Buying or selling a home is a big moment — and it can feel stressful, confusing, and even a little overwhelming. That’s why I’m here. I believe this process should be centered around you: your goals, your comfort, and the life you want to build next. From the first conversation to the closing table, I’ll guide you with honesty, calm direction, and a clear plan so you always know what comes next. My job is to make your experience simple, organized, and even enjoyable — so you can move forward with confidence and feel truly supported every step of the way.

For Sellers

  • A decision sheet with options to sell or stay, surrounded by house photos, a potted plant, a key, a cup of coffee, and maps.

    Deciding to Sell

    Deciding to sell your home is a big, emotional step—and I’m here to make sure you feel supported, informed, and confident from the very beginning. Before a sign ever goes in the yard, I walk you through the current market conditions, recent comparable sales, and how your home fits into today’s trends. Together, we talk about your goals, timing, and what a successful sale looks like for you. With Epique’s research tools and my neighborhood expertise, you’ll understand how to price strategically and position your home for the best outcome. My goal is simple: to help you make a decision that feels right, not rushed.

    Preparation

    Preparing your home to shine is one of the most important steps in the selling process—and it’s where my team and I truly roll up our sleeves. I guide you through repairs, updates, organization, and staging so your home feels open, neutral, and inviting the moment buyers walk in. From decluttering and curb appeal to professional cleaning and thoughtful styling, we handle the details that make a real difference. Staged homes sell for more, and with Epique’s hands-on approach, your home will present like a model. I’m with you every step of the way to make sure your space tells the warm, welcoming story buyers can see themselves in.

    Marketing

    When your home is ready, I launch a marketing strategy designed to give it maximum exposure and a premium look. With Epique’s in-house creative team, your listing gets high-end photography, drone images, custom graphics, beautiful brochures, neighborhood guides, and a polished online presence. Your home is placed on over 100 websites—including MLS, Zillow Showcase, Realtor.com, and Redfin—and supported by targeted social media ads, email campaigns, and even dedicated property websites. With this strategy, Epique listings get 3.5x more visibility than traditional listings. My goal is to make your home unforgettable and place it directly in front of the buyers who are ready to fall in love with it.

    Closing the Sale

    Once offers start coming in, I help you evaluate every detail—from price and contingencies to timelines, inclusions, and your bottom line. I negotiate on your behalf with calm confidence, keeping your goals front and center. After accepting an offer, I walk you through inspections, appraisal steps, repairs, the final walkthrough, and all the paperwork so nothing feels overwhelming. Behind the scenes, Epique’s support team helps coordinate details and keep the process moving smoothly. When closing day arrives, you simply sign the documents, hand over the keys, and celebrate. I’m here to make sure the finish is just as smooth and satisfying as the first step.

For Buyers

  • Flat lay of a notepad, pen, house-shaped cutout, smartphone, keys, and a cup of coffee with the text: 'Pre-Purchase Preparation'.

    Buying a home involves far more than simply browsing online listings—strong preparation lays the foundation for a smooth and confident experience. I guide you through the crucial early steps, from understanding market conditions to getting financially ready and connecting with trusted lenders. I help you avoid common pitfalls, stay organized, and understand what’s needed long before you step into a showing. With me, you begin your home search empowered with clarity, pre-approval strength, and a plan tailored to your goals—not guesswork.

    When it’s time to start searching for the right home, I bring strategy, experience, and steady guidance to a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. I help you define your must-haves, explore neighborhoods, compare properties, and evaluate each home with your long-term needs in mind. Beyond simply unlocking doors, I point out strengths and red flags, coordinate showings, research listings, and keep you focused on what truly fits your lifestyle. With me by your side, house hunting becomes informed, efficient, and enjoyable.

    Once you’ve found the home you love, I manage the many moving parts that come next—writing offers, negotiating terms, scheduling inspections, overseeing the appraisal process, and guiding you through financing and final closing. This phase can be complex, but I make sure you never feel lost or rushed. I communicate clearly, help you understand each step, and advocate for your best interests all the way to the closing table. With me, you have a dedicated partner who protects your investment and helps you move confidently into your new home.
