BUYING

Nighttime view of a modern house with a swimming pool, outdoor seating area, and landscaped desert plants, with mountains and a clear sky in the background.

Buying a home has become highly automated. Finding listings is easy. Understanding the house is not.

I understand homes—how they’re built, how they can change, and how much those changes really cost. I help buyers navigate inspections, negotiate repairs intelligently, and avoid over-improving for the area. I also see opportunity where others see mess, helping buyers recognize value others miss.
