General

Q: What areas do you serve?
I proudly serve Charles County, Prince George’s County, and Northern Virginia (including Alexandria and McLean, VA) — specializing in helping, first-time, and transitioning buyers, as well as sellers ready to move to their next chapter.

Q: Do you work with first-time homebuyers?
Yes! I love helping first-time buyers feel confident in every step — from getting pre-approved to closing day. You’ll get guidance, education, and support designed to make your first purchase stress-free.

Q: What makes you different from other agents?
I combine data-driven strategy, creative marketing, and real connection. I believe real estate should feel personal, not transactional. My clients appreciate my honesty, communication, and the extra care I put into helping them feel confident at every step.

For Buyers

Q: How do I start the home-buying process?
The first step is to get pre-approved by a trusted lender. This shows sellers you’re serious and helps us find homes that fit your exact budget and goals. I can connect you with great local lenders.

Q: Why is pre-approval so important?
A pre-approval gives you a clear price range and strengthens your offer — especially in a competitive market. It also prevents wasted time looking at homes outside your comfort zone.

Q: How much do I need for a down payment?
Down payments vary depending on the loan program — from 0% (VA/USDA) to 3–5% for conventional and FHA loans. I’ll connect you with lenders who can explain your options and available grants.

Q: How long does it take to buy a home?
Once you’re pre-approved, the search process depends on the market and your needs. After your offer is accepted, most closings take 30–45 days.

Q: Can I buy a home if I’m relocating from another state?
Absolutely! I work with many relocation clients. We can do virtual consultations, FaceTime tours, and local orientation sessions to help you find your perfect DMV home from anywhere.

For Sellers

Q: How much is my home worth?
Home values depend on location, condition, and market trends. You can request a free home value estimate or schedule an in-depth consultation for a customized market analysis.

Q: How long does it take to sell a home?
Homes in the DMV typically go under contract within 2–4 weeks when priced and presented right. I’ll create a marketing plan tailored to your neighborhood and target audience.

Q: What should I do before listing my home?
Start with a walkthrough consultation. I’ll suggest simple updates that maximize value and guide you through professional photography, staging, and pricing strategy.

Q: Do I need to stage my home?
Staging helps buyers imagine themselves in the space. Professionally staged homes often sell faster and for more money — and I can connect you with trusted stagers at every price point.

Q: What are your marketing strategies for listings?
I combine professional photography, video tours, social media exposure, and targeted advertising to give your home maximum visibility online and offline. Your home won’t just be listed — it’ll be showcased.

Getting Started

Q: I’m not ready to buy or sell yet. Can we still talk?
Of course! Whether your move is six months or a year away, it’s never too early to plan. I’ll help you prepare so you can move strategically and stress-free when the time is right.

Q: How can I contact you?
You can call, text, or email anytime. I’m here to help!
