Holy guacamole! Tedd and Autumn bought a house!
Our conversations about home-ownership began several years ago. Buying a home was a goal for both of them – separately, and then jointly. Tedd and Autumn budgeted, saved, and hustled to get to this point.
Once it was go time, they brought it all to the table – long-term planning, patience, humor, excitement, trust, execution, imagination, vision, and can-do attitudes. They wisely strategized and set their sights on purchasing a fixer and putting that sweat equity to work.
We identified homes that had been on the market for a while and visited several before they felt the good vibes flowing at The Hill House. Tedd and Autumn trusted their gut and held off on putting any offers in until they found a place where their budget and vision met. This led to their first offer on The Hill House being accepted – and later, a brand new roof, electrical panel, and all closing costs being covered by the Seller!
We closed on Friday afternoon, and the kitchen demo began this morning. I feel like a mom sending her babies off to college. Have fun and be safe! So proud of you! Mom can’t wait to see the before&after magic!
Cheers to these fine folk, and stay tuned for the good stuff: transformation photos!

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.
