Buying a home

Find the right home, on the right terms.

From your first search to the day you get the keys, you get one agent who knows Rutherford County, answers the phone and negotiates like the money is her own.

What I do for buyers

More than opening doors.

A search built around you

Budget, commute, schools, yard, garage, the must-haves and the deal-breakers. I set up alerts so you see the right homes the day they list.

Local knowledge

Which subdivisions flood, where the new interchange is going, which builders stand behind their work. The things you can't see on a listing.

Offer strategy

Recent sales, days on market and the seller's situation shape every offer. Win the home without paying more than you have to.

Inspection guidance

Trusted inspectors, plain-English explanations of what they find, and a repair request that's firm but reasonable.

Financing help

Local lenders who close on time, and help understanding pre-approval, rates, down-payment programs and closing costs.

Your advocate to closing

I represent you and only you, through appraisal, title, the final walk-through and the closing table.

The process

Buying a home in six steps.

Most buyers go from first call to keys in 45 to 90 days. Here's what happens along the way.

First-time buyer? Ask me about Tennessee Housing Development Agency programs and lender down-payment assistance. Many buyers qualify for more than they expect.

  1. Get pre-approved

    Talk to a lender first so we know your real budget and can move fast when the right home shows up.

  2. Define the search

    We go through what matters most and set up a search with alerts for Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Lascassas, Christiana or anywhere else you're considering.

  3. Tour homes

    I'll point out what I see in each one, the good and the costly, so you can compare with clear eyes.

  4. Make a strong offer

    Price, earnest money, contingencies and timing, all tuned to the home and the competition.

  5. Inspect and negotiate

    Inspection, appraisal and repair negotiations, handled so nothing slips through.

  6. Close and move in

    Final walk-through, closing documents and keys. Then I'm still a text away.
