If I could go back and have one conversation with myself before my marriage ended, it would not be about the divorce itself. It would be about the house.
Specifically, about what the house was about to become. Not just a home — though it was that too, for twenty years. But the single largest asset in a legal settlement.
Something that had to be calculated, divided, and negotiated while grief and logistics and a hundred other decisions were happening at the same time.
As a REALTOR® I understood the numbers. I knew the equity, the market value, the process.
What I was not prepared for was how different it feels to be on the inside of that transaction — as a party, not an agent. How personal the financial decisions become when it is your kitchen, your backyard, your twenty years sitting across the table in a negotiation.
Knowing the real estate piece did not make it easy.
But it did give me a clarity that I watched other women navigate without. Women who did not know what their equity actually meant for their next chapter. Who did not understand the long-term cost of keeping a house they could not comfortably afford on one income. Who made housing decisions in the middle of the hardest season of their lives without someone who understood both the transaction and the terrain.
That is the gap I fill now.
Not just the real estate side — but the full picture of what a housing decision means for your financial future when you are starting over.
If you are navigating a housing decision right now and want someone who understands both — I am here.
