Buying or selling a home can bring a lot of uncertainty, with major decisions and financial considerations at every turn. Many clients feel overwhelmed by pricing, timing, and understanding what steps to take next. The process can be stressful without clear direction and dependable support. With the right guide alongside them, clients can feel confident, make informed choices, and reach a successful closing with peace of mind.

From its vibrant downtown and storied past to its stunning beaches and welcoming neighborhoods, there’s truly something here for everyone.

As a local Wilmington resident for over a decade, I’m proud to call this coastal community home. I’m married and have three children, and our family loves everything Wilmington has to offer. You can often find me enjoying a coffee at Port City Java, grabbing a bite at Nikki’s downtown, or spending time at the South End of Wrightsville Beach. Living here has given me a deep appreciation for the area and the lifestyle it provides.

I think that knowing where we come from grounds us. It lets us know that no matter how far we roam to find ourselves, we will always have a place to call home.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Back to the questions
Should I sell my current home before purchasing a new one?
Another simple answer...yes. Many people sell their current homes before they purchase a new one. They can leverage the equity built up in the home to use for a down payment. I have good contacts around town for short term rentals should you sell your current home and not have identified your new home yet. We'll go over this info in the first face to face meeting.

Do you help people who are looking to rent?
While I primarily focus on helping people sell and purchase homes, yes, I can help people find rentals.
