Find Your Dreams A Home My Story. I grew up locally here in Montgomery County. As a kid, life wasn't always easy.

There was a time in my life when I didn't have a home to call my own. I knew I'd rather not be a victim of my hard times and circumstances and I would make it a point to give back. I enlisted in the Army Reserve at the end of high school to help pay for my education at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. I worked in finance and helped run a nonprofit that helped Veterans obtain VA benefit

s. Wanting to get "out of the conference room" I decided to move into real estate. I began helping financial planning clients and friends with their real estate needs and it turned out that I loved it! I enjoyed how relationship-centric real estate is. It's allowed me to bond with people in a way financial planning didn't. I became addicted to the impact I could have on a person's life by telling them "you got the house!" or "we are under contract!". Everyone is so grateful that it never feels like work. Real estate allows me to be with my family more than ever. Chances are you are going to see Kinley when I drop off a sign or hear my son in the background while on a call. I hope they see my desire to help others and impact them to want to do the same.

Full circle moment.⁣
⁣
About 8 years ago I decided that the big box gym wasn’t getting it done.⁣
⁣
It felt isolating, boring, and not fulfilling. We all know that feeling.⁣
⁣
I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone & decided to try group fitness.⁣
⁣
I was hooked! I Loved it all. From HIIT, Crossfit, Bikram——You name it and I was doing it.⁣
⁣
Why? Because of the coaches.⁣
⁣
I’ve been so thankful for each coach I’ve had. ⁣
⁣
Doesn’t matter if it’s physically or mentally related-—They all do one thing really well.⁣
⁣
They all care like you wouldn’t believe!⁣
⁣
Not just about your health, but they care about your families, friends, pets, and everything in between.⁣
⁣
Fitness is a funny thing. We all stink together for an hour & yet we all create these long term bonds!⁣
⁣
And here are both and I, 8 years later creating a community here at .rockville where everyone can come and become their best!
⁣
To all our coaches, thank you——but again NOT THE BURPEES!⁣ 😎

One thing I promise not to do.⁣
‌⁣
Over the years I have tried to share meaningful info that is usually always fun!⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s me laying in front of a truck in yellow pants, or holding my kids upside down all while giving helpful tips & tricks.⁣
⁣
The one thing I will never ask is for you to pose with a “Just Sold” sign.⁣
⁣
The reason is simple.⁣
⁣
The experience isn’t about me....it’s about you! ⁣
⁣
It’s your personal experience and you should be the one telling the story.⁣
⁣
Many of the best movies ever made have directors we have never heard of.⁣
⁣
There is a reason for that. ⁣
⁣
You are the focus and the main lead...I’m happy to just be on the rolling credits!⁣

📸 “So hot right now.” — Real Estate.
Just finished showing a home that’s so good-looking, even Derek Zoolander would stop mid-Blue Steel to take a selfie in the foyer.

🔥 Open concept?
✔️ “More open than Hansel’s shirt.”

🔥 Natural light?
✔️ “It’s like the sun is doing Magnum through every window.”

🔥 Kitchen?
✔️ “So sleek it made me forget how to turn left.”

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just want to walk-off your way into a new zip code — I’ve got the moves (and the listings) to help you win the runway of real estate.

I got fired today.

I recently began working with a client who after 3 weeks is moving in a different direction.

Why?

It was because I was honest from the start.

I was honest that the time they wanted to list was rushed, but they wanted to anyway.

I was honest about the list price, but wanted to list higher than the current market.

I was honest that homes typically take about 45 days to move under contract.

I moved quickly deploying my team of landscapers, contractors, photographer, and cleaners.

I showcased over 50 private showings and 5 open houses within a small window.

I spent Father’s day working their listing.

When I asked if they were relisting and was told “yes, this person promised us the world”.

While I would love to do that, I can’t. It’s not fair to over promise.

The one thing I always promise is transparency, education, and honesty.

While it stings, I treat every client like they were my own mom.

I mean, she has had me represent her plenty!

Hard to believe it’s already been 30 days since ISI Rockville opened its doors.

This journey began 18 months ago—just the two of us, & I having long talks, late nights, and a shared vision. From day one, it was never just about building a gym. It was always about the people. The lives we could impact. The community we could grow.

Now, 30 days in, it’s been more than we ever imagined. The kind words, the thoughtful messages, the reviews—they’ve touched us deeply. These were the moments we dreamed about when this was still just an idea on paper.

What keeps us going, day after day, is the people walking through our doors. Our members inspire us. Your energy, your commitment, your heart—it’s what gives us the strength to keep showing up and giving our best.

