Straight answers before you buy or sell.
Ten years, 257+ closed homes, and the same approach every time: tell people the truth, even when it costs me the deal. These guides cover what my clients ask most, whether you're buying your first home in Sparks, downsizing in Reno, or settling an estate.
Buying a Home in Reno
What the Reno buying process actually looks like — financing, touring, offers, inspections and closing.
Sell Your Home
A pricing and preparation plan built on real comparable sales — plus a free, no-obligation home valuation.
Relocating to Reno
Moving to Northern Nevada from out of state — neighborhoods, taxes, commutes and how to buy from a distance.
First-Time Home Buyers
Down payments, loan types, assistance programs and what the first purchase actually costs in Northern Nevada.
Buying a Larger Home
Selling your current home and buying a bigger one — how to sequence it without owning two houses or none.
Downsizing
Selling the family home and moving to something simpler — timing, equity, and a move handled with patience.
Probate & Inherited Property
Selling an inherited home in Washoe, Douglas, Carson or Lyon County — handled by a Certified Probate Specialist.
