Buying with Heart

The real estate experience is more than just buying a house - it's about seeing the entire journey, from aligning yourself with your heart's desire to finding a community that will allow your soul to thrive.

Buying a home is more than just a checklist. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms doesn’t automatically translate into the house of your dreams. I ask surprising and heart-forward questions to help buyers visualize how they want to use the space and live in their ideal home. This helps them define what is important to them so they can buy a home that best serves their lifestyle. 

I offer vision board exercises to help buyers tap into their intuition to see what their truest desires are (a large yard, walk-in-closet, a space for hosting family gatherings, etc.). 

For example, when someone tells me they want a home office, my response is:

  • What is your ideal home office setup?

  • Can it be a bedroom?

  • Can it be a basement?

  • Do you want it close to common living areas so you can oversee and manage the kids?

  • Do you want a completely separate space so there is distance from the family?

Finding a home is not a race. After each showing we will review the wish list and tweak as needed. It is important to me that we find the best home possible.
