ABOUT ME

A home is more than just a place—it’s part of your story. Selling it can feel both exciting and emotional, and that’s why I’m here: to guide you through the process with care, confidence, and a personal touch. I believe in listening closely to what matters most to you, creating a plan that reflects your goals, and making the selling experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

I don’t just put a sign in the yard—I walk alongside you every step of the way. By working hand-in-hand with my mortgage partner, we bring a team approach to your transaction, ensuring buyers are financially ready and your sale moves forward without unnecessary delays. From preparing your home for the market to handing over the keys at closing, my goal is to make sure you feel supported, informed, and proud of the results.
