Helping others find their new home is a huge responsibility and one that I don't take lightly. Real estate is an investment. When shopping for a new home, I take pride in advising my clients based on their personal goals and expected outcomes. While no real estate agent can predict everything that could happen in a home, I can spot things that other agents may not be able to. I grew up with a father in the HVAC field, and he did a lot of construction on the weekends. I learned things to look for and any hidden damages. Choosing me to help you purchase your next home just makes sense.

I moved to the Des Moines area in 2016 from North Carolina. Since living here I have tried my best to embrace it and make it home. As a veteran and mom to four I understand that buying a home is a precious investment and can be one of the most stressful occasions. I make it my job to help lighten the stress by guiding you through the process. I look forward to hearing from you when you are ready to make that move!

I love helping people buy and sell real estate and I love running my own business and meeting new people. I earned my license in 1993 and have been a full-time Realtor since. Real estate is a service business. I am here to share my years of experience and knowledge to help my clients weave thru the legalities, negotiations, current market conditions, and what makes a great home to buy and how a home will sell quickly and for the most money. I have been so blessed to have worked for many clients that I now consider friends. They truly are my definition of success. Personally, I was born and raised in Des Moines. After living in Los Angeles and Seattle for a number of years, I moved back home to help my aging parents. It was a very blessed circle of life decision and one that I will never regret. I stumbled upon real estate and realized this was the perfect career for me. My business was mine to create, I could be very successful, or not so much. The decision was mine to make. I have been extremely blessed with this wonderful career that I work as a business and treat as my family. I love this quote: "The harder you work, the luckier you get." Very true indeed. My favorites things to do when not working? Traveling, cooking, any and all outdoor sports and watching my daughter show her Arabian horses nationally!

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Increases livable area and enhances aesthetic, often boosting property appeal.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

Having a garage can increase the value of your home considerably, even if the garage isn't considered living space. Many people own cars and want a secure place to park their vehicles when they are home. 

If you decide to finish your garage and convert it into living space, you may affect your home's value. The livable space may increase your home's square footage, which can help its value. But, giving up the garage space may also negatively affect the sale price of your home.

You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development.

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.
