Buying a Home
Buying a home in Southwest Florida doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether it’s your first home or your next investment, I’ll guide you step by step so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 1: Get Pre-Approved
Before we start looking, getting pre-approved helps you know your exact budget and shows sellers you’re serious. If you need a great local lender, I can connect you with trusted professionals.
Step 2: Find the Right Home
We’ll narrow down your must-haves and start viewing homes that fit your goals, price range, and lifestyle. I’ll set you up with alerts so you’re the first to know when something new hits the market.
Step 3: Make an Offer
Once you find “the one,” I’ll help you prepare a strong, competitive offer and handle the negotiation to get you the best possible terms.
Step 4: Home Inspection & Appraisal
After your offer is accepted, inspections and appraisal take place to make sure the property is in good shape and priced fairly. I’ll walk you through what to expect and what to do if issues come up.
Step 5: Financing & Title Work
Your lender finalizes your loan, and the title company ensures everything is clear for closing. I’ll stay on top of every detail and keep you updated so nothing falls through the cracks.
Step 6: Closing Day
This is the best part! You’ll sign your documents, get your keys, and officially become a homeowner. I’ll be right there with you to celebrate and make sure it all goes smoothly.

Selling a Home
Selling your home is more than just putting a sign in the yard — it’s about strategy, presentation, and smart marketing. My goal is to help you sell for top dollar, in the shortest time possible, with the least amount of stress.
Step 1: Consultation & Market Analysis
We’ll start with a detailed market analysis to determine your home’s current market value based on comparable sales, market trends, and location. I’ll walk you through pricing strategies so we can position your property competitively right from the start.
Step 2: Preparing Your Home
I’ll guide you on what updates, repairs, or small improvements will make the biggest impact. Even simple changes like fresh paint, lighting, or decluttering can increase your home’s appeal and value.
Step 3: Professional Staging & Photography
Presentation is everything. My team and I will help stage your home to highlight its best features and create a warm, welcoming first impression. We’ll arrange for professional photography and, when needed, drone footage or video tours to make your listing stand out online.
Step 4: Marketing Strategy
Once your home is ready, I’ll launch a full marketing plan that includes:
-
MLS exposure and syndication to major real estate platforms (Redfin, Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.)
-
Paid social media ads targeting qualified buyers
-
Email campaigns to my buyer database
-
Open houses and virtual tours
-
Eye-catching signage and neighborhood promotion
Every listing gets a custom plan based on location, property type, and target audience.
Step 5: Showings & Feedback
I’ll handle all showings, communicate directly with buyers’ agents, and share feedback so we can adjust strategy if needed. You’ll always know what’s happening and how the market is responding.
Step 6: Offers, Negotiation & Closing
When offers come in, I’ll negotiate for your best price and terms, keeping your priorities front and center. From contract to closing, I’ll coordinate with title, lenders, and buyers’ agents to ensure a smooth process.
Tenant Placement Services
Finding the right tenant is one of the most important parts of protecting your investment. My tenant placement service is designed to help landlords fill vacancies quickly with qualified renters — while handling all the details for you.
Step 1: Property Evaluation & Pricing
We’ll start by reviewing your property, recent rental activity, and neighborhood trends to determine the right rental price that attracts strong applicants while maximizing your income.
Step 2: Marketing & Advertising
Your rental will be listed across top rental platforms and MLS, reaching thousands of renters. I’ll also promote it through:
-
Professional photos and descriptions
-
Facebook Marketplace and local groups
-
My website and Redfin partner network
-
Targeted ads to local renters and relocation prospects
Step 3: Showings & Tenant Screening
I’ll handle all showing requests, communicate with interested tenants, and collect applications.
Every applicant is screened carefully for:
-
Credit and background check
-
Employment verification
-
Rental history and references
Only qualified applicants will be recommended for approval.
Step 4: Lease Preparation & Move-In Coordination
Once you select your tenant, I’ll prepare the lease (or coordinate with your attorney or property manager), collect deposits, and handle move-in scheduling, key exchange, and any required HOA applications.
Step 5: Handover to Landlord / Property Manager
After the tenant moves in, you’ll receive:
-
A copy of the signed lease and application
-
Deposit confirmation
-
Tenant contact information
-
Move-in checklist/photos if applicable
If you manage the property yourself, everything will be ready for a smooth handoff.
