Get pre-approved early. This shows sellers you’re serious and helps you know your true budget. Be realistic about your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves. Flexibility often opens up more great options. Move quickly, but not impulsively. In competitive markets, hesitation can cost you the home—but make sure it’s the right fit before committing. Understand the market conditions. Your offer strategy should reflect whether it’s a buyer’s, seller’s, or balanced market. Lean on your agent’s expertise. From writing a competitive offer to negotiating inspections, having a pro on your side is key to getting to closing.

Price it right from day one. Overpricing can cause your listing to sit; correct pricing generates strong early interest. Stage and present it well. Clean, declutter, and make minor repairs so buyers see the home’s best side. Be flexible with showings. The more people who can view the home, the faster it’s likely to sell. Highlight what makes your home unique. Whether it’s location, updates, or special features, make sure those are front and center in marketing. Be ready for negotiations. Keep your emotions in check—remember, it’s a business transaction, and the goal is to reach an agreement that works for both sides.

I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, including first-time home buyers, seasoned investors, and home flippers, as well as sellers at every stage of life. My experience extends to navigating all types of financing, including FHA, Rural Development (RD), VA, and other guaranteed loan programs, as well as conventional and portfolio loan options. This diverse background allows me to guide my clients through the buying or selling process with confidence, ensuring they are well-informed and supported every step of the way.

With over 20 years in the real estate business, I’ve had countless transactions that hold a special place in my heart, making it hard to choose just one. What stands out most to me is the lasting relationships I’ve built along the way. Many of my past clients have become friends, and I’m honored to receive referrals from them—often introducing me to their closest friends and family. Those moments, where trust turns into lifelong connections, are the true highlight of my career.

For 22 years, I worked as an LNA, Skill Level 3, caring for geriatric patients, including those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It was deeply rewarding work, but eventually, I felt a pull toward a new chapter. I’ve always been a people person, and I love being able to make a difference in someone’s life—so real estate felt like a natural fit. Now, instead of helping patients through the stages of aging, I help people through some of life’s biggest transitions—whether it’s handing the keys to a family starting their journey or guiding a homeowner through the process of downsizing. Every day is different, and every client has a story. That’s what keeps me passionate about what I do.
