Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading, or investing, buying real estate is a complex process that deserves expert guidance. I’ll help you identify properties that match your goals for lifestyle, features, and long-term value—whether in Charleston, the Kanawha Valley, or the mountains of Elkins and Canaan Valley. Once you’ve found the right home or investment, I’ll manage every detail of the process, from competitive offers and strategic negotiations to inspections, appraisals, and closing—ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

Selling Tips

How I Help You Sell with Confidence

By working with me, you’ll benefit from:

✅A higher chance of getting top dollar for your home
✅ Reduced time on market
✅ A full understanding of the selling process and paperwork
✅ Broader exposure to qualified buyers and agents
✅ Market updates to inform your decisions
✅ A professional negotiator and partner in your corner
✅ The confidence that every detail is being managed by a licensed expert

Selling a home is more than finding a buyer—it’s about strategy, presentation, and precision. I begin with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to establish the right value, then coordinate professional prep and marketing designed to attract serious buyers. Throughout the process, I keep you fully informed and positioned to succeed. Once your home is under contract, I handle the negotiations, paperwork, deadlines, and closing details, working closely with the escrow team to ensure a smooth, successful transaction.

I'll guide you through:

• A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to price your home competitively
• Professional guidance to prepare your home for market
• Listing, staging, and custom marketing to maximize exposure
• Expert negotiation and transaction support from offer to closing
