-unseen with confidence. Licensed in both Kentucky and Indiana, I work with a wide range of price points and property types.

I recently worked with a young couple buying their very first home. They qualified for a no-down-payment, no-PMI loan, and we negotiated to have the sellers cover their closing costs. They got a home they loved and kept more money in their pockets for furniture and updates. The best part was seeing their faces when I handed over the keys. They were grinning ear-to-ear and already planning their first BBQ.

I’ve always had a passion for real estate, but I started out in the business world running companies, negotiating contracts, and managing big projects. Eventually I realized I could take those skills and apply them to helping people with one of the most important purchases of their lives. I jumped in, got my license in both Kentucky and Indiana, and never looked back.

Absolutely. My background includes years of experience in contract negotiation, market analysis, and property management, plus advanced training in buyer representation, staging, and marketing. I also keep up with continuing education so I’m always ahead of market trends, loan programs, and legal updates. On top of that, I’m proud to be part of RE/MAX, the number one most trusted name in real estate, which gives my clients access to unmatched resources, market reach, and brand recognition. The more I know and the stronger my network, the more I can protect and empower my clients.
