FAQ
Start by getting clear on your budget and priorities, not just the price range. Understanding monthly comfort, location preferences, and must-have features will save time and stress later. I also recommend getting pre-approved early and staying flexible — especially in competitive markets. The right strategy and guidance can make a big difference in both the home you get and the terms you secure.
Pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Homes that are prepared well and priced accurately from the start tend to attract stronger interest and better outcomes. My advice is to focus on first impressions, understand current local market conditions, and work with an agent who communicates clearly and advocates for your goals throughout the process.
I work with a wide range of residential clients, including first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, homeowners considering downsizing, and sellers navigating their next chapter. I enjoy helping clients who value clear communication, local insight, and a thoughtful, low-pressure approach to real estate.
One of the most rewarding experiences so far has been helping clients better understand the buying and selling process before making a move. Taking time to answer questions, explore options, and build confidence early often leads to smoother decisions and better outcomes when the timing is right.
Real estate was a natural fit for me because I’ve always enjoyed helping people make informed decisions during important life moments. Being a lifelong Louisville resident gave me a strong appreciation for local neighborhoods and how much the right home and location matter. I was drawn to real estate as a way to combine local knowledge, problem-solving, and genuine service while guiding clients through one of the biggest financial decisions they’ll make.
I’ve completed my Kentucky real estate licensing education and continue to invest in ongoing training focused on market analysis, contracts, ethics, and client communication. I’m also part of a brokerage that emphasizes professionalism, collaboration, and staying current with local market trends. My clients benefit from a thoughtful, well-prepared approach and clear guidance at every step of the process.
