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.

✨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

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.
