I came to real estate from a background in real estate investing and property management. Rather than sell our condo when we bought a new house, we decided to rent it out. While raising my kids, investment real estate became my side hustle and we are now at five properties that we actively manage.I ended up at Long and Foster which has long been the dominant real estate company in the mid-Atlantic and I am excited to be a part of this "family". We have an incredible amount of technology, expertise, and reach in the market. I leverage this to give my clients the best possible value in whatever their transaction may entail.My typical clients include:SELLERS who have been in their homes close to forever and need help getting ready for market - including help with decluttering, minor renovations, deep cleaning, etc to get the home sold as soon as possible at the best price.INVESTORS who are looking to get a full market analysis for cap rates and details on the type of tenant they can expect and what the bottom line will look like.Upsizers & downsizers who need to sell their current home and buy something new.FIRST TIME BUYERS who may benefit from one of the state and county sponsored programs for new buyers or just want to stop throwing money away on rent.RENTERS who are not yet ready to buy because they do not yet know enough about the area, or do not yet have the budget needed. LANDLORDS looking for the best possible tenant for their investment.
