Your Home Purchase Starts with the Right Guidance

Buying a home is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or experienced homeowner, having a knowledgeable local agent by your side can make the difference between a stressful search and a smooth, rewarding purchase.

As a dedicated Greater Des Moines real estate agent, I work closely with buyers to simplify the home buying process, provide honest advice, and negotiate on your behalf — all while making sure you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

What to Expect When Buying with Me

I streamline the process by combining hands-on guidance with professional resources. Here’s how I help from start to finish

Consultation & Pre-Approval

We’ll start with a conversation about your needs, goals, budget, and timing. I’ll help you connect with reputable mortgage lenders to get pre-approved so you’re ready to act when the right property hits the market.

Property Search & Showings

Based on your criteria, I’ll send you custom property alerts and schedule private showings. Whether you’re looking for a starter home, a move-up property, or a long-term investment, I’ll help you evaluate each option thoroughly.

Offers, Negotiation & Closing

Once we find the right home, I’ll write a strong offer, handle the negotiations, and walk you through contingencies, inspections, and final paperwork — right through closing day and beyond.
