Thoughtful guidance for today's home buyer.

As a licensed real estate professional, I offer one-on-one guidance to help you navigate every step of the buying process. Whether it’s your first home or your next investment, I’m here to make the experience clear, confident, and stress-free. 

Frequently Asked Buyer Questions

The first step is understanding your needs and goals, including location, budget, and home style. I can help you clarify your priorities and guide you through pre-approval with a trusted lender so you’re ready when the right home comes along.


Affordability depends on your income, savings, debt, and lifestyle goals. I work with you to evaluate realistic price ranges and connect you with lenders who can provide accurate pre-approval amounts.


Absolutely. Pre-approval strengthens your position with sellers and helps focus your search on homes within your budget. It also makes the process smoother once you find the right property.


Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but I’ll guide you step by step—explaining contracts, timelines, inspections, and negotiations—so you feel confident throughout the process.


The timeline varies, but from starting your search to closing, it typically takes 2–4 months for most buyers. I’ll help you stay organized and proactive so your experience is efficient and stress-free.


Yes. Coordinating a purchase and sale can be complex, but with careful planning and strategic timing, we can make the process smooth and manageable.


Online listings are a starting point, but having an agent ensures you have expert guidance, access to the most up-to-date information, and advocacy during negotiations and inspections. You also gain someone who knows the market, strategy, and details that aren’t obvious online.


I offer one-on-one, design- and detail-focused guidance throughout your buying journey. From understanding spaces and layout to negotiating strategically, I help buyers see the potential in every property and make confident decisions.


Determine a fair asking price starting with the comps.  We will compare the location, updates, and condition of the property  to other homes that have been recently sold. HR will write up the offer and deliver.


An inspector will cover features of the house such as electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, insulation, as well as structural features of the home and may unveil issues that are not noticeable.


Location is just as important as the home itself. I provide insights on schools, amenities, commute times, and community feel to help you find a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle. 


Under Contract? Time is of the Essence
