If you're looking to buy a home in Columbus or Central Ohio, my best advice is to get pre-approved early, know your must-haves, and work with an experienced REALTOR® who understands the local market. A strong pre-approval demonstrates to sellers that you're serious and gives you a competitive edge. As a buyer's agent and negotiation expert, I use my market knowledge, proven home search strategies, and access to off-market listings to help you find the right home faster — and secure it for the best possible price. My goal is to guide you through the entire home-buying process, from your first showing to closing day, making the experience smooth, informed, and successful.
