My biggest advice to any buyer is this: get clear on your goals, get pre-approved early, and work with an agent you trust. The market moves fast, and having a plan and the right guidance can make all the difference. Also, remember that buying a home is not just a financial decision, it's an emotional one too. So don’t just look for a house you like, look for a home that fits your lifestyle and future plans. Be patient, stay flexible, and when the right one comes along, be ready to act confidently. I’m here to make sure you feel educated and supported every step of the way.

First impressions matter, so make sure your home is clean, well-staged, and priced right from the start. Overpricing can lead to longer days on market and ultimately a lower sales price, while the right price can generate strong interest and multiple offers. Also, work with a real estate professional who understands your local market and has a strong marketing strategy. Professional photography, online exposure, and a well-executed plan can make a huge difference. My job is to help you prepare, market, and negotiate the best possible outcome so you can move forward with confidence.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, including first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, downsizing sellers, investors, and families relocating in or out of the area. I’ve also helped clients in unique situations, such as those dealing with probate, divorce, or distressed properties. No matter the situation, I focus on providing honest guidance, strong communication, and a smooth experience from start to finish. Every client’s needs are different, and I tailor my approach to make sure they feel confident and supported every step of the way.

One recent transaction that stands out was helping a family sell their home so they could move closer to their kids. Timing was critical, and there were a lot of moving parts, including coordinating the sale with their new purchase out of the area. We listed their home, marketed it aggressively, and secured multiple offers within the first week. What made it memorable wasn’t just the fast sale, it was the trust they placed in me to guide them through such an emotional and important transition. In the end, they got over asking price and were able to move smoothly into their next chapter. Being a part of that journey was incredibly rewarding.

I’ve always been passionate about helping people, and real estate felt like the perfect way to combine that with my interest in homes and investing. I started by working with clients who were going through tough situations, like needing to sell quickly or dealing with inherited property, and found that I really enjoyed solving problems and guiding people through big life decisions. Over time, that grew into a full-time career where I could serve buyers, sellers, and investors at all stages. Real estate isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely care about, and I treat every client’s situation with the same care and attention I’d want for my own family.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business, which gives me a strong foundation in marketing, negotiation, and finance, all of which play a key role in real estate. I also served a two-year service mission in Brazil, where I learned the value of hard work, communication, and genuinely helping people from all walks of life. That experience helped shape who I am today and why I care so much about serving others. Whether it's navigating a tough transaction or simply being there to listen, I bring that same dedication and purpose into my work with every client.
