I handle the offer, negotiation, inspections, and paperwork all the way through closing.
An agent who understands
what a home is worth
I run the numbers the way an investor does — comps, repair costs, resale and rental value — so you know what a home is really worth before you offer.
Seller financing, subject-to, and assumable loans aren't always available, but when they are they can change what you qualify for and what you pay. I know how to ask.
Through Merrill Capital's direct-to-seller work, some homes surface before they're listed. When one fits your goals, I'll show you — and disclose any interest I or Merrill Capital have in it.
Clear explanations, no jargon, and a plan from pre-approval to keys.
Buying a rental or a house-hack? I'll evaluate cash flow and exit options, not just curb appeal.
If a house is a bad deal, I'll tell you — even if it costs me a commission.
