Selling your home

What's your home worth? Let's find out over coffee.

Here's what happens when you list with me.

  1. Coffee and a walkthrough

    We walk the house together. You tell me your timeline and what matters to you.

  2. A price backed by real comps

    A full market analysis of what's sold and what's competing near you, so the number makes sense to you and to buyers.

  3. Media that stops the scroll

    Professional photos, video and drone of your home, shot for the MLS and for social.

  4. Marketing where buyers look

    The MLS, Facebook Marketplace and local groups, Instagram and my Keys to Clear Lake YouTube channel.

    Showing feedback, offer strategy and negotiation, with calls and texts answered quickly the whole way.

Buying a home

Find the right place before everyone else does.

Whether it's a cabin on the water, a starter home in town or a few acres outside it, here's how I help you get there first.
First

New listings, straight from the MLS

I set up a custom search for exactly what you want, and new matches land in your inbox as soon as they're listed.

Then

Showings set up fast

In town, on the water or out on acreage, I'll walk it with you and point out what matters before you fall in love.

Finally

An offer with a strategy

Straight answers on value before you write, then clear guidance through inspection, appraisal and closing.

Free guides

Written for Clear Lake, not real estate in general.

Pick the one that fits where you are. It lands in your inbox in a minute.
For buyers

The 6-Step Clear Lake Home Buying Checklist

What to settle about budget, financing and timing before the tours start, so the first home you walk through is one you could actually buy.

For sellers

The Clear Lake Seller's Guide

Pricing, what's worth fixing and what isn't, how your home gets marketed, and what happens once offers come in, in the order you'll actually meet them.

Asking for a guide also signs you up for occasional Clear Lake market updates. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
