As a seasoned real estate agent, I'm good at gauging what a client needs and wants, then rolling with that. Some clients are all business and want to jump right in, while others need to see all the possible options over weeks or even months, and I am perfectly fine with that. In fact, I love looking at homes and being a guide to clients who need to take their time. I like to say that finding a home is a lot like dating.

As a seasoned real estate agent, I'm good at gauging what a client needs and wants, then rolling with that. Some clients are all business and want to jump right in, while others need to see all the possible options over weeks or even months, and I am perfectly fine with that. In fact, I love looking at homes and being a guide to clients who need to take their time. I like to say that finding a home is a lot like dating. Sometimes, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the right one! Regardless of what path works for you, I'll always focus on educating you and building a trusting relationship. 

My commitment to you is rooted in patience, attentive listening, and effective problem-solving. No matter the challenges that arise, I'm dedicated to guiding you through the process with ease and expertise. My background as a special education teacher infuses my work with a passion for education and curiosity, ensuring you feel informed and empowered throughout the real estate journey. My personal guiding core values include authenticity, integrity, curiosity, humor and patience.

One of the key benefits I offer is giving your time back to you. I invest my time and skill in understanding your requirements and handling all necessary tasks, whether you're selling or buying. For sellers, I and my team at PorchLight ensure a smooth process, from enhancing your home's appeal to managing showings and offers efficiently. For buyers, I'm flexible, willing to either accompany you to view properties or pre-screen options based on your preferences, saving you valuable time. To ensure we're on the same page, I employ Market Education Tours where we explore properties together so I can better understand your preferences, and streamline the search process. Once we're under contract, I'm with you every step of the way, coordinating inspections, negotiating for your interests, scheduling and attending appointments and bids, completing paperwork, and monitoring and meeting deadlines to make your process as stress-free as possible.

Once it's all closed and done, I don't disappear. Most of my clients end up as friends, and they often reach out to me long after closing for various reasons-from help finding contractors to ideas on where to take their out-of-town guests. I love that they see me as a great local resource and know I am always available to help. I'll reach out to you, too. You'll receive quarterly neighborhood stats and regular home valuations so you can keep an eye on your investment. 
You'll also get invites to fun activities. I put on a number of events throughout the year (including activities like axe throwing, a wrapping party during the holidays, and charity drives and events just to name a few) that my clients and friends look forward to each year. We'll keep in touch so that if and when you ever have a real estate related need or know someone who does, you'll know exactly who to call whether it's an emergency or something requiring a longer term plan. I'm here for you. 

Day to day, I live in vibrant and lively Cap Hill where I've been since 2005. I'm a wife, mom, and Great Dane dog mom. I love living in the heart of the city. The convenience of having shops and restaurants nearby, being able to walk and play in our local parks, and taking in all the architecture makes life interesting. In my spare time, I am an avid knitter (I'm #theknittingrealtor) and I sometimes teach classes at a local yarn shop. I grew up as a Navy Brat and have always loved exploring new places and cultures. My family and I love to travel and are currently focused on National Parks trips. I also love escaping the city in the warmer months to visit our 35-acre plot of off-grid land in Southern Colorado where we've built a little glamping paradise!

Before real estate, I was a special education teacher for over a decade. That experience is something my past clients have found to be of great value; I have loads of patience and I love to educate my clients about real estate and the process along the way. Whether you identify as "spicy" or not, I can adjust my tactics to fit your needs since I know everyone learns, communicates, and processes information differently. If you have any specific requests in these areas, let me know. If not, I'm good at picking up on people's styles so that I can meet them where they're at. I also have a deep curiosity and love of learning. I'm constantly trying to improve myself as an agent and as a human through classes, podcasts, and books. My aim is to be always learning, always growing, always improving. My favorite non-real estate podcasts include This Podcast Will Kill You, Tooth and Claw, and Ologies; even when I'm relaxing, I'm usually absorbing information. I'm always down to learn your favorite fun, random facts and I'm a sucker for dad jokes.
If you're looking for a thoughtful, friendly agent who's easygoing, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented, I'd love to sit and chat with you about your real estate needs. Get in touch!
