Start your home-buying journey with a personalized consultation. I'll ask questions about your budget, preferred neighborhoods, size requirements, style of home, and any other factors important to you, such as proximity to schools, work, or amenities. I take the time to understand your specific needs, goals, timing, and budget. Together, we'll define the criteria for your next home, ensuring an efficient search process every step of the way.

Property Search and Selection
With your criteria in mind, I conduct a thorough market analysis using a range of powerful tools, including the MLS, the comprehensive RealScout platform, off-market properties, and exclusive in-house listings through Allen Tate. I identify potential properties, presenting you with a curated selection that aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and investment goals. Before viewing homes, I advise buyers to talk to a lender to ensure financing is in place.
03
Negotiation and Offer
I bring valuable expertise to the offer and negotiation process, ensuring clients have the information and guidance they need to get their offer accepted. Market conditions, property value, condition of home, and your budget all play roles in creating an attractive offer. As negotiations unfold, I advocate on your behalf, strategically responding to counteroffers and adjusting terms to secure the best possible deal.
04
Due Diligence and Inspections
Once your offer is accepted, I assist you through the due diligence process. I share my list of trusted vendors, coordinate inspections, and ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the property’s condition. My experience in construction and the contractors I've worked with through the years is invaluable during this process.
05
Financing and Closing Process
I collaborate with your lender and closing attorneys, keeping you informed at every step. My goal is to ensure a seamless transition from offer acceptance to final closing, minimizing stress and maximizing efficiency. I always accompany my buyers for a last check on the property to be sure everything is in order before the sale is finalized.
06

My goal is always to make your transition to your new home as smooth and enjoyable as possible, and I’m committed to being there every step of the way.
