I am so freaking PROUD of these first-time homebuyers!!!
Mollie and Troy found me on the interwebs and we began working together last spring. We saw a slew of homes, but Mollie & Troy were *underwhelmed* by the selection within their budget.
They decided to hit the pause button for a year and committed to saving up more money before jumping back in.
Like clockwork, Mollie and Troy hit the ground running in 2024. We met on January 9th. In just a few days, we saw 7 properties and zoomed in on a funky ranch in Russell w/ fun angles and windows for days, PLUS so many updated systems.
Mollie and Troy made some tweaks to their initial offer to beat their competition, and had their offer accepted January 12th. Inspections went extremely well (a realtor’s dream) and we STILL negotiated $4100 in credit for some maintenance items.
Thanks to the incredible Beth Imhoff at Academy Mortgage (@mortgages.by.beth), we closed early on January 31. It seemed quick, but it was many months in the making. They hit pause first to fast forward later!
Mollie and Troy had a vision, committed to their goals, and made it happen. Cheers to you and to the power of the pause.

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.
