"His deep knowledge of not just his industry but also of home maintenance and construction is a godsend. He could tell us about necessary repairs and costs in homes we toured that we never would have noticed."
Brynn M., past client
I know houses. Not in the vague way most agents mean when they say that. I can walk through a property with you and tell you what the bathroom gut is going to cost, whether the basement was finished right, how much life is left in a roof. I've gutted a full bathroom down to the studs and rebuilt it, new tub, new plumbing, new tile, the whole job. I've finished my own basement, upgraded flooring, painted interiors and exteriors, run new circuits and pulled my own electrical permits. There's very little on a house I haven't done myself. When you ask what something will cost, you get a real number instead of a shrug. You'll know exactly what you're getting into before you ever write an offer.
I'll also tell you the truth. If a house is overpriced, I'll say it. If the market isn't in your favor, I'll say it. If I don't know something, I'll tell you I don't know, and then I'll go find out. This isn't my money and it isn't my investment. My job is to make sure you end up in a house that's going to take care of you, whether you're there for two years or forty.
Buying and selling a home is largely emotional. My goal is to bring some logic back into the equation by being the most educated agent you'll ever work with. This is the biggest financial asset most people will ever have, and you deserve a full breakdown before any decision is made. If you're selling, I'll walk you through the comps, the pricing data, and every source I used to arrive at the recommended sale price. If you're buying, you'll get a personalized video covering every flaw and every benefit a home actually has, before we ever schedule a tour. Most of my business comes from past clients sending people my way. That's the result of doing the work right, not a replacement for it.
The questions I get asked most, and what I actually think, not what I'm supposed to say.
Less than you've been told. Conventional loans go as low as 3% down, FHA as low as 3.5%, and some loan programs allow 0% down for qualified buyers. 20% down isn't required, and putting less down isn't the wrong move. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is often far less than renting. The right answer depends on your situation, and it's one of the first things we'll figure out together.
Depends on your life, not the market. Trying to time the market rarely works. The "perfect" time to buy is usually when you have a stable income, a reason to put down roots, and enough saved for a reasonable down payment plus a buffer. Rate-wise, remember: marry the house, date the rate. You can refinance when rates drop; you can't buy at yesterday's price.
For buyers, we talk about representation and compensation up front. No surprises. For sellers, commission is negotiable and tied to the plan we build together. What I won't do is make you chase answers or find surprise fees at closing. Everything is on the table before we sign anything.
Yes, and earlier is better. Pre-approval tells us your actual budget (not your guess), makes your offers competitive, and saves you from falling in love with homes outside your range. If you don't have a lender, I can connect you with a few I trust who match different situations.
Depends on price, condition, season, and pricing strategy. Well-prepared listings in the right price range can go in days with multiple offers. Overpriced or poorly staged homes can sit for months. The strategy matters more than the market, and pricing it right the first time is the single biggest lever you have.
Me. Every call, every text, every showing, every negotiation. I keep my book intentionally lean so clients get my attention, not a handoff to an assistant. This is also why referrals are ~90% of my business. People know what they're getting, and they tell their friends.
