Before You Buy

Preparation is key when purchasing a property. From down payments and mortgage prequalification to understanding the type of home that will meet your needs and satisfy your wants, I can make sure your financial ducks are in a row and your expectations are grounded in reality when preparing to buy.

The Search

Selecting your perfect home will require research, expert guidance and knowledge of the local market, and you'll need to consider what it is you're looking for. I can help you find the place that fits your taste, your budget, and your lifestyle. I'm a home hunter's best friend.

CB Exclusives

Enables me to explore listings within our brokerage for a specific period of time, before they even hit the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or are marketed to anyone outside of my brokerage’s agents and our clients.

Sneak Peeks

Allows me to view Sneak Peek listings from participating Coldwell Banker agents across the country for one business day before the listings are submitted to the MLS and publicly marketed, allowing advance notice from a powerful network of agents who are actively posting new listings.
