Congratulations to the sweetest repeat clients, Heather and Doug! Good things are worth the wait.
I helped Heather and Doug buy Jubilee in the fall of 2020. Relocating here from MN, they were welcomed by Smokepocalypse..what a time to be alive…
Jubilee was a perfect home for them while their 2 daughters finished out high school, but 3700 sq ft was more than they needed.
For the past 2 years, Heather and Doug had their eyes peeled. Every month or so I’d get a text that they had checked out this open house, or driven by that property. Over time, their search criteria and location evolved.
Heather and Doug exhibit what we realtors call Pride of Ownership – in other words, they keep their house meticulously clean and maintained. It was hard to find other homes that matched this level of care.
Until Sandy! She was listed in early July. The home was realtor-owned and the agents walked us through every single update they had done since purchasing it 20 years prior.
The pool didn’t hurt, either. We beat out another offer and closed quickly, meanwhile prepping Jubilee for market.
Jubilee was a late bloomer – but after 3 weeks on the market, we had 2 offers! We closed at list price, all within 2.5 months of their initial offer on Sandy.
The past few months have been a marathon for Heather and Doug. When I called them with the good news that it was all officially closed, Heather told me she was going to take a nap.
Wishing you all the cat naps in your beautiful new home. Cheers!

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.
