Win your DMV move—Find your next home with me
Home shopping can get noisy fast. A listing looks perfect until the numbers don’t, or a “pending” tag shows up before you’ve even had a chance to think. My role is to cut through that and keep you grounded in what’s real.
We’ll start with a quick ten-minute call to get clear on your must-haves, deal-breakers, and budget range. From there, I’ll narrow to neighborhoods that fit how you live—commute, schools, walkability, and long-term value—so every next step feels obvious.
What I can do for you
Buying in the DMV comes with fast-moving listings and a lot of noise. I keep the process clear—so you know what matters, what doesn’t, and when to move. You’ll get steady guidance, honest numbers, and a strategy that fits your goals.
