About Me
My business is driven by my passion for helping people, and transparency is the KEY element in sharing SUCCESS with my clients!
I started in the Real Estate Industry in 2004, and my background in Customer Service and Sales helped me build a foundation for my business.
Growing up as a young girl, I worked very hard to support myself. I was always working one or two jobs and saving money.
I remember starting as a hostess in a restaurant with the goal of becoming a server. The owner helped me with that goal by challenging me to sell drinks and appetizers in the lobby while customers were waiting for their table on the busy Valentine's Day. I crushed that challenge, and he promoted me to server. This gave me a drive to set goals and achieve them.
When I meet with clients, I love to hear about their goals, and I make it my personal mission to help them achieve them.
My Values
Over the years, I have helped my clients purchase and sell hundreds of homes and, hands down, my favorite part has been the relationships I have built while sharing in the success of their Real Estate GOALS!
I believe in being HONEST, because my clients trust me to help them with the largest financial purchase and sale they have ever made. Gaining TRUST allows me to partner with my clients, and together, we create the best results!
I have built my Real Estate Career on referrals. I've achieved this by making it a priority to be available, compassionate, and knowledgeable with my clients at all times! My follow-through and dedication is proven through my client satisfaction, which has created a strong network of repeat customers and referrals!
My passion for helping people and loving what I do isn't my only strength. I begin each client journey with a custom marketing plan and pair it with my market savvy and strong negotiation skills.
When representing sellers, I also create optimal listing opportunities by including staging, photography and effective pricing strategies to gain the best advantage in the market and obtain the best results.
When it comes down to it, though, the partnerships I establish with each client to create the Best Real Estate investment to achieve their goals is what forms the foundation for our mutual success.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am here to help, and I look forward to working with you!
Are You in the Market to Buy?
Buying a home is more than just a big purchase...it’s a major life moment.
Whether you're dreaming of your first place or searching for your next chapter, I’m here to make sure you start this journey with clarity and confidence.
Whether you're a first time buyer or a seasoned investor, buying a home is a big decision.
Here is how I make it easier for you:
Goal-Based Guidance: I'll ask the right questions to understand your goals...not just about your budget or location...also about your lifestyle and future vision.
Clear Communication: I'll break down every step so you always know what to expect...no jargon, no pressure, no surprises.
Local Market Insight: With over two decades of experience, I'll help you recognize a smart opportunity and avoid costly mistakes.
Offer Strategies That Win: With me on your team, you'll get the tools, tactics and negotiation power to compete...and succeed...in any market.
Do you have more questions?
Take a look through the Buyer Q&A below. It’s packed with honest answers to help you feel informed and empowered.
When you're ready, tap the Dream Home Search button to start exploring homes that fit your needs, dreams and goals.
Then together...let’s find the one that feels just right.
How to get your finances in order before buying a home?
The first thing you’ll need to do is put money aside for a down payment. This amount is (at minimum) 5% of the purchase price of the home you’re planning to buy. Second, you’ll need to meet with a mortgage broker to determine what you can afford. Shopping around for the best rate is highly recommended.
Why is finding a real estate agent you feel completely comfortable with so important?
A real estate agent can help you find your dream home, that meets both your needs and your budget. They will set you up with viewing appointments, and also help bring clarity to the complicated process of buying a home. You’ll want to go with an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent who you can be sure will represent your best interests.
What happens after an offer is negotiated and signed around?
After you’ve negotiated an offer, you’ll need to conduct a home inspection and deal with any repairs (the cost of which you can also negotiate with the seller). Finalize your mortgage with a visit to your lender, and you’re ready to sign off on ownership. This typically takes place in a lawyer’s office.
Looking to move up, out or down?
You're not just selling a property...you're passing on a chapter of your life.
This is why I treat your sale with the respect it deserves while delivering results you can feel proud of.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing or moving on to something new, I’m here to make sure you feel supported, informed and confident every step of the way.
Here is how I make it easier for you:
Customized Pricing Strategy: Your home is unique, and I'll build a pricing plan based on deep knowledge of the local market...not just online estimates.
Strategic Marketing That Works: From professional photography to targeted exposure, I'll position your home to stand out and sell quickly.
Honest Feedback & Clear Results: I don't believe in fluff or false promises. I give you the truth and back it up with action and results.
Skilled Negotiation & Follow-Through: I don't just list homes...I close them. With your goals front and center, your success is my mission...from listing day to closing.
Are you ready to list your home?
Start by reading through the Seller Q&A below. It covers the key things every homeowner should know before listing.
When you're ready, tap the Schedule a Consultation button, and we'll get together to talk about your goals, your timeline and the best strategy to get you the results you deserve.
How do I know what my home is really worth?
Your home’s value isn’t just based on what you paid or what you hope to get, it depends on current market conditions, recent comparable sales, and the unique features of your property. Online estimates can be misleading. I provide a customized Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that reflects real-time data and local buyer trends to price your home right from the start...not too low, not too high, but in the sweet spot that attracts serious buyers and strong offers.
What should I do to prepare my home for sale?
First impressions matter. Decluttering, deep cleaning, and handling minor repairs can go a long way. I’ll walk you through what really makes an impact...from staging tips to cost-effective updates...so you don’t waste time or money on unnecessary improvements. I’ll guide you room-by-room to ensure your home is market-ready and shines in both photos and showings.
How long will it take to sell my home?
This depends on your price point, location, condition of your home, and the current market. In a well-priced, well-prepared listing, many homes go under contract quickly...sometimes within days. I’ll give you a realistic timeline based on the latest market data and create a personalized plan to help you meet your desired move-out goals with minimal stress and maximum return.
