Frequently Asked Questions

What Areas Do You Serve? I am based in the West Atlanta, GA area, I can help buyers within a 2 hour radius of Atlanta. For sellers, I serve the entire state of GA and TN.

Can you help someone outside of your “area”? If I don’t serve your area.. the chances are high that I have connections with an excellent agent in your area that can help you. I have made connections with agents in almost every state in the country. I don’t mind playing match-maker and connecting you with someone else if I cannot help you due to distance.

How much do you charge for your services? As a buyer, representation is available to you at no out-of-pocket cost in most situations — we'll discuss how compensation works before we get started so there are zero surprises. As a seller, commission is based on your specific situation and we'll talk through it honestly before you sign anything. I don't believe in hidden fees or last-minute surprises.

How long before I’m ready to buy or sell should I contact you? 3-6 months is the short answer. I would advise talking to a realtor as soon as possible of there’s an option you may be making a change in your living situation in the next year. The more prepared you are, the more you’ll save time and money in your transaction.

What’s the first step when buying a home? The first step I’d recommend taking is narrowing in on the area you’d like to be in, and talking with a lender to determine your budget. I am happy to send you my free buyer’s guide if you request this, and it’ll give you some great insight on getting started and what to expect.

What is the first step in selling my home? When sellers contact me, the first thing we do is jump on a phone call to discuss the timeline and process. From there, I will run number to establish market value. I like to have expectations set before I even step foot on your property. I also have a thorough/free seller’s guide that I can send to anyone that requests this from me.

What is the first step to get into real estate investing? I would recommend a new investor save $10,000-20,000 of useable cash to begin. I have several options for people who would like to invest in physical property, or partner together with other investors who can do the “work” on your behalf and you receive interest/ profit splits.

Is it better to buy or sell first? This answer depends on the current real estate market, your area, and situation. I would be happy to discuss this with you over a phone call or coffee whenever you are ready.

Do I need to be pre-approved before we start looking? Yes — and here's why it helps YOU. A pre-approval tells us exactly what you can afford, makes your offer stronger in a competitive market, and means we're not wasting time on homes outside your budget. I can connect you with trusted lenders if you need a starting point that won’t obligate you to anything.

How long does it take to buy or sell a home? It varies, but most transactions take an average of 30 days from accepted offer to closing. The search process before that depends on the market and how clear you are on what you want — another reason I like to have a real conversation before we start!
