Congrats to Kylie + Stefan on purchasing their first home in South Tabor!
I met K+S through past clients of mine. They considered entering the market in 2021, but quickly realized that kind of bonkers competition was not their cup of tea.
I always say the right time to buy/sell is PERSONAL and depends on your priorities/risk tolerance/life events. For K+S, a market with higher rates AND higher chances of negotiating repairs was much more appealing.
Kylie + Stefan saw a handful of homes before touring 73rd, a sweet bungalow in S Tabor. She was the perfect blend of move-in ready + potential for personalized improvements!
We wrote our offer at full price, asking for $10K credit, with zero competition after just 5 days on market. A beautiful thing happened – the sellers simply accepted.
We were able to negotiate nearly $6K additional credit after inspections and close in less than a month. 7 weeks to the day from when we first met. I love this market for buyers.
Kylie + Stefan are already painting and doing repairs like they’re seasoned homeowners! A big CHEERS to y’all!

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.
