Buying a Home

Buying a home isn’t a solo mission—it’s a team effort. Alongside trusted lenders, inspectors, and title pros, I encourage clients to bring their own A-Team: family, friends, even pets who help with the vibe check. I also believe technology belongs at the table. From research tools to mortgage calculators, today’s buyers have powerful resources—and I want to know what you trust and use. I’ll share my go-to tools and help you build the right mix of experts, insights, and support so you feel confident every step of the way.

Before we step into the market, we sharpen our tools. That means getting your pre-approval and financial docs dialed in—because clarity is power. This step sets the tone: You’re serious. You’re ready. You’re holding a strong hand.

Knowing your finances is about more than paperwork. It’s knowing your priorities, your comfort zone, and your goals. With that clarity, we walk into every conversation with confidence and leverage.

I’m meticulous about spotting risks early and using every detail as a negotiating lever. Whether it’s foundation work, outdated systems, or fine print in a disclosure, I read between the lines so you’re never caught off guard. Knowledge here isn’t just power—it’s protection.

I don’t just help you find a house—I help you find your place. We’ll walk the blocks, peek into open houses, and get a feel for the rhythm of a neighborhood. I’ll help you notice what matters—how the streets feel, where the best coffee lives, who’s out walking their dog—so you can picture yourself not just living there, but thriving.

When it’s time to make an offer, we do it right—from the first document to the final signature. I bring deep knowledge of local rules, experience with demanding sellers, and a commitment to doing things by the book. In a competitive market, the strongest offer isn’t always the highest—it’s the cleanest, sharpest, and most strategic.

The final stretch can be a blur—removing contingencies, inspections, final walkthroughs. But this is where I shine. I handle the logistics, track the details, and keep things moving so you don’t feel the stress. I want you to feel lucky at the finish line—not underwater. You made a smart move, stayed grounded, and now it’s time to celebrate the win.

My clients don’t just move into homes—they join my extended circle. After closing, I’m still here—dropping off a plant, recommending a great painter, or checking in just because. Some of my clients have been with me for 20 years. We’ve swapped books, celebrated birthdays, and watched kids grow up together. This isn’t just real estate—it’s community.