And it’s not just us—our coaches love our members. Our sales leaders love our members. Every decision we make, every effort we put in, always comes back to one thing: you. You are always our focus.

Thank you for showing up, for trusting us, and for being the heart of ISI Rockville. We’re beyond grateful—and we’re just getting started. ❤️

2025 is hitting different.

The real estate market is always evolving — and right now, staying informed is more important than ever.

Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or selling a longtime investment, market shifts can impact everything from pricing to timing to negotiation strategies.

That’s why working with a knowledgeable real estate expert matters. Someone who can break down the data, offer clear insights, and help you navigate the process with confidence — no matter your goals or price point.

It’s not just about making a move. It’s about making the right move.

Its Masters week and I be got a hack even for my non golfers out there ⁣
⁣
Did you know the IRS has a rule so sweet, it clubs your tax bill? It’s called the Augusta Rule—and no, it’s not just for golfers! ⛳⁣
⁣
Here’s the par-fect summary: You can rent out your home for up to 14 days a year and not pay a dime in taxes on that rental income. Yep, it’s a hole-in-one for homeowners! 🏠💸⁣
⁣
Whether you’re hosting a tournament crowd (like in Augusta) or just some family for a wedding, you can swing this rule to your advantage.⁣
⁣
🏠 + 🗓️14 days = 💰 tax-free income⁣
IRS: “We’ll fore-give you this one.”⁣
⁣
So go ahead, take a drive down Tax Savings Lane—just don’t putter around too long!⁣

The #1 thing I ask during our consultation.⁣
⁣
It doesn’t matter if we are listing a home for sale or shopping for that first home.⁣
⁣
The question remains the same: What type of experience are you looking for throughout this process?⁣
⁣
Buying and selling a home is as unique as you are and I want to cater the experience as such.⁣
⁣
Maybe you like to know every detail.⁣
⁣
Maybe you can’t be bothered with the small stuff due to a busy schedule.⁣
⁣
Maybe you want to be hands on....or hands off.⁣
⁣
The way for me to know what’s important is to simply ask!⁣
⁣
My goal is to have you leaving super excited on what is going to happen as soon as we begin working together.⁣

The #1 reason you need a real estate agent more than ever? ⁣
⁣
Expert guidance.⁣
⁣
With fluctuating interest rates, competitive bidding wars, and ever-changing regulations, navigating today’s real estate market can be overwhelming. ⁣
⁣
A skilled agent is your trusted advisor, helping you make informed decisions, negotiate the best deals, and avoid costly mistakes. ⁣
⁣
Whether you’re buying or selling, their experience and local knowledge will be your biggest asset!⁣

Our relationship is more than a transaction.⁣
⁣
I say this a lot, but it’s important to see an example.⁣
⁣
I visited a family this week that relocated here from out of state.⁣
⁣
I wanted to pop by and see them since they were finally settled ⁣
⁣
In addition to that I wanted to provide them with a detailed review of the market and ensure they are in the know of all things market related.⁣
⁣
These RE reviews are something I look to do annually with clients as well as anyone that has questions (because we all do!).⁣
⁣
But if I’m being honest, it’s the relationship we form that goes beyond the transaction where my bucket fills.⁣
⁣
I had shared that I watched the first Star Wars movie with Ledger this weekend with them.⁣
⁣
I talked about how it was just a core memory to watch it the first time and getting to do that with him was something I’ll never forget.⁣
⁣
When I shared this, they gave me this incredible book all about Star Wars. ⁣
⁣
I was so blown away by the kind gesture.⁣
⁣
When I shared it with Ledger he got SO excited. To the point where he fell asleep with the light on looking at all the photos (hence why he looks so tired!). 😂⁣
⁣
While I know they are grateful for my help, it’s these moments that reinforce why I love what I do.⁣

When buying a home, it’s easy to get caught up in size, beds, & baths. ⁣
⁣
Don’t forget to consider the community around it! ⁣
⁣
A great neighborhood offers more than just a place to live—it provides safety, support, and connection. 👥 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Look for schools, parks, shops, and social opportunities. The vibe of your community can play a big role in your quality of life.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Case in point, this is the 5th year I’ve been able to coach Kinley’s basketball team. She feels a part of something bigger than herself and as parents feel like we’re not alone in raising kids! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We also know we have support from those around us should we ever need. It’s made our house feel like home.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When you invest in a home, you’re also investing in a place where you can feel a part of something bigger. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Choose a place that fits both your needs and your values. 💛⁣⁣
