Six years ago, someone trusted me to sell my very first home.

At the time, I knew I wanted to build a real estate business centered around working hard, being available, communicating with my clients, and making the buying and selling process as smooth as possible.

What I didn't know was where that first closing would lead.

Today, I'm celebrating six years in real estate, and looking back at the homes, clients, communities, and memories from those six years is pretty incredible.

6 Years By the Numbers

🏡 196 homes sold
📍 10 communities served
🔑 123 buyers helped
🏠 73 sellers helped
⭐ 112 five-star reviews
🚗 Countless miles driven

Every one of those numbers represents a person, a family, a move, a change, or a new chapter.

And that's the part of real estate I still enjoy the most.

From My First Sale to My Most Recent

I'll never forget my first home sold.

There's something different about that first transaction. You're putting everything you've learned into practice, handling all the moving pieces, and realizing that someone is trusting you with one of the biggest financial decisions they'll make.

Fast-forward six years and 196 homes later, and I still don't take that trust lightly.

I've learned a LOT since that first transaction, but the goal has remained pretty simple: take care of my clients and get the job done.

From Small Homes to BIG Homes

One of the things I love about looking back is seeing the variety of homes I've had the opportunity to sell.

I've represented some of the smallest homes on the market and some of the biggest homes.

Starter homes. New construction. Acreage. Custom homes. Investment properties. Move-up homes. Downsizing. First homes. Forever homes.

Every property is different, and every client has a different reason for making their move.

That's what keeps this business interesting.

123 Buyers Found Their Next Home 🔑

Over the past six years, I've had the opportunity to help 123 buyers purchase a home.

Some were buying their very first home.

Others were relocating, upsizing, downsizing, buying new construction, searching for more land, or simply looking for a home that better fit where life was taking them.

There's still something pretty great about handing someone the keys after weeks, or sometimes months, of searching.

73 Sellers Trusted Me With Their Home 🏠

I've also had 73 sellers trust me to market and sell their homes.

Selling isn't just putting a sign in the yard and waiting for an offer.

It's pricing, preparation, photography, marketing, showings, feedback, negotiations, inspections, appraisals, paperwork, problem-solving, and sometimes a whole lot happening behind the scenes.

My goal has always been to handle as much of that as possible so my clients can concentrate on what's next.

112 Five-Star Reviews ⭐

This may be one of the numbers I'm most proud of.

Over the past six years, clients have left 112 five-star reviews about their experience working with me.

Awards and sales numbers are great, but knowing that someone felt taken care of enough to recommend me to another buyer or seller means a lot.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review, send someone my way, tag me in a post, share my name, or call me when someone mentions they're thinking about moving.

10 Communities—and Countless Miles 🚗

Real estate has taken me all over the area.

I've now helped clients buy and sell homes across 10 different communities, with countless miles spent driving to listings, showings, inspections, walkthroughs, sign installations, open houses, closings, and the occasional "Can you go check something at the house?" request.

And yes…my vehicle basically doubles as a mobile real estate office at this point. 😂

Thank You for an Incredible Six Years

The houses make for great pictures, but the people behind them are what made these six years possible.

To the 196 buyers and sellers who trusted me with their move: thank you.

To the past clients who continue to send their friends and family my way: thank you.

To the lenders, title and escrow teams, inspectors, contractors, photographers, other agents, builders, and everyone else I've worked alongside: thank you.

And to everyone who follows along, shares my posts, comments, recommends me, or supports my business in some way—you've been part of this journey too.

I'm excited to see what year seven brings.
