Stop asking whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market. Ask what the market lets YOU do.

Everyone focuses on the final sales price.

I can tell you that’s rarely what determines whether a deal comes together.

The right Realtor matters.

Because negotiation isn’t just about throwing numbers back and forth. It’s about understanding people. It’s about timing, communication, and knowing when to push, when to pause, and when to bring everyone back to the table.

The biggest mistake I see sellers make is thinking they’re negotiating against the buyer.

They’re not.

They’re negotiating against time, competing opportunities, shifting emotions, and a buyer who’s still deciding if this is the right home for their family.

What many sellers don’t realize is that buyers aren’t negotiating in a vacuum.

They’re still looking at homes.

They’re still weighing options.

They’re still imagining their future somewhere else.

And sometimes, if negotiations drag on too long or communication breaks down, buyers lose confidence and walk away, even if the seller eventually agrees to their number.

I’ve seen it happen.

The seller finally says yes.

The buyer says no.

Not because of the price.

Because the feeling was gone.

That’s why who you hire matters.

A great Realtor doesn’t just negotiate the price. They negotiate the emotions, timing, communication, and obstacles that can derail a deal before it ever reaches the closing table.

And here’s something that may surprise you...
I will never pressure you into a transaction.
Ever.
If it doesn’t feel right, we’ll walk away.
If the numbers don’t make sense, we’ll walk away.
If the timing isn’t right, we’ll walk away.
Because my goal isn’t to get a deal done.

My goal is to help you make the right decision for your family.

The reality is that homes don’t sell because of hope. They sell when the right buyer, the right timing, the right strategy, and the right negotiation all come together.

Thinking about buying or selling? Send me a DM and let’s get you started.

No question is a silly one. I’m always here! 🙏🏻

I started my real estate career on January 1st, 2026.

Not because I had 100 deals under my belt.
Not because I had it all figured out.
But because I care deeply about helping people feel confident when making one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

Before this, my only experience was buying and selling my own homes…
📝Studying real estate in California…
✅Completing my Arizona licensing courses…
🫶🏼And building businesses like Furternity house from scratch.

But what I’ve realized?
Real estate isn’t about experience.
It’s about responsibility.

Responsibility to:
Educate
Communicate clearly
Protect your peace
Advocate hard
And never make you feel “dumb” for asking questions

If you’re:
🇺🇸 A Veteran
🎖 Active Military
🏠 A first-time buyer
🤔 Or someone who wants to buy or sell but doesn’t know where to start, or know someone like that...

THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU/THEM!!!

I’ll be sharing:
🕰️ What I’m learning in real time
🏘️ Market breakdowns in Yuma
🏦 VA loan clarity
🛡️First-time buyer guidance
And probably a few 🏍️motorcycle & 🐶dog cameos, maybe even some fun traveling.

My goal?
For you to really, truly FEEL cared for.
Not pressured.

So let me ask you something —
What’s the one thing about buying or selling a home that feels confusing right now?

Drop it below. I’ll turn it into a post. 👇
