Real estate is the perfect career for me because with hard work, potential is limitless. Instead of refusing to get back up after losing my health care job during the pandemic, I arose as a stronger professional ready to leave the daily grind behind to help educate others about the benefits of being a homeowner. If my previous work in hospitality and pharmaceutical sales taught me anything, it's that the better you understand people, the more you can help them. A Houston resident for over two decades, I retained a wealth of knowledge regarding property for sale in and around the Heights, Katy, Pearland, Spring Branch, and Richmond. My comprehensive understanding of how businesses work stems from a degree in business management and a broad professional background that reinforced the core values of honesty and integrity. As a real estate agent, I would rather lose and do the right thing than win by doing the wrong things. Whether I am working with lenders or title companies, relationship building is another one of my priorities in this business.

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Turning your Dreams into an Address

Buying a home is an exciting but often overwhelming experience, particularly if you are buying your first home. As your REALTOR�, we can help you through the home buying process and assure that you find the right home for you, at the right price for you. Every homebuyer has a number of concerns, all of which we can help you with:

Setting a Time Frame There are a lot of variables in the home-buying process, which means the time it takes to find and buy your new home varies too. A typical home search process may take three to four months, including the mortgage approval process, comparing and evaluating properties, making an offer and the closing process. The loan process typically takes 40-60 days.

The Lending Process Perhaps one of the most intimidating aspects of buying a home is the mortgage approval process. We'll be here to help guide you through this, but there are many ways you can prepare early to make the process smoother. Start by making sure your budget is under control--make a list of all your monthly expenses, compare it with your income, and see if adjustments need to be made. You should also try to pay off small credit card balances. Start gathering documents you may need, such as W-2 forms, income taxreturns for the past few years, pay stubs, records of child support or alimony, bank statements for the past several months, and your credit report. Also, be sure to allow for closing costs. Getting several offers will allow you to compare loans and get the best deal.

Determining How Much You Can Afford A general guideline to consider is that most buyers purchase a home that costs about one and a half to two and half times their current annual income. For example, someone earning $50,000 a year might purchase a home for $75,000 to $125,000. Mortgage payments should be about 26-28 percent of your gross monthly income. Existing debt is also considered in the mortgage process, and total debt payments (car payments, credit cards, student loans, etc.) should not exceed 40 percent of your gross monthly income.

Finding a Home That Meets Your Needs and Wants Before you start looking at properties, make a list of "must-have" features along with optional features you'd like to have. "Must-have" features may include the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you'll need to accommodate your family, location (consider commute to work, which schools your children will attend, etc.), lot size and special needs (handicapped access, etc.). Optional features may include the architectural styling, bay windows, landscaping, etc. Having a clear idea of what you want in a home will help your REALTOR� find the perfect property for you.

Educating yourself about the home-buying process is key to getting a home you love and can afford. As your REALTOR�, we are here to answer any questions you might have and guide you through this process.

Selling your home involves much more than just placing a "For Sale" sign in your yard and going to the closing. As a REALTOR�, we are here to help you prepare your home for sale, market your home, and guide you through the sale process to ensure you sell your home within your time frame and get the best price possible

As your REALTOR�, we will determine the correct price range for your home, point out things you should do to make your home more appealing to buyers, and devise the most effective plan of action. Here are some of the steps we will take to sell your home:

• Review the selling process--without the technical jargon • Perform a comparative market analysis • Determine the list and target prices • Market your property • Keep communication open • Present the purchase agreement

Factors That Affect Your Home's Sale There are three main factors that determine how marketable your home--price, financing, and time.

Price - If your home is priced too high, you must be willing to wait much longer for your home to sell. Either it will take that much longer to find someone to pay more than the home is worth, or the market will eventually catch up to the asking price of the home through inflation.

Financing - You may not realize it, but the financing of your buyer can have a tremendous impact on the success of selling your home. Try to offer very attractive financing options. Consider carrying the financing yourself at a below-market interest rate or preparing your home for government financing. This could open the door for many buyers that otherwise wouldn't even consider your home. Time - If your time frame is important then you must be willing to lower the price.
