Almost a year. That’s how long this journey took 🤍

There were moments of excitement… and moments where it felt like the right home just wasn’t out there. After months of searching, it’s easy to get discouraged—but we stayed patient, kept the vision, and got a little creative with our search.

By expanding just slightly outside our original parameters, we found the one ✨
✔️ Negotiated a lower purchase price
✔️ Secured repair credits
✔️ And landed a home that checks (almost) every box

So grateful for clients who trust the process—even when it takes time. The right home is always worth the wait 🏡

Thinking about starting your own home search? Let’s chat.

Top Benefits of New Construction for First-Time Home Buyers✨

1. Easier, low-stress ownership
Everything is brand new, which means fewer repairs, fewer surprises, and more confidence stepping into homeownership for the first time.

2. Building equity from day one
With a new home, your payments start going toward ownership immediately. As home values increase over time, you’re able to build equity faster—especially in growing communities where new construction is driving demand.

3. Lower utility and maintenance costs
Energy-efficient systems, appliances, and building materials help keep monthly bills lower, which is a big win for first-time buyers balancing a budget.

4. Builder warranties for peace of mind
Most new homes come with warranties covering major systems and structural components, reducing financial risk early on.

5. Move-in ready and modern
No renovations needed—just move in and enjoy a home designed for today’s lifestyle with updated layouts and finishes.

Ready to explore what new construction options look like for you?

Let’s talk about your budget, your goals, and what’s available in today’s market. Reach out anytime and I’ll help you find the right fit. 📲 (541)287-0295

🎓 Corvallis Student Housing Guide (FREE Download)

Sending a student to Oregon State University?
Before you sign a lease, make sure you know this…

Finding housing in Corvallis can be competitive, confusing, and expensive if you don’t have the right information.

That’s exactly why I created this free guide for parents 👇

Inside, you’ll learn:
✔ When to start your search (this alone can save you thousands)
✔ The difference between lease types—and which one protects you most
✔ Hidden costs most families don’t plan for
✔ How to avoid common housing mistakes and scams
✔ What to look for when touring properties

This is the same advice I give my clients navigating student housing in Corvallis—now all in one place.

Most students in Corvallis are paying anywhere from $800–$1,200/month (per person) for rent—and that’s often with roommates. Over the course of 4 years, that adds up fast… and it’s going toward someone else’s investment, not yours.

If you’ve been thinking about housing for Fall 2026, NOW is the time to start looking. Waiting too long means fewer options and higher prices.

Have you considered purchasing instead? It can be a smart way to build equity while your student is in school—and potentially create an income-producing property along the way.

If you’re curious what that could look like, I’d love to walk you through the numbers and your options. Let’s get ahead of it 🖤

I genuinely love working with buyers—whether it’s your first home or your forever home. Every situation is different, and helping you navigate that journey is something I know well and truly enjoy.

If you’ve been thinking about buying, let’s sit down and create a plan that makes sense for you. And if you’re a first-time home buyer, there are more opportunities than you might think—including options to help secure interest rates around 5%.

I’d love to share my resources, connections, and walk you through what’s possible. Let’s get you feeling confident and ready for your next move—message me to schedule your buyer consult 💜

Current situation: a to-do list that keeps growing faster than I can check things off 😅

Writing offers, prepping listings, and attempting to clear out my email… is that even possible in one day?

The market is busy right now—people are on the move, homes are hitting the market, and things are happening fast. It’s one of those seasons where everything feels a little nonstop (in the best way).

If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling, now is the time to start the conversation. I’d love to help you make your next move 💜

🏡 Thinking about selling? The prep work is where you make (or lose) money.

Most people think selling starts when the home hits the market…
It doesn’t.

It starts weeks (or months) before, with the right strategy.

I help my sellers:
✔️ Know exactly what to update (and what to skip)
✔️ Avoid wasting money on unnecessary projects
✔️ Position their home to stand out immediately
✔️ Create a plan that attracts strong, serious buyers

Because the truth is—
The homes that sell fastest and for the best price?
They’re the ones that are properly prepared from the start.

That’s why I put together a FREE Seller Guide focused on how to get your home market-ready the right way.

No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just a clear plan.

From stressful moments to successful closings 🏡✨

Helping these amazing clients both sell their home and find the next one was quite the journey. There were definitely some hurdles along the way, but through trust, clear communication, and a lot of teamwork—we made it to the closing table together 🙌

What makes this one even more special? They trusted me again as repeat clients, and somewhere along the way, that relationship turned into a genuine friendship ❤️

This is why I love what I do—it’s never just about the transaction.
