1. Make sure your credit is in order - request a free copy of your credit report and make sure there is nothing on there that shouldn't be. Most erroneous items can be disputed online. 2. Talk to a lender or a Mortgage Broker and get pre-approved. The market is VERY competitive right now and a lender letter is a must. A local lender is preferred over an online lender by most sellers.

1. Make small repairs on deferred maintenance items such as a leaky faucet. Paint only if the existing paint is damaged and use neutral colors. 2. Don't make major updates. 3. Hire a cleaner to deep clean. This really does make a difference in what a buyer is willing to pay.

I have worked with everyone! I have sold rural homes, condos and single family. I have helped buyers with getting their credit scores up and buy with no money down (not just VA loans!)

In 2003 I was the Bookkeeper at a local real estate office and started helping with the listing paperwork and decided I really liked it, so I went to another Brokerage and became a full time assistant and it grew from there!

I am Certified with VA Buyers and Sellers and have extensive experience with distressed properties, both Buying and Selling. I am military certified to assist military members and will work tirelessly for you whether buying or selling.
