Thank you for visiting!

If you’ve landed here and you’re looking for a REALTOR® to buy or sell in West Michigan, I’d love to talk with you. I’ve been working in real estate with Five Star Real Estate for 3 years, and I absolutely love helping people with their housing needs.

As a listing agent, I take great pride in getting to know you and understanding your goals. I’ll assess your property and make recommendations for edits that might fit within your timeline and budget to help attract buyers. Creating a pricing & marketing strategy to net you the greatest return on your investment is my highest priority. I’ll share current, local market information to establish a listing plan and timeline. Home staging is among the services I offer my clients to help create a clear, cohesive space for optimal professional marketing images, because how we live in a home is different than how we show a home to potential buyers. I’ll continue to communicate all important details through listing, showings, evaluating offers, negotiations, title work, and all important details through closing.

When working as a buyer agent, I can help connect you with excellent local lenders to get you pre-approved for your mortgage. I’ll gather information about your lifestyle and housing desires in order to dial in on the type of home, location, budget, and amenities important to you. From your criteria, I’ll create an MLS search for properties that align with your needs and wishes so that as a home hits the market, you’ll be among the first to view it online. We’ll walk through homes you’re interested in and I’ll dig up all the information needed to help you make an informed decision whether to write an offer or not. Many factors go into writing strong offers, and we’ll discuss all the variables to make your best offer with the terms that you’re comfortable with, including seller concessions to help meet your commission obligations to me. Timing is critical when viewing homes and submitting offers, especially on properties that don’t have an offer deadline. I’m committed to working diligently to support my clients, which means being available and accessible when you need me, and I’m proud to have built a strong support system of fellow Five Star realtors that know and trust each other to step in to assist when needed. We’re currently in a very competitive buying market, but don’t let that keep you from reaching out. My dedicated home buyers have all become happy home owners! My favorite words to hear are “your offer won!”, because the joy of homeownership is a beautiful thing, and I want to help more people achieve that goal.

There’s so much more that goes into buying and selling a home, but an important factor is your confidence and comfort level with your agent. I’m proud to present my client testimonials below. Most of my clients come through referrals, and I’m grateful for my past clients and their endorsement of the service I’ve provided. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you to learn how I can best serve your real estate needs.
