Your move, your priorities

Good guidance.
Every step of the way.

Your timeline, your goals, your everyday life. That’s where we start—and what we keep coming back to.

01 / Sell

Make your next
move count.

A considered pricing strategy, thoughtful preparation, and a clear plan to show your home at its best.

  • Understand your goals and timing.
  • Review comparable sales and competing homes.
  • Prioritize preparation that makes sense.
  • Evaluate buyer feedback and adjust together.

  • Clarify your priorities before the search.
  • Consider budget, ongoing costs, and location.
  • Talk through each home’s tradeoffs.
  • Stay engaged from the offer through closing.
03 / Relocate

A fresh start.
A familiar feeling.

I’ve made the move to Houston myself. I understand the questions that come with building a life in a new city.

Explore relocation guidance
  • Start with your commute and daily routine.
  • Build a neighborhood shortlist together.
  • Discuss the questions a listing can’t answer.
  • Plan your search around your move.
Advocacy in practice

The details matter.
So does staying involved.

Two client experiences that show how I approach negotiations and the unexpected turns before closing.

Buyer story / Negotiation

The right home.
A better way forward.

An inspection uncovered significant issues. The seller initially agreed to repairs, then withdrew that agreement before closing. My client still wanted the home, so we needed another way to address the work.

I reopened the negotiation and secured seller concessions in place of the repairs.

The outcomeMy client closed on the home they wanted with several thousand dollars in seller concessions to help cover the work.

Seller story / Closing

A missed loan deadline.
A closing kept moving.

My seller was under contract when the buyer’s loan approval missed its deadline. I contacted the lender directly and followed up every day until the approval cleared.

After about a week of follow-up, the approval came through and we moved to closing.

The outcomeWe closed at the original contract price. My seller did not have to reduce the price or put the home back on the market.

Client experiences as shared by Vicky. Every transaction is different; outcomes are not guaranteed.

I see the life
behind the move.

When I moved from Las Vegas to Houston with my daughter, I was making the same decisions my clients face: where we would feel at home, what our mornings would look like, and how to make the next chapter work.

With more than 13 years in real estate and a background in luxury retail, I bring an eye for presentation, a personal approach to service, and a willingness to ask the questions that matter.

I’ll listen closely, give you an honest perspective, and stay involved through the details. You deserve to feel informed and cared for along the way.

Different neighborhoods.
Different ways to live.

EaDo, the Heights, River Oaks, and Montrose each have a distinct identity. Let’s compare the surroundings, home options, and everyday routines that matter to you.

01
A personal focus

EaDo / East Downtown

Just east of Downtown, EaDo brings together restaurants, public art, and stadium-day energy. Let’s explore how that urban setting fits your commute and day-to-day life.

02

The Heights

Northwest of Downtown, the Heights pairs historic neighborhood character with local shops and restaurants. We’ll consider the home and its immediate surroundings together.

03

River Oaks

Between Montrose and the Galleria area, River Oaks is known for its leafy residential setting. We’ll explore your priorities for the home, location, and nearby shopping and dining.

04

Montrose

West of Downtown, Montrose brings art, cafés, vintage shopping, and a lively dining scene together. Let’s look at how the neighborhood’s character fits the way you like to live.

Moving to Houston?

You don’t have
to figure it all
out alone.

A beautiful home is only part of the decision. These are a few of the conversations we’ll have before narrowing your search.

What will my regular Tuesday look like?

We’ll start with work, school routines, activities, and the places you expect to spend your time. Your everyday life helps shape the search.

What should I budget beyond the price?

We’ll discuss taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and potential upkeep, and identify the property-specific information to confirm before you decide.

How do I compare neighborhoods?

We’ll build a shortlist around your priorities and identify what to explore in person—from the commute to the feel of your immediate surroundings.

What if I’m still early in the process?

That’s a good time to talk. You don’t need a finished plan. A conversation about your timing, budget, and questions is enough to begin.

Let’s start with you
