Real estate isn't just my business - it's been the backdrop of my life. I bought my first home as a single mom of two, right in the middle of the market crash, when everything felt uncertain and the odds seemed stacked against me. That house had special meaning: I bought it from my grandfather, who had purchased it decades earlier using his VA loan with just a $1 down payment. Owning that piece of family history taught me firsthand what it means to fight for a home when the timing isn't perfect and the path isn't easy.

​

Years later, I met my husband, and together we built our current home from the ground up - a new chapter, built side by side. Along the way, we've also experienced the unique challenges that come with being small business owners, including how much harder it can be to get preapproved for a mortgage when your income doesn't fit into a neat, traditional box.

​

These experiences are exactly why I do what I do. I understand what it's like to buy a home during hard times, to carry family history into a new chapter, and to face extra hurdles just to get approved. Whatever your situation looks like, I'm here to help you navigate it with real experience and real understanding - not just as your realtor, but as someone who's walked a similar path.
