Built for
the client,
not the deal
Your situation is the starting point, not a category to file you into. Most of my clients are in the middle of a life transition, and all of them get the same thing: an experienced read on the evidence and advice that protects their interests.
Tell me about your situation- 01 Home Sellers Straightforward pricing, prep guidance and a realistic look at what you will actually walk away with.
- 02 Relocating & Out-of-State Communities compared by lifestyle and fit, not just by price per square foot.
- 03 Luxury Buyers & Sellers Evidence-based valuation for view, golf-course and high-end properties.
- 04 Downsizing & Empty Nesters Rightsized homes and 55+ communities that fit the next chapter of your life.
- 05 Divorce & Estate Sales A calm, factual read on value and timing when emotions are running high.
- 06 New Construction Your own agent from model home to closing table, because the builder is not it.
- 07 Move-Up & Growing Families Trading up without overpaying, including selling and buying at the same time.
- 08 First-Time Buyers The entire process spelled out in plain English, one step at a time.

Years in the trenches
Buyers, sellers, investors, first moves and final moves across the Las Vegas Valley. There is not much in a transaction I have not negotiated before.
20
Years with an appraiser's eye
I was a licensed residential appraiser for about two decades, until 2013. I still evaluate property, comparables and pricing the way the appraiser on the other side will, because I used to be them.

Modern tools for research, marketing and communication, layered on top of the experience. Technology makes me faster and sharper. It does not replace judgment.
Sometimes the best real estate advice I can give you is not to buy or sell at all.
Three things
I know cold
Summerlin and its villages
From The Vistas and The Paseos to The Cliffs, The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club, I know the villages, the HOAs and the lifestyle differences that make one Summerlin address worth more than another.

Downsizing and 55+ living
I live in a 55+ community myself. Sun City Summerlin, Siena and the rest are lifestyle decisions, not just housing decisions, and I help you compare amenities, HOA costs and community culture before you compare floor plans.

Relocating to Las Vegas
Helping out-of-state buyers, especially from California, compare communities by lifestyle instead of simply searching for houses. Your equity should buy a life, not just a square footage number.

That's not the number
that matters most.
The number that matters is what you'll actually walk away with after your loans are paid and the costs of selling come out. I call it your Walk-Away Number, and I'll build it from your paperwork, not an algorithm.
