About
I am an Atlanta native, a REALTOR® with more than a decade in this business, and before that I spent five years as a labor and postpartum doula. That second part is not a piece of trivia on my bio. It is where most of how I run a transaction actually came from.
Come as you are. Come on home.
Atlanta
I grew up in East Point, and I have lived on both sides of the perimeter since, including a stretch in the northern suburbs. I have been in Edgewood since 2016. That matters less as a biography detail than as a working advantage. When a client is weighing intown against a suburb, I have actually lived the trade-off rather than read about it.
Metro Atlanta is a collection of markets that behave differently from one another, sometimes within a couple of miles. Knowing how they differ, and being honest about which one fits a particular person, is most of what I do before anyone tours a house.
Earlier in my career I worked on a team, with stretches where I was closing forty to fifty homes a year. What I run now is deliberately smaller and grows mostly through repeat clients and referrals, which means the way a transaction is handled matters more to me than how many of them I can stack in a year.
Seven consecutive years as an Atlanta REALTORS® Top Producer, and more than fifty million dollars in career sales. Those are the numbers. The rest of this page is about the part the numbers do not explain.
What came before
I did not arrive at real estate in a straight line, and the detours turned out to be the useful part. Here is what each one actually contributes on a Tuesday afternoon when a deal is coming apart.
Where all of it lands is ordinary real estate work done carefully: pricing and comparable sales analysis, offer strategy, negotiation on repairs and terms, and telling a client what I actually see. None of that gets softer because of where I came from. It gets more deliberate.
The doula of Atlanta real estate
A doula does not deliver the baby. A doula prepares the person, explains what is happening, advocates for them in the room, and stays present through the parts that are hard. The medical decisions stay with the family. That structure, not the subject matter, is what carried over.
I am not going to stretch that comparison, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. What the two have in common is narrower and more useful: both are major transitions where someone has to make consequential decisions with incomplete information, on a timeline they do not fully control.
Understand the person before advising them. Educate them to the level they actually want. Prepare them for the version of the plan that does not go smoothly. Stay steady when it gets difficult, and hand the decision back to them every time.
Support and strategy are not opposites. I still run the comparable sales, still tell you when the number does not hold up, and still negotiate hard on your behalf. Being calm about it is not the same as being passive about it.
The approach
These are not a program I sell or a system with a trademark. They are how I actually work, written down so you can decide whether it is how you want to be worked with.
Before we begin
My doula work started with a conversation about whether the relationship felt right, for both of us. Real estate deserves the same opening.
A consultation is not only about the house, the price and the timeline. It is also where we find out whether my communication style and my approach are what you want next to you for the next several months. If the answer is no, that is useful information and there is no hard feeling in it.
As a doula I learned the mother, the partner, the fears, the knowledge and the goals before I decided how to support any of it. Same order here.
I want to know what you are actually trying to accomplish, what you already understand, what worries you, what you expect from me, what disappointed you in a past transaction, who else is part of this decision, and what a good outcome looks like in your words rather than mine.
Most excited about. Expectations. Disappointments. Concerns. Four questions that anchor a consultation, and the answers shape everything after them.
A search or a pricing strategy built on the wrong understanding of the person is going to feel wrong for months before anyone can say why.
Not everyone wants the same information or the same amount of it. Some clients want the full analysis. Some want the recommendation and the reasoning in three sentences. Both are fine, and I would rather ask than assume.
Financing options, market context, area comparisons, contracts, what inspections cover, and the specialists worth bringing in.
Pricing analysis, preparation recommendations, market education, net proceeds, buyer behavior, and the vendors who do good work.
Through the transaction
As a doula I prepared people for the experience they wanted and, at the same time, for the possibility that it would not follow the plan. Both preparations mattered, and the second one was the reason the first did not fall apart.
Buyers get a search and offer strategy, plus a clear picture of what competition, an inspection, an appraisal or a financing change might do to it. Sellers get a pricing and marketing strategy, plus an honest preview of buyer feedback, shifting conditions, negotiation and delay.
Changing the plan is not the same as losing the goal. Most of the stress in a transaction comes from confusing the two.
When something moves, we adjust the route and keep the destination. You will usually hear from me with the adjustment already thought through.
Making the plan is the easy half. What I am actually for is the part where the plan gets difficult.
A rejected offer, an inspection report that reads worse than it is, an appraisal that comes in low, a contract problem, or two people in the same household wanting different things.
Quiet first weeks, feedback that stings, an offer that arrives with unexpected terms, an inspection negotiation, an appraisal issue, or a closing that slips.
A large part of doula work is helping someone understand that they have choices, and then backing them while they ask for what they want. That principle sits at the center of how I practice.
I advise. I analyze. I explain. I negotiate. I tell you what I see, including when the numbers do not support what you were hoping to hear. What I do not do is make the decision for you. My job is to get you to the point where you understand the options, the risks and the likely consequences well enough to choose for yourself.
There were moments in the birth room where the only useful thing I could do was bring everything back down to the next breath. Real estate produces its own version of that moment.
A transaction might have twenty pieces in motion. You do not need to be carrying all twenty in your head at once. So when there is too much of it at once, I do the same thing I did then, which is narrow it down to the next thing.
Here’s what matters right now. Here’s the decision we need to make next.
After the keys
Postpartum work did not stop when the baby arrived. The support changed shape according to what the family needed next. Closing works the same way.
You are a homeowner now, which brings vendors, repairs, warranty questions, improvement decisions and things nobody told you about until you owned them.
You may still be moving, buying again, tying off loose ends, or working out what the next season actually looks like.
Part of my doula work was returning after the birth to help a family make sense of the experience they had just had. I do a version of that after closing.
Questions tend to surface once the pressure is off and you have lived in the thing for a few weeks. Closing is not the moment I disappear.
Real estate needs move over time. A first-time buyer becomes a homeowner. A homeowner needs a contractor. A family outgrows a house. Someone inherits a property. A former seller moves back to Atlanta. A client starts thinking about an investment.
I would rather be the person you text five years from now than the person who sold you a house once.
The thread through all ten
In the birth room, my job included keeping hold of information during the stretches when the person in front of me could not take in everything happening around her. She did not need to. That was the arrangement.
In a transaction, it means I am tracking the strategy, the decisions already made, the deadlines, the concerns you raised three weeks ago, the conversations with the other side and the pieces still in motion. You get the part you need, when you need it. You do not have to keep the entire transaction in your head to stay informed and involved.
The tagline
It is on everything I put out, so it is worth saying plainly what it means. It is not decoration. It describes the two ends of the same working relationship.
You do not have to arrive prepared, fully informed or certain about every decision before we talk. You might have questions you think are basic. You might be carrying a bad experience with an agent from last time. You might be excited and nervous in the same sentence. You might know exactly what you want, or you might be still working that out.
All of that is a normal place to start, and it is where I start with you.
Home here means more than a house you purchase. It might be buying your first one. It might be selling because life changed. It might be relocating to Atlanta from somewhere you have outgrown, or moving into a different season, or simply finding the thing that works next.
The destination is yours to define. My part is helping you get there with your eyes open.

Let’s talk strategy
A consultation is a conversation, and part of what we’re deciding is whether this is a good fit in both directions. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk.
