Confidently navigate the Twin Cities South Metro home buying process with expert guidance, local market knowledge, and a strategy tailored to your family's goals.

Get Started

your south metro real estate agent

Buying a home, especially when you're moving up, is a big decision, and the agent you choose shapes the whole experience. My approach is education-led: I want you to understand every step and every document, so you're never nodding along to something you don't fully follow. You'll have an advocate who has walked this path personally — I've built a home, bought an investment property, and moved up with my own growing family — plus a depth of new-construction experience most agents simply don't have.

    We’ll talk through your goals, timeline, budget, and priorities so you know exactly what comes next.

    You’ll receive a printed buyer guide and trusted referrals for lenders, title, contractors, and other key partners.

    We’ll start looking at homes both on and off market, narrowing in on the best fit for your lifestyle and goals.

  • 4. Write a Winning Offer

    When you find the right home, we’ll create a smart, strategic offer designed to stand out while protecting your interests.

  • 5. Contract to Close

    From inspection and financing to final walkthrough and closing day, every detail is tracked so nothing falls through the cracks.

    Even after the keys are yours, I’m still here as your go-to resource for home questions, referrals, and future moves.

The Secret to Buying and Selling at the Same Time

Discover the strategies I use to help families coordinate both transactions with less stress, fewer surprises, and a clear plan from start to finish.

When Should You Start? First Steps for Buyers

A lot of buyers assume the first step is touring homes. The first step is a quick conversation. The earlier we connect, even months out, the more options you'll have. Especially if you're selling your current home and buying your next one at the same time. And if you're holding onto a low interest rate and nervous about giving it up, or simply wondering whether now is the right time, those are exactly the conversations I love having.

A Thank You for Frontline Families

If you or your spouse serves as police, fire, EMT, dispatch, or military, ask me about my Frontline Families program. At our local price points, the average buyer receives nearly $4,000 back in rebates and reduced fees at closing — through me and the lender and title partners I work with. It's my way of saying thank you for your service.

Buying a home in the south metro — frequently asked questions

  • Honestly, no. Real estate agents provide a service to help you navigate a legal process. If you feel like taking that on yourself, have at it! However, as the buyer, working with your own agent typically costs close-to-nothing. An agent protects your interests, negotiates on your behalf, and has experience leveraging the contract terms available to help you.

  • In short: connect with an agent and get pre-approved with a lender, set up a home search and schedule showings, write a strategic offer, complete inspection and financing, and close! I guide you through each step and make sure you understand every document.

  • It depends on your priorities — Lakeville, Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount, Prior Lake, and Elko New Market each have a distinct character, price point, and lifestyle. Click the city links above for more details or schedule a consult and I'll help match you to the right one.

  • We map out the timing that matches your priorities best. Whether that’s lining up closing dates so you don’t own 2 homes, allowing an overlap for a less stressful move, or selling one home before purchasing so you know exactly how your finances lay out. We’ll discuss the best option available to you at our consultation.

  • Absolutely — my education-led approach is built for buyers who want to understand every step, not just sign where they're told.

  • Not required but HIGHLY recommended. Having your own agent protects your interests when you're dealing directly with a builder, and new construction is my specialty.
