Congratulations Austyn + Eddy on purchasing their first home together!
In 2020, I helped Austyn purchase his first home. Since then, he met Eddy, who eventually moved in. They zhuzhed the heck out of that home, but also dreamed of purchasing a home together.
Their goals were twofold: more space inside and out AND moving closer into the city, into a more walkable neighborhood.
It took a few tries. The first house we offered on was overpriced, so we walked. The second home was CUTE, but with 5 buyers competing, we came up just a tad short.
The third home was more of a fixer. During inspections, it became clear that the house needed more than a facelift, so Austyn and Eddy listened to their gut and let it go.
Despite setbacks, A+E remained steadfast. They knew what they would and wouldn’t compromise on. So when Cora was listed, they pounced. Remodeled, turn-key, fabulous location, updated systems…all the green flags. We were in contract in under 24 hours!
As it usually goes, they ended up in the right home. Boxes checked, no compromises. The seller paid some closing costs AND replaced the knob and tube wiring in the attic. And then we closed a week early!
Due to the early closing, I was out of town when they got their keys. We recreated Key Day with a photoshoot a week later. The house looked like they had been there for years. Color me impressed.
Cheers to Austyn and Eddy (and to Tucker, Oscar, and Selena) for having your cake and eating it too! Welcome to the neighborhood!

As your trusted guide through the buying or selling process, you can expect me to customize my services to your specific goals and preferences, much like I did for my students during my ten years as an educator.
My clients’ goals vary. A couple retiring to the Big City after 30 years on 22 acres. A woman purchasing her first home independently. A couple upsizing to support a growing family. Two friends pooling their resources to make their first investment possible. A couple navigating a divorce and the sale of their home. A refugee family with limited English setting down roots in this country. Deaf investors looking to maximize profit on their flip. A couple selling the home of their daughter who has lost her battle to cancer. A family relocating from across the country and buying sight-unseen.
These situations all require unique, dynamic, and holistic approaches. Everyone has different needs, and it is my top priority to meet my clients where they are. For me, real estate is not transactional. It is deeply personal and inevitably life-changing.
While each client requires a tailored strategy, my work ethic is unwavering. With me you can always expect organization, tenacity, responsiveness, dedication, and hustle. A gatherer of resources, a communicator of all options and possible outcomes. As your advocate, I will be brutally honest so you know what to expect. A skilled negotiator, I’ll consider every angle with your dreams and goals in mind.
My clients often end up feeling like family. I am honored they trust me enough to return to me as their needs change and refer me to their friends, family, and communities.
What are your real estate goals and dreams? Call or text me so we can meet to discuss your vision.
