I approach each client relationship with integrity, commitment to excellence, and a genuine desire to find the right fit for your specific needs. My goal is to make your buying or selling experience as smooth and successful as possible.

I primarily serve the beautiful Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area and surrounding communities.

The Coeur d'Alene market has seen strong demand in recent years due to our area's natural beauty, quality of life, and influx of remote workers. Market conditions can vary by neighborhood and price point, so I recommend we have a conversation about your specific situation. I monitor our market daily and can provide you with the most current analysis tailored to your needs.

Down payment requirements vary based on loan type, property, and your financial situation. While 20% down is traditional, many of my clients use programs requiring as little as 3-5% down. Some qualified buyers may access specialized programs with even lower down payments. I can connect you with trusted local lenders who can explain all your options and help you find the best fit for your financial situation.

Yes! I've helped many first-time homebuyers take advantage of Idaho's helpful programs, including the Idaho Housing and Finance Association's down payment and closing cost assistance. I can connect you with resources and lenders who specialize in these programs to help make your dream of homeownership a reality, even if you thought it might be out of reach.

Home values in Coeur d'Alene depend on location, size, condition, and current market conditions. I offer complimentary comparative market analyses for homeowners considering selling. This provides you with an accurate, data-driven valuation based on recent comparable sales and my expertise in the local market. I'd be happy to visit your home and provide a personalized assessment of its value in today's market.

Preparing your home effectively can significantly impact your sale price and time on market. I provide personalized advice for each property, but general recommendations I often share include:

• Decluttering and depersonalizing to help buyers envision themselves in the space
• Handling minor repairs and touch-ups that might distract buyers
• Enhancing curb appeal since first impressions matter enormously
• Professional cleaning to make everything shine
• Strategic staging to highlight your home's best features

When we work together, I'll create a customized preparation plan for your specific home.

I employ a comprehensive marketing approach for each home I list, including:

• Professional photography and possibly virtual tours to showcase your home beautifully online
• Strategic online listing placement across multiple platforms for maximum exposure
• Targeted social media marketing to reach potential buyers
• Networking with other local agents who might have the perfect buyer
• Leveraging CENTURY 21's national and global reach
• Hosting strategic open houses when appropriate
• Direct outreach to my database of potential buyers

My goal is to create maximum exposure and competition for your property to achieve the best possible price.

Market conditions, property condition, location, and pricing strategy all affect selling timelines. I can provide current average days-on-market statistics for your specific neighborhood and price point during your consultation. More importantly, I'll work with you to develop a timeline and strategy that aligns with your specific needs and goals.
