Selling

Price is a strategy, not a guess. I read recent sales, active listings, pendings and expireds, then adjust for what makes your home different. Every adjustment is written down. Price for the search. Buyers shop inside price filters. A home at $301,000 never shows up for the buyer whose search stops at $300,000. Win the first 21 days. A prep walkthrough, photos that stop the scroll, a first-weekend open house and a quiet head start with buyers already in my network. A report every Monday. Showings, feedback, new competition and anything that sold nearby, in plain words, with my recommendation.

Buying

Know your number first. The right budget is the monthly payment you are comfortable with, not the biggest loan a lender will approve. Get pre-approved before you tour. Find it first. MLS alerts the moment a match lists, plus homes I hear about before they hit the market. Offers win on more than price. Earnest money, inspection terms, appraisal plan and closing date all matter. I learn what the seller cares about before we write a word. Know what you sign. Since August 2024, buyers sign a written agreement before touring. I walk you through every line, including exactly what I am paid.
