Buy and Sell a Home-
Without The Stress
With 23 years of experience and over 700 homes sold, I help Lincoln and Omaha homeowners coordinate selling, buying, and financing with one clear, strategic plan.
Why Buying & Selling At the Same Time Feels Overwhelming
Most Homeowners Struggle because everything has to line up perfectly. Situations will develop and its important to have a seasoned pro like myself in your corner to help guide you along the way!
Sell/Buy Timing
Sell before you find a new house or sell first than find your new home?
Home Prep
Not knowing what repairs matter to a new buyer and over improving your home and wasting time and money.
What Type of Loan?
What is the best type of loan that you should use to do this? Best cost options that minimize exposure for you.
Loss of Control
You don't have a clear timeline or single source of truth. You're constantly chasing updates, wondering what's happening next, and feeling like you're reacting instead of leading the process.
These aren't separate problems—they're interconnected.
What you need is a single coordinated system that manages all moving pieces simultaneously, keeping everyone aligned and on schedule.
