Why First-Time Buyers Need a Dedicated Advocate

In fast-moving, affordable markets:

• Homes sell FAST

• Builder reps do not represent your interests

• Neighborhood quality varies block to block

• Hidden risk in inspections, HOAs, and contracts

I guide first-time buyers through:

• Community selection that fits future resale value

• Negotiation on price, terms, and builder incentives

• Full support from pre-approval to keys in hand

Your first purchase should build wealth — not stress.
