Selling your home is a big move—and one that deserves a smart, strategic plan. Whether you’ve sold before or this is your first time, I’m here to guide you through each step with clear communication, premium marketing, and the tools that get results.
We’ll begin with what matters most to you. Are you relocating on a deadline? Hoping to maximize your return? Downsizing? Moving out of state? Your goals shape our entire approach—and I’ll tailor everything I do to match your priorities.
Pricing correctly is key to attracting strong buyers early. I use up-to-date local data, market trends, and neighborhood comparables to recommend a price that positions your home competitively. When appropriate, I may also suggest a pre-listing appraisal to support the value.
Most homes benefit from a little prep before going live. I’ll walk you through the best ways to declutter, depersonalize, and highlight your home’s strengths. If you’d like, I also offer:
Accessory staging to elevate how each room feels in person and in photos
Virtual staging to help buyers imagine the space furnished or even reflect seasonal changes (think spring flowers in winter or poolside photos in summer)
This is where my background in technology and marketing shines. I invest real resources to get your home sold—because that’s what you deserve.
Here’s what I offer:
I create a professional video tour of your home to share across the MLS, social platforms, and digital ad campaigns. In addition, I offer a unique pre-recorded agent-guided video tour—a detailed walkthrough buyers can play while touring the home in person.
This video ensures that every feature is highlighted, even if their agent hasn’t previously seen the home. It allows me to “be there” in a sense—walking them through the flow, pointing out upgrades, and telling the story of the space—without interfering in the buyer-agent relationship.
🔒 The agent and buyer remain completely confidential; this simply ensures the home is presented thoroughly and professionally during every showing.
If you choose, I’ll create an interactive virtual tour that allows buyers to explore every room from their phone or laptop. I then create a floor plan based on that tour, which gets uploaded to your listing.
Even better—Zillow maps each photo to the floor plan, giving buyers a clear sense of the home’s layout. This has been especially valuable in securing out-of-town or relocation buyers who can’t see the home in person.
I’m proud to be one of the few agents in West Virginia selected for Zillow Showcase—a premium listing upgrade I’ve invested in to give my sellers a distinct advantage.
According to Zillow, Showcase listings receive:
Up to 79% more views, 76% more saves, and 91% more shares
A 10% higher chance of going under contract within 14 days
On average, a 2% higher sale price

For homes that qualify, I offer placement in the Better Homes and Gardens Distinctive Collection, which provides additional national exposure—including premium listing in the Wall Street Journal. This exposure targets high-end and out-of-state buyers who are searching for distinctive properties like yours.

I run targeted social ads based on where I believe your buyer will come from—locally, regionally, or nationally—so we can hit the ground running in the first days on market.
More and more people are discovering the magic of West Virginia—and I make sure your home is seen by the right buyers, no matter where they live. I run targeted ad campaigns that go beyond Charleston and reach relocation buyers from across the U.S., based on real-time data and buyer interest trends.
I’ve personally helped clients relocate here from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, and New York, and I continue to see strong demand from out-of-state buyers who are looking for a fresh start, a second home, or a change of pace.
Whether your buyer is across town or across the country, I know how to get your home in front of them. based on where I believe your buyer will come from—locally, regionally, or nationally—so we can hit the ground running in the first days on market.
Thanks to my local relationships and the BHGRE agent network, I often know of buyers looking before a listing even goes live. If you’re open to advance showings and receive a strong offer, your home may sell before ever hitting the open market—a great option for sellers who value privacy or speed.
And for sellers who prefer discretion, know that confidentiality is always a top priority. Whether we list publicly or sell privately, I handle every step of the process with care and professionalism.
I’ll walk you through every offer—explaining the terms, contingencies, financing strength, and flexibility. I’ll help you make a confident decision and negotiate if needed to get you the best outcome.
Once we reach agreement, I’ll make sure all details are clearly outlined—earnest money, financing, inspections, timelines, and contingencies. Everything will be handled with care, and nothing left to guesswork.
From coordinating inspections and repairs to working with your buyer’s team and the title company, I manage every step so nothing falls through the cracks. I also help you with your move-out schedule and any final logistics.
We’ll finalize the transaction, transfer ownership, and make sure all final tasks are wrapped up—from utilities and keys to final documents. You walk away ready for your next chapter—with confidence and clarity.
From smart pricing to stunning marketing, national exposure, and unmatched digital tools, I go above and beyond to help your home shine—and sell. If you're ready to talk strategy or just want to learn more about Zillow Showcase or the Distinctive Collection, I’d love to connect.
