I started out teaching elementary school. That's exactly what makes me a different kind of agent.

I don’t just tell you what to do and leave you confused, or worse, anxious.

I teach you how it all works.

Let’s talk real support for first-time buyers.
✅ Down payment help
✅ Lower monthly payments
✅ Forgivable grants + city/county programs

These options aren’t secret, they’re just not widely widely known.

That’s why I created my free guide to the most helpful options in NC & SC.

You’ve probably heard it all:
❌ You need 20% down
❌ You have to be debt-free
❌ You should just keep renting

Let’s replace the myths with a real plan to get you to YOUR goal.

I'm here to help you sort through the overwhelm—step by step.

Most first-time buyers feel like they have to earn the right to even ask questions.

Let’s change that.

Buying a home shouldn’t feel impossible—and you don’t have to navigate it solo.

It's time!

✨You don’t have to feel 100% ready to start the process.

If any of these feel familiar:
✔ You’ve been casually budgeting
✔ You scroll listings like it’s your side hobby
✔ You dread your next rent renewal notice...

Then you’re already further along than you think.

Let’s bust a myth👇

You do NOT need a giant down payment or a luxury-level budget to use a rate buydown.

💡 Builders often offer 2-1 buydowns for free
💡We can negotiate credits with resale sellers to use for buydowns
💡 Even with 3–5% down, we’ve used this to cut payments by hundreds per month
June 12, 2025 at 5:45 PM
Here’s the deal ⬇️

A seller (or builder) offers credits to lower your interest rate for the first 1–3 years.

That means a lower payment right when you need it most—before you’ve rebuilt savings or furnished your home.

Still think you need 20% down to buy a home?

That was true once—but today, first-time buyers have way more options.

💡Most of my clients put down between 3%–5%, and some qualify for local assistance that can help with those upfront costs.

I volunteer at HOPE in Lancaster weekly because stable housing changes lives.

This belief fuels my work every day.

Whether it’s helping neighbors get assistance with rent, utilities, and groceries during an emergency or coaching them into homeownership—
this is bigger than a job. It’s my mission.

You need to know 👇

Home is where the heart is, AND it’s where financial stability begins.

This is about building a future you can count on.

✨ A place that’s yours
✨ An asset that grows over time
✨ A foundation when life gets hard

What's number 3?

❗Homeownership builds long-term stability.

Let's hope you never have a financial emergency, but life happens. It's helpful to have options, like falling back on your equity, selling, or refinancing.

If student loans, low savings, or credit fears have you thinking you can’t buy a home…

💥 It’s time to talk about what’s actually possible.

There are programs designed to help first-time buyers like you—ones most people don’t even know about.

Here it is:

🚫 You do not need 20% down to buy your first home.

In fact, most of my first-time buyers use programs that require 3%–5% down. Some even qualify for 0% down options!

The key? Finding what works for you.
