Real Estate Advice. Straight Answers. And Probably an Opinion.
I've been helping people buy and sell homes in Durham and the surrounding Triangle since 2004. And after all that time, I've learned something pretty important: people don't need more real estate sales talk. They need someone they trust to tell them the truth.
That's how I work.
I'll tell you when I think a house is worth pursuing—and when I think you should run. If you're selling, I'll tell you what I think you need to do before we list, what you can probably skip, and what I believe your home is realistically worth.
I'm not a high-pressure salesperson, and I'm definitely not going to tell you what you want to hear just to get your business. My job is to give you the information and experience you need to make a smart decision—and then fight like crazy for you once you've made it.
I'm a longtime Durham resident and have spent more than two decades selling homes throughout Durham and the surrounding Triangle. I know the neighborhoods, the market, the quirks of older homes, the new construction, and quite a few things you probably won't find on Google.
The Stuff That Isn't on My Business Card
I was born a Georgia Peach, moved to North Carolina when I was seven, and have called the Durham area home for a very long time.
I'm a wife, mom, brand-new grandma, Reese's Cup eater and a boiled-peanut lover.
I'm loyal. I'm opinionated. I'm usually early. I live by my calendar and have been known to use sarcasm as a second language.
And somewhere along the way, real estate became a whole lot more than my job.
After more than 20 years in this business, some of my favorite clients have become friends, past clients have become repeat clients, and now I'm helping some of their kids buy homes too.
That's the part I love.
How I Work
I’ll give you my opinion.
You’re hiring me for my experience—not to nod at everything you say.
I’ll explain the why.
Contracts, inspections, due diligence, repairs, pricing and negotiations don’t need to sound like a foreign language.
I won’t pressure you.
Sometimes the smartest real estate decision is to wait.
I’ll fight for you.
When it’s time to negotiate, I’m not afraid of an uncomfortable conversation.
I’ll keep things in perspective.
Real estate can be stressful enough. We don’t need to create extra drama.
