Picture this: Keys in hand to a home in Vienna with top-rated schools, a 25-minute Metro commute to Tysons, and a backyard your kids will love. You didn’t overpay—you beat out three other offers because your buyer’s agent knew exactly how to position your bid. That’s what winning looks like for buyers I work with across McLean, Reston, Herndon, and Centreville.

The Northern Virginia market is fiercely competitive. Homes in Fairfax County average just 9 days on market, and properties that linger past 21 days typically see a 3-5% reduction in sale price. With 68% of homes selling at or above asking, buyers without expert guidance often miss out and leave money on the table. The Silver Line expansion has driven prices up 15% in Reston and Herndon since 2022. Loudoun County’s top-rated schools create bidding wars in Ashburn and South Riding. Properties near Metro stations command $50-100K premiums. Without an agent who knows these dynamics intimately, you’re competing blindfolded.

This is exactly why the right agent makes all the difference.

How I Help You

Discovery Call—We discuss your must-haves, budget, and timeline. Need to be on the Orange Line? Want Fairfax County schools? I map it out.
Market Strategy—I identify neighborhoods where your criteria meets your budget. $600K in Loudoun looks different than $600K in Arlington.
Curated Search—No endless Zillow scrolling. I bring you 5-7 homes that actually fit, including off-market opportunities through my Keller Williams network.
Strategic Showings—We tour with purpose. I’ll point out what the listing doesn’t mention—like that the “quiet street” backs to I-66.
Winning Offer—In Northern Virginia’s competitive market, I craft offers that win. Escalation clauses, appraisal gaps, flexible closing—I know what works here.
Closing & Keys—I coordinate inspections (I know the best inspectors in Fairfax County), negotiate repairs, and get you to settlement day smoothly.
