With my 1% listing fee, you'll save thousands when selling, giving you financial freedom to invest in your next home. It's a smarter more cost effective way to buy and sell on the Gulf Coast.
You’re never left guessing. I blind-carbon-copy you on all email communications so you always know what’s being said and how I’m advocating for you.
My guidance is based on real experience — not theory. I use what I’ve learned in 90+ transactions to protect you every step of the way.
Whether you’re local or buying remotely, I customize your Pensacola home search around you're needs.
From spotting issues early to guiding you through inspections and negotiation, I make sure your dream home is the right home.
The market has shifted — and that actually puts buyers in a better position. I’m seeing more inventory, more choices, and sellers who are increasingly open to concessions, repairs, and closing cost help. With the right strategy, you can take advantage of this window. I help you spot value, negotiate smarter, and save money while guiding you through every step of buying in Pensacola’s changing market.
We start with a quick conversation about your goals, timeline, and what you’re looking for in a home. It’s simple, relaxed, and helps me tailor the entire buying experience to you. Sometimes, buyer's are unclear about what they want it's my job to bring clarity.
step one
Before you start house hunting, it's smart to be properly prepared financially. That means getting pre-approved for a mortgage and settling on a budget that work best for you. I can introduce you to a trusted mortgage broker to help prepare you for your purchase.
step two
Whether in person or remote, I set aside dedicated time to tour homes, send curated listings, and help you spot the right fit fast. If you want to see something quickly, I will make all efforts to getting you a look inside before losing to another buyer.
step three
When you find the one, I help you craft a smart, strategic offer that saves you money. I look for negotiation points and protections other agents often miss — from seller credits to repair leverage — so you get the best price, the best terms, and the strongest value in the Pensacola market.
step four
We schedule inspections, review results together, and negotiate repairs or concessions so you feel protected and informed.
step five
I coordinate with your lender, monitor deadlines, and help navigate any appraisal questions or contract details.
step six
After your final walk through, it's closing day!
You sign the final paperwork, get your keys, and celebrate — I’ll handle the details so the process stays smooth and stress-free.

Because life changes. If you need more space, want a better location, or are ready for a lifestyle upgrade, the right move can outweigh the rate you’re leaving behind — especially with more choices and negotiable prices in today’s market.
That’s common - I can time both so you sell smoothly and buy without pressure, using options like contingencies or lease-backs to keep everything seamless. The beauty is you'll save thousands to put towards your next move. Listing at 1% is a smart move.
If something comes up on the inspection, don’t panic. Almost every home has a list of small fixes. I guide you through what’s truly important, what’s negotiable, and how to keep the deal moving without giving up more than you need to. My job is to protect your equity while keeping the buyer confident and committed.
I can, but most sellers now require a pre-approval before showings. Getting it done first means we know exactly what to look at, move faster, and avoid falling in love with a home you can’t pursue yet.
Yes! Many homes are aspirationally priced and often adjust over time. I’ll help you watch them so you don’t miss opportunities when prices shift into your range.
No- and here’s why: using one dedicated agent protects you. It keeps your search organized, avoids contract conflicts, and ensures you get priority attention, faster showings, and stronger negotiation. When I’m your only agent, I can fully advocate for you.
We use data and strategy. I compare recent sales, current competition, and seller motivation so you never overpay. In today’s market, reducing your interest rate has a bigger impact on your monthly payment than a small discount on the purchase price, so negotiating a rate buy down is our first priority.
