Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase

contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close. Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

Thinking about house hacking? Here's what you need to know before you dive in. ⁣
⁣
Zoning and local regulations are non-negotiable. ADU legality, short-term rental rules, and multi-family zoning vary dramatically by city and neighborhood. What's allowed three blocks away may not be allowed on your property. Unpermitted units create liability headaches that outlast the savings. Do things by the book from the start. ⁣
⁣
Be honest about lifestyle fit. Sharing a property with tenants — whether strangers or family — requires a certain temperament and a willingness to handle uncomfortable conversations. Clear boundaries and realistic expectations matter. ⁣
⁣
And always run conservative numbers. If the math works with vacancy and maintenance built in, you're solid. If it only works at 100% occupancy, it's a risk. ⁣

If you're thinking about selling your home, you've probably heard the term "months of supply" thrown around. But what does it actually mean? ⁣
⁣
Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell all available homes at the current sales pace. It's one of the clearest indicators of whether we're in a buyer's or seller's market. ⁣
⁣
Here's the breakdown: ⁣
- Less than 5 months = Seller's market (low inventory, more competition among buyers) ⁣
- 5-6 months = Balanced market ⁣
- More than 6 months = Buyer's market (more inventory, buyers have negotiating power) ⁣
⁣
Right now, inventory levels are rising in many markets across the country. According to recent NAR data, we're seeing a shift from the extreme seller's market of the past few years. This means pricing strategy, home preparation, and timing matter more than ever. ⁣
⁣
If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" to list, understanding these metrics can help you make a more informed decision about your specific situation and local market conditions. ⁣
⁣

Want to know the original house hack? Buy a duplex, triplex, or small multi-family. Live in one unit. Rent out the others. It's been working for decades — and it still does in 2026. ⁣
⁣
FHA loans allow you to buy properties with up to 4 units with as little as 3.5% down, as long as you live in one unit. Veterans can use a VA loan with zero down. And Freddie Mac's Home Possible program allows qualified buyers to put down just 3%. ⁣
⁣
The financing options are more accessible than most buyers realize. For those willing to share a property line with their tenants, the income potential is typically higher than an ADU, and the strategy is time-tested. If you're serious about house hacking, don't overlook the classic approach. ⁣

Not every pre-listing fix needs to be big or expensive. But there are a few small repairs sellers shouldn’t ignore because buyers notice them immediately. ⁣
⁣
Here are some of the most common ones: ⁣
⁣
1. Leaky faucets or running toilets ⁣
Small issues like these can make buyers wonder what else hasn’t been maintained. ⁣
⁣
2. Loose handles, hinges, or cabinet hardware ⁣
They’re inexpensive to fix, but they affect how cared-for a home feels. ⁣
⁣
3. Scuffed paint and wall damage ⁣
Patches, touch-ups, and fresh paint in key areas can make the whole home feel cleaner and more current. ⁣
⁣
4. Burned-out light bulbs or outdated fixtures ⁣
Lighting has a huge impact on first impressions, especially in photos and showings. ⁣
⁣
5. Doors that stick, squeak, or don’t close properly ⁣
These are small annoyances that can make a home feel older or neglected. ⁣
⁣
None of these repairs will transform a home on their own. But together, they can reduce buyer hesitation and help your home feel better maintained from the start. ⁣
⁣
If you’re getting ready to sell, the best pre-listing strategy usually starts with the simple things first.

Multi-generational home buying hit a record high in 2024. 14% of all home purchases were multi-generational. Gen X buyers led the way at 19%. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 ⁣
⁣
This isn't a trend. It's a structural shift. ⁣
⁣
Among multi-generational buyers, 41% said the primary reason was to care for or support aging parents — the highest share since tracking began in 2015. Another 23% wanted to spend more time with their parents. For Gen X especially, who are often supporting both aging parents and adult children, a home designed to accommodate multiple generations solves several problems at once: caretaking, privacy, and cost. ⁣
⁣
House hacking doesn't always mean renting to strangers. Sometimes it means sharing a home — and the costs — with the people who matter most. ⁣

Buyers have moved on. Here's what's working against sellers right now: ⁣
⁣
❌ All-gray and stark white interiors ⁣
❌ Shiplap for the sake of shiplap ⁣
❌ Matching every fixture and cabinet pull to one metal finish ⁣
❌ Open shelving as a kitchen default ⁣
❌ The undifferentiated open floor plan ⁣
❌ Single-use bonus rooms — man caves, dedicated wine rooms, home theaters that can't flex ⁣
⁣
None of these will tank a sale on their own. But they can create hesitation — and hesitation shows up in longer days on market and more negotiated offers. ⁣
⁣
The good news? Most of these are fixable without a contractor. Drop a comment or send me a message and let's talk through what's actually worth addressing before you list.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become the gold standard for house hacking in 2026 — and there's a reason why. 🏠 ⁣
⁣
As of March 2026, Fannie Mae allows lenders to count projected ADU rental income toward your mortgage qualification — up to 30% of your total qualifying income. That means the income potential of an ADU can help you qualify for a home you otherwise couldn't afford. ⁣
⁣
ADUs include: ⁣
🔹 Detached backyard cottages ⁣
🔹 Converted garages ⁣
🔹 Basement suites with separate entrances ⁣
⁣
They're increasingly legal, financially supported, and proven in the rental market. If affordability is your biggest barrier to homeownership, an ADU-eligible property might be the solution. ⁣

It is with great pleasure we introduce two brand new homeowners! Jon and Rachel are good friends of their agent, Nathan Rottmayer, and it was his pleasure to assist in their search for their FIRST HOME!

This market is not always easy for first time home buyers, HOWEVER the RIGHT TEAM can make dreams come true! Sometimes the right property comes along immediately and some times the search is a little longer. This couple found the right home after a few offers that just did not work out in their favor. When the right house came along, nothing stood in the way!

It was a great pleasure to work together with Edwin Sanitago and Brenden Shoemaker from CrossCountry Mortgage to help these two great people achieve homeownership!
