Get pre-approved and get clear on your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves before you start looking. In a market like ours—especially around Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, and Land O’ Lakes—homes can move fast. When you're prepared, you can move confidently without second-guessing. Also, don’t go it alone. Work with an experienced Realtor (like me!) who knows the local market, understands builder incentives, and can guide you through inspections, contracts, and negotiations. It’s not just about finding the right home—it’s about protecting your investment long-term. Ask questions, trust your gut, and make sure you’re buying with both your heart and your head.

First—presentation matters more than ever. Buyers today shop with their eyes, and homes that are clean, staged, and well-marketed sell faster and for more money. That’s why I specialize in vacant home staging and professional video marketing to make listings stand out. Second, price it right from day one. Overpricing leads to longer days on market, lowball offers, and lost momentum. I use local data and my experience in neighborhoods like Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, and Land O’ Lakes to help sellers hit that sweet spot—where the home sells quickly and for the best price. And finally—stay flexible and responsive. The market shifts, and the more adaptable you are with showings, feedback, and strategy, the faster we’ll get to the closing table.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of clients—each with unique goals. I’ve helped first-time homebuyers in Wesley Chapel navigate the process with confidence, and I’ve guided seasoned sellers in New Tampa who wanted to maximize their return and move into new construction homes. I work with: Sellers of vacant homes who want expert staging to stand out in the market Buyers relocating to Pasco and Hillsborough County, especially families looking for top-rated schools Investors purchasing land and resale properties for long-term gain Canadian homeowners selling Florida properties, including those dealing with FIRPTA Move-up buyers selling and buying simultaneously, often transitioning into new construction communities in Land O’ Lakes and Lutz Homeowners with expired or stagnant listings, who need fresh marketing, staging, and strategy No matter who I’m working with, my focus is always on clear communication, market expertise, and delivering results that feel like a win.

One that really meant a lot to me was a listing in New Tampa for a close friend. When she called and said, “Let’s grab coffee,” I knew what that meant—she was getting ready to sell her home and move on to a new chapter. Getting a home show-ready can be overwhelming, especially for someone juggling family, work, and life changes. But I brought in my experience—not just as a Realtor, but as the owner of a vacant home staging company. Using her existing furniture, a few small tweaks, and some strategic styling, we completely transformed her home without breaking the bank. The results? We sold the home in just 4 days for over $1.7 million. It was a beautiful win—not just because of the sale, but because I got to help someone I care about feel confident, supported, and proud of their home every step of the way.

I bought a home—and I was hooked. The process, the possibilities, the excitement of finding the right fit—it all clicked for me. I knew right then I wanted to help other people experience that same feeling. What started as a personal journey turned into a full-time passion, and I’ve never looked back.

Yes! Along with being a full-time Realtor, I also own a professional home staging company, which gives my sellers a major advantage. I’ve spent years studying buyer behavior, home design, and marketing strategies that make listings pop—especially online. I also stay on top of market trends, contract changes, and builder programs across Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, and the surrounding areas, so my clients always have the latest info at their fingertips. Whether it’s pricing, prepping, or negotiating—I bring the knowledge and strategy to help you win.
