Buyers

Finding your perfect Northern Neck home begins with having a true advocate in your corner. With 25 years of experience, I provide expert guidance tailored to your unique needs and budget, whether you’re searching for a cozy weekend retreat, a luxury waterfront estate, or your forever home.

Our journey together starts with understanding your dream. In our initial Zoom consultation, we’ll explore how you envision spending your time here – whether you’re an avid sailor needing the perfect hurricane hole for your boat, grandparents seeking a gentle beach for family gatherings, or weekend enthusiasts wanting to minimize drive time from Northern Virginia or DC.

What sets my approach apart is absolute transparency about both opportunities and challenges in each property. As a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Expert (CLHMS), I bring specialized knowledge in evaluating high-end properties and navigating complex transactions. My Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation equips me with deep understanding of the unique considerations for buyers planning their retirement or next chapter. And my Girls with Grit Buyer Advisory certification ensures you receive the highest level of advocacy throughout your home-buying journey.

When it comes to securing your dream home, I understand that successful negotiations go far beyond just price. By taking the time to understand your priorities – whether that’s utilizing contingency periods to accommodate specialized waterfront inspections, including specific waterfront accessories and dock equipment in the sale, or aligning the closing date with your relocation timeline – I can craft offers and negotiations that achieve what matters most to you.

This attention to your unique needs often makes the difference between a good deal and the right deal for your situation.

Throughout our search, I offer:

• Carefully curated property listings based on your specific needs
• Virtual home tours showing both advantages and potential concerns
• Personal property previews with detailed reports
• Strategic planning of in-person viewing days
• Guidance on short-term rental opportunities and regulations
• Partnership with a home concierge service that can check your property, adjust climate controls, and even stock your kitchen before your arrival
• A vetted vendor network for reliable property maintenance

While virtual tours and FaceTime previews are invaluable tools for our initial property exploration, I adapt the viewing process to match your needs and schedule. Many buyers start with remote viewings to narrow down their options, then plan an in-person visit to experience their favorites firsthand.

When you find ‘the one,’ I always encourage an in-person visit before making an offer – there’s simply no substitute for walking the property, feeling the breeze off the water, and truly experiencing what could be your future home. Throughout the process, I’m here to facilitate whatever combination of virtual and in-person viewings works best for you, ensuring you feel completely confident in your decision.

Whether you’re considering this as an investment opportunity, a vacation home, or a permanent residence, I’ll help you understand all aspects of Northern Neck property ownership. For those interested in offsetting costs, I can provide guidance on the growing short-term rental market and local regulations.

As part of a full-service brokerage with our own building division and property management team, I can offer unique insights into renovation potential and connect you with professional Airbnb management if desired. Combined with our home concierge services and vetted vendor network, we ensure that owning your Northern Neck property is seamless, even from afar.
