    I serve the entire St. Louis metro area, including St. Louis County and St. Charles County. My area expertise extends throughout the city and surrounding suburbs.
  • How do you communicate/keep clients updated throughout the process?
    Communication is one of my top priorities. I'll keep you updated through phone calls, emails, text messages - whatever method works best for you. You'll never be left wondering about the status.
  • How long have you been a real estate agent in the St. Louis area?
    I've been a proud resident of the St. Louis area my whole life. After getting my real estate license in 2018, I've been guiding local buyers and sellers for over 5 years now.
  • What makes you different from other real estate agents?
    My educational background allows me to be a true teacher in addition to advisor. I ensure my clients fully understand each step so they feel empowered throughout the process. I also take an extremely personalized approach, customizing my services to each client's unique needs and goals.
  • What costs are involved in buying a home besides the purchase price?
    Main costs are the down payment, closing costs like lender fees and title insurance, moving expenses, potential renovation costs, and prepaid expenses like property taxes and homeowners insurance.
  • How can I get pre-approved for a mortgage?
    I'd be happy to provide trusted lender recommendations to get you pre-approved. This allows us to view homes within your budget and shows sellers you're a qualified, motivated buyer.
  • How many homes should I view before making an offer?
    There's no perfect number, but typically buyers should plan to view 5-10 homes in their search to get a good feel for the market, prices, neighborhoods etc. I'll ensure we look at all viable options before making an offer.
  • What questions should I ask when viewing homes?
    Definitely ask about the condition of major systems like the roof, HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Also ask about HOA fees, average utility costs, reasons the seller is moving, and any known issues. I'll guide you through important considerations.
  • How do you determine the listing price for my home?
    I'll do an in-depth comparative market analysis looking at recently sold homes with similar features and conditions in your specific area. This data, coupled with local market trends, will allow us to price your home strategically.
  • What should I do to prepare my home for listing photos/showings?
    I'll provide a thorough list, but key things are decluttering, depersonalizing, deep cleaning, fixing any glaring issues, enhancing curb appeal, and ensuring proper lighting. We want buyers to envision themselves living there.
  • How will you market my listing to potential buyers?
    In addition to listing on the MLS, I'll promote through professional photography, virtual tours, targeted social media marketing, my network of buyer agents, open houses, and more. I'm a believer in the power of professional videography as well. My goal is maximum visibility for your listing.
  • What if we receive a lowball offer? How will you advise me?
    I'll go over all the details impartially - offering price, terms, qualifications of the buyer, market conditions etc. My role is to provide expertise so you can make the most informed decision for your situation.
  • What home renovations/updates provide the best return on investment?
    The best renovations are generally kitchen and bathroom remodels, finished basements, adding energy efficient windows, upgrading mechanicals like HVAC, and enhancing curb appeal. I can provide more specific project recommendations.
  • I don't have the money to do an entire home reno, is a Home Updates Consultation still worth it?
    Yes! We will focus on updates that are within your reach. Swapping paint colors, changing light fixtures, adding hardware, etc. are all relatively low cost solutions that hugely impact the look and feel of your home!
