I have helped hundreds of Northern Virginia families sell. In 2025, my listings sold for 100.42% of list price on average, and half were under contract in 7 days or less. I am your trusted guide, from the first walkthrough to the key exchange.

Here is how my sale prices compare with the average for other agents.

The average for other agents is all closed sales in the cities where my listings sold, weighted to match. Sale price is compared with the original list price.

After we walk through your home, I give you a room-by-room guide with photos and notes, built around your budget.
We review the recent sales together. You get a written value and a net sheet on every offer, so you know what you will keep.
If you are not happy with my service, you can cancel the listing.*
You hear what buyers think of your home immediately after we receive their feedback, and we talk every week. You also get updates on marketing activities, new competition, and recent sales.
Photography, a personal website for your home, open houses with mailed postcards, and marketing on over 200 sites.
Offers reviewed with you, contingencies tracked, and daily follow-up with the title company and the lender, until you get your check.
*Restrictions apply. Details in the listing agreement.

After we walk through your home together, I put everything we talked about into a personal guide. It goes room by room, with photos and plain notes, so you always know what to do and what to skip. Email or a printed copy, whichever you prefer.
Before
AfterEvery guide is made just for your home. Nothing you cannot afford or do not want.
Straight answers, before you decide anything.
We walk through your home together. I tell you what is worth doing, what to skip, and what can wait. Often it is small, low-cost changes, and it all goes into your personal Home Prep Guide.
Before we list, I give you a written net sheet: what the home should sell for, what comes out, and what you keep. We update it with every offer, so there are no surprises at the settlement table.
Every home is different, so before you decide anything, I give you both numbers: what I believe your home would sell for as is, and what I expect with the improvements, after what they cost. Here is a home we prepared.
BEFOREBefore: as we found it at our first appointment.
AFTERAfter: the recommended improvements, ready for photos and showings.
At your appointment I put both numbers in writing for your home. Past results do not guarantee future results.
Many sellers cannot pay up front, and that is okay. I know contractors and other vendors, and many are willing to be paid at settlement, out of the sale proceeds.* We pick only what is worth doing for your budget.
*Payment terms are an agreement between you and the vendor, separate from the sale of your home. I take no referral fees.
Selling a home you have lived in for years is a lot. Here is how I take the weight off.
We walk through the house together. I meet you where you are and suggest what will make the biggest difference for the money, within your budget. Nothing you cannot afford or do not want.
