Buyer's agents offer many advantages. Buyers agents have a fiduciary duty to put your interests first. They can provide guidance through buying process, help you assess the value of the home, craft your offer and negotiate on your behalf, guide you through the disclosures and point out red flags. During escrow, buyers agents can also recommend vendors to assist with things like home inspections. For buyers wanting help finding the right home, buyers' agents can screen and select properties to help your search and identify properties you may not have considered, or provide access to homes not on the open market. They can also provide private showings of properties that interest you.

Once you decide to hire me as an agent, you will sign a buyer representation agreement that specifies my compensation, which is negotiable and based on the services you require. I offer 3 tiers of service: self service, full service - which includes private tours and search assistance, and VIP service - which includes access to off-market properties. Most clients select full service. I only get paid if the transaction closes and my compensation comes out of your closing costs unless you negotiate for the seller to compensate me out of their closing costs which is common, but not guaranteed.

No, that is not true but it is a common misconception because historically the seller published and offered commission to buyer's agents. That practice is now prohibited. It is common practice now for many buyers to request a concession from the seller in the contract to compensate their agent, but that is negotiable between the buyer and seller and if an agreement cannot be reached, the buyer is responsible for compensating their agent.

Contact me first! Every buyer's circumstance is different and I can help you map out a plan that works for you. Typically, the first step is to begin to map out how to pay for the home which often involves getting pre-approved for a loan, but that can vary if you have a home to sell as well.

The listing agent has a fiduciary duty to the seller and a financial incentive to get the highest price. While some listing agents respect their duty to both parties and have high integrity, in practice, not all do. Working with me gives you independent representation and guarantees that your interests are fully protected. One reason many work with the listing agent is to get a discount on commission. That is less common in practice now that all buyers must have a buyer representation agreement, but if you work with me and select self-service, I offer the same commission discount you would typically get by working with the listing agent - but you are fully and independently represented by me.

Absolutely! I offer a risk-free cancellation guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, you can cancel with no questions asked and owe me no commission.

I combine expert level prep, strategy, negotiation with clear communication that meets you where you are with zero pressure. My goal is to help educate you and make sure you feel supported throughout the whole journey. Unlike many other agents who have a one-size fits all approach, I offer clear service tiers at different price points ensuring that you pay only for the service you receive. I am also a certified Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®).
