Get pre-approved for a mortgage first, understand your budget, don't skip the home inspection, and make sure to research the neighborhood thoroughly. Stay flexible, but be ready to act quickly in a competitive market. Trust your instincts, and don’t rush into a decision—buying a home is a big commitment!

Make sure your home is priced right—overpricing can scare away buyers and cause your house to sit on the market. Stage your home to highlight its best features, and ensure it’s clean and well-maintained. Be flexible with showings. Pricing and presentation are key to selling successfully!

I’ve worked with a variety of clients, including first-time homebuyers, sellers, investors, move-up buyers, relocating clients, empty-nesters, renters, and landlords. Each group has unique needs, but the goal is always the same: to ensure a smooth and successful real estate experience.

One transaction I’m particularly fond of was helping a first-time homebuyer find their perfect home. They were initially overwhelmed by the process, but after guiding them through financing options, viewing homes, and negotiating a fair offer, we found a property they loved. The closing process was smooth, and they were so excited to move in. It was rewarding to see how much confidence they gained throughout, and knowing I played a role in making their dream home a reality felt incredibly fulfilling.

I transitioned into real estate from a finance background, where I developed strong skills in budgeting and negotiations. I wanted to combine my financial expertise with helping people make big decisions, so I earned my license and dove into real estate. It’s been a rewarding journey, using my finance skills to guide clients through the buying and selling process.

I have several certifications and awards that benefit my clients. I was recognized as a NJ Circle of Excellence Winner in 2023, which reflects my dedication to providing exceptional service. I’m also an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), a Military Relocation Specialist (MRS), and a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA). These qualifications help me offer expert advice in buying, selling, and pricing homes.
