How I support sellers
Preparing a home for market begins with a realistic price assessment and a practical plan to present the property at its best. I coordinate professional photography, recommend cost-effective repairs that deliver the strongest return, and create an outreach plan aimed at qualified buyers. My goal is to make the sales process straightforward: set clear expectations, handle negotiations directly, and keep you informed at every decision point.
How I support buyers
When representing buyers, I focus on neighborhood-level details that matter: schools, commute corridors, local services, and future development that could affect property values. I screen listings to match priorities, arrange efficient showing schedules, and provide concise market comparisons so offers are based on data and sound judgment. I will negotiate terms to protect your interests and guide you through inspections and closing without unnecessary delay.
Neighborhoods I serve
Duluth and surrounding communities each have a distinct character. Whether you are considering an established neighborhood with mature landscaping, a newer subdivision with community amenities, or a condo near retail and transit, I provide straightforward comparisons so you can weigh trade-offs such as lot size, taxes, and nearby services.
Pricing and market approach
Pricing a property accurately is the most important step to a successful sale. I produce a market analysis that uses recent sales, current competition, and local listing trends to set a price that draws attention from active buyers while protecting your equity. If you are buying, I will present offers that reflect local demand and condition without overpaying.
Process and communication
Clarity and directness guide every stage of the process. You will receive clear timelines, a list of next steps before each milestone, and prompt responses to questions. My role is to manage logistics, keep paperwork on track, and coordinate with lenders, inspectors, and title companies so the transaction moves forward smoothly.

What to expect at first meeting
At our first meeting we will review your goals, timeline, and any constraints. For sellers I will walk through the property and discuss presentation recommendations. For buyers I will prepare a list of comparable properties and an outline of financing options. The meeting is practical, focused on next steps, and intended to give you the information needed to make a decision.
Why local knowledge matters
Local experience means knowing which features buyers in a given price range prioritize, which streets hold value best, and how seasonal listing cycles affect exposure. That insight becomes an operational advantage during pricing, staging, and negotiation.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Should I make upgrades before listing?
A: Small targeted repairs and cosmetic updates often yield the best return. I will prioritize items that influence buyer perception and appraisal outcomes.
Q: How much earnest money is typical?
