Interest rates may be challenging right now, but that doesn’t mean buyers aren’t out there making moves.

My clients have been searching for several months, waiting for the right house and the right opportunity. When this one came along, we moved quickly and got it locked down before any other competition could get to it.

Couldn’t be happier for them. Now it’s time to get through inspections, keep everything moving toward settlement, and hopefully turn this house into their new home.

The market may be different, but there are still deals to be found. Sometimes you just have to be patient, stay ready, and move when the right one shows up.

Thinking about buying or selling? Give me a call. I’m always happy to talk through the market and your options.

Higher interest rates don’t necessarily mean there aren’t opportunities for buyers.
As rates climb, fewer buyers are competing for homes. Properties are sitting on the market longer, sellers are making price reductions, and we’re seeing more room for negotiation.
For buyers who are still in the market, that can create opportunities to negotiate a better purchase price, ask for help with closing costs, or have the seller contribute toward an interest rate buydown to help lower the monthly payment.
If you spent the last few years getting beat out by multiple offers or struggling to compete, this may be a very different market than the one you remember.
Want to see what your options look like right now? DM me, text, call, or email. I’m always happy to talk through the numbers and help you decide if now makes sense for you.

A great day getting to know another one of the many recreational opportunities we have right here in St. Mary’s County!

Thank you to Visit St. Mary's MD for the opportunity to be part of the St. Mary’s County Tourism Ambassador Program and for today’s tour of Greenwell State Park.

I really enjoyed learning more about the park and hearing directly from the Greenwell Foundation about the work they are doing in our community.

Greenwell State Park sits along the Patuxent River in Hollywood and offers nearly 600 acres to explore, with miles of trails, waterfront access, beaches, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and picnic areas.

The Greenwell Foundation also offers an impressive variety of programs within the park, including:
• Horseback riding lessons and trail rides
• Adaptive equestrian programs and Horse Connection
• Guided kayaking and paddles
• Guided hikes and nature programs
• Field trips and environmental education
• Horse, fishing, nature, horsemanship, and river summer camps
• Recreational wellness programs for veterans and first responders, many offered at no cost to participants

It was an amazing opportunity to learn more about this partnership and everything available right here in St. Mary’s County. If the weather holds, I’m looking forward to launching my own kayak this weekend and exploring some of the Patuxent!

I’m always happy for my clients when they purchase a new home, but this one was especially rewarding.

Buying a home in today’s market is not always easy. We lost out on two previous properties in competitive situations, but my clients stayed patient and trusted the process. That patience paid off. We were able to get 46112 Slye Way under contract, put together a deal that worked well for both sides, and even create some additional equity for my clients in the process.

I’m especially happy to welcome this freshly retired Navy veteran and his family to their new home here in Southern Maryland. After a career of service, he and his wife are closing one chapter and starting another with their four children.

As an Air Force veteran myself, I truly enjoy helping fellow service members and their families navigate buying and selling a home. It means a lot to have the opportunity to serve those who have spent so many years serving all of us.

Congratulations to my clients on their new home and this next chapter!

If you or someone you know is looking to buy, sell, rent, or lease a property, I’d be happy to help.

Another successful milestone!

My clients' home is officially under contract just days before their big move out of state.

Three years ago, I had the privilege of helping them purchase this home, and now I'm honored they trusted me again to help them sell it.

Getting under contract on a timeline that supports their upcoming move was an important goal, and I'm grateful we were able to make that happen. We still have work to do before we reach the closing table, but this is a big step in the right direction.

If you're thinking about buying or selling, I'd be happy to help.
