Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest moves you’ll ever make—emotionally and financially. It’s my job to make that process feel less overwhelming, more strategic, and tailored to you. I take my role seriously, giving every client my full attention, energy, and hustle. Because of that, I’m intentional about who I work with. So before we jump into scheduling showings or listing your property, I want to be upfront about what working together looks like—and whether we’re a good fit.
📝 Why I’m Sharing This
Lately, I’ve been putting a lot of time, energy, and heart into helping people. However, I’ve realized that some of that time is being spent on clients who aren’t ready or serious about moving forward. I love what I do. I love educating people, guiding them, and helping them find their forever home. But this is also my career—how I support my family, my goals, and my life. So, I wanted to take a moment to clear the air and set some honest expectations about what it looks like to work with me.
🤝 Who I Work Best With
To make the most of our time together—and get you the best results—I work best with clients who are:
Serious about making a move—typically within the next 1–6 months.
Pre-approved or actively working with a lender (for buyers).
Ready to list soon and open to pricing and staging strategy (for sellers).
Responsive and honest in their communication.
Clear on their goals—or at least open to figuring them out with my help.
If that sounds like you, awesome—let’s talk. You’re exactly who I built my business around.
🚩 Who Might Not Be a Fit (Right Now)
This isn’t about being picky—it’s about being respectful of your time and mine. If you’re just browsing Zillow casually, want to “test the market” without really committing, or aren’t quite sure if buying or selling is the right move, that’s totally okay. You’re always welcome to reach out with questions.
But in terms of actively working together, I may not be the best fit just yet if:
You’re not sure about your budget or financing options.
You don’t have a clear timeline.
You’re hesitant to have open, honest conversations.
You’re looking for someone to “unlock doors” but not offer strategy or insight.
And again—no judgment at all. I’d rather be upfront than waste your time if the timing’s not right.
📅 Why I Do Things This Way
Real estate isn’t just a job to me—it’s a partnership. I want my clients to win. That means having real conversations, setting clear expectations, and focusing on results that move you forward. When we’re aligned on timing, goals, and commitment, that’s when the magic happens. That’s when you walk away with a new home, a successful sale, or the peace of mind you’ve been looking for.
🌟 The Importance of Communication
One of the key elements in any successful real estate transaction is communication. I believe in keeping the lines open. Whether you have questions, concerns, or just want to chat about the market, I’m here for you. I want you to feel comfortable reaching out at any time. After all, this is a big step, and you deserve to feel supported throughout the journey.
🏡 Understanding the Market
Navigating the Central Florida real estate market can be tricky. It’s essential to have a solid understanding of current trends, pricing, and neighborhood dynamics. I’m here to provide insights that can help you make informed decisions. Whether you’re buying or selling, knowing the market can give you a significant advantage.
📊 Preparing for Your Journey
Before we dive into the buying or selling process, it’s crucial to prepare. For buyers, that means getting pre-approved and understanding your budget. For sellers, it involves assessing your home’s value and considering necessary improvements. Preparation sets the stage for success, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first if I want to buy a home?
Start by getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This will give you a clear idea of your budget and show sellers you’re serious.
