📍 Serving Helena, Montana & beyond. I’m a Montana transplant, originally from Washington state but have been living under the big sky since 2013. Having traveled all around Montana, nothing quite beats Helena, so my husband and I set up roots here! We enjoy doing pretty much anything outdoors, hunting, hiking, fishing, camping, and boating. When we are not hiking hills or filling the freezer, you can find me either chasing our kiddos or on a mic podcasting. I’m an ambitious go-getter with a strong work ethic and a-can-do attitude. I take pride in getting to know you, your wants and desires! I strive to be someone in which you, your family and friends can put their trust in. Finding the home of your dreams or selling your current home for the next upgrade is a HUGE step! I take my job seriously, but also know you have to enjoy the process and have some fun. Give me a call, let’s tackle this adventure together!

Current mood: 🍂 Fall on my mind, buyers to help, hunting season ahead, a vacation, NXT in New Orleans, and some BIG goals quietly taking shape behind the scenes. 💚

Busy. Grateful. Growing. And definitely never bored. 😂

First impressions start before a buyer ever makes it through the front door.

When buyers tour a home, they’re often taking in the little things right away:

🏡 Curb appeal
🧹 Cleanliness and clutter
👃 Smells
☀️ Light and the overall feel of the space
🔧 Obvious maintenance items

The National Association of REALTORS® recommends sellers focus on presentation, condition, and helping buyers see the home at its best.

The good news? You do **not** need a perfect house.

You do need a home that feels clean, cared for, and ready for someone else to picture themselves there.

Sometimes the small things make the biggest first impression.

Pre-approval is more than just figuring out what price range to look in.

It uses **verified financial information** to help determine how much you may be able to borrow, and the National Association of REALTORS® notes that it can help buyers compete more effectively in a busy market. It’s also different from pre-qualification, which is generally based on self-reported information.

A good pre-approval can help you:

💰 Understand your buying power
🏡 Focus on homes that fit your budget
📋 Identify potential financing issues early
✍️ Be better prepared when it’s time to write an offer

One important reminder: **pre-approval does not lock in your mortgage rate.** Rates can still change with the market.

The goal is simple: know where you stand before you fall in love with the house. 😉

Today we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage shown on September 11, 2001.

Gone, but never forgotten. 🇺🇸

Ever find two homes you really like and suddenly have no idea which one you like more? 😂

When that happens, go back to the things that matter most:

🏡 Location
💰 Price and overall value
📐 Size and layout
🔨 Condition and upcoming maintenance
🌲 Outdoor space
🚗 Daily convenience
❤️ And how well the home actually fits your life

Buyers should focus on their priorities and remember that no home is going to be absolutely perfect.

Sometimes the better choice isn’t the house with the prettiest kitchen.

It’s the one that works better for **your everyday life.**

Parents… how are we doing? 😂

Backpacks, lunches, forms, alarms, sports bags, water bottles, school calendars, and somehow remembering what day it is.

The first week back always feels like everyone is trying to get back into a routine at the exact same time.

So consider this your official check-in:

**Did we remember everything? Probably not.
Did everyone make it through the week? That counts.** 😅

What’s the one thing your family always forgets during the first week back?

Behind every closing is a REALTOR® juggling calls, contracts, deadlines, inspections, scheduling, paperwork, and enough coffee to qualify as a business expense. 😂

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes to keep everything moving, fix the random chaos that pops up, and somehow still make closing day look easy.

Basically… real estate would be a lot simpler if I actually had 8 arms.

When you start house hunting, it’s easy for the wish list to get a little… ambitious. 😂

Before you start touring homes, separate your list into two categories:

**NEEDS** — the things the home truly has to have to work for you.
Think location, budget, size, layout, functionality, and condition.

**WANTS** — the extras you’d love to have, but could be flexible on for the right home.
Think views, a hot tub, upgraded finishes, bonus space, or other lifestyle features.

Identifying your priorities before you get too deep into the home search so you can stay focused on what matters most.

The goal isn’t necessarily to find a home that checks every single box.

It’s to find the one that checks the **right** boxes. 🏡

What’s one thing that would be an absolute non-negotiable for you?
