Why Work With Me

Beyond knowing the Upstate and its history, here's what you get when you buy or sell with me: programs that make selling and moving easier, marketing that gets your home seen, and a few extras I offer on my own.

eXp Ready: Prep Your Home for $0 Upfront

Selling a home that needs paint, repairs or staging? With eXp Ready, powered by Notable, you can get up to $50K to get your home in its best shape and pay it back when the home sells.1 I've completed the eXp Ready training, so I can walk you through it and help you decide which projects are worth doing before you list.

See What You Qualify For

1 Interest may apply. Loan eligibility is not guaranteed. Loan funds, interest, and fees are due twelve months after origination, upon the sale of your home, or upon acceleration, whichever occurs sooner. Subject to the terms of your loan agreement, and these terms and conditions (Notablehome.com/terms). Notable NMLS #1824748. An origination fee of $499 is deducted from available credit upon first draw and is only charged if loan funds are drawn.

2 Based on Notable data. Individual results may vary and are neither warrantied nor guaranteed.

I'll Pay for Your Move-In or Move-Out Clean

Buy or sell with me, and I'll pay for a professional move-in or move-out cleaning.

For every client who closes a home purchase or sale with me, I'll provide a complimentary move-in or move-out cleaning by Green Cleanville, an eco-conscious cleaning company here in the Upstate. Sellers can leave the house spotless for the new owners, and buyers can move into a clean home on day one.

Offer valid for new clients. Appointment subject to availability. Standard terms apply. Disclosure: I have a personal relationship with the owners of Green Cleanville. I receive no referral fee or compensation from them.

Selling? Get the Listing Prep Checklist

Green Cleanville's free room-by-room checklist covers what to declutter, clean and stage before listing day. Shared with their permission.

Curious What a Cash Offer Looks Like? ExpressOffers

Some sellers want a quick, simple sale. Through eXp's ExpressOffers platform, I can enter your home once and request preliminary cash offers from participating investors, often within minutes, so you can compare them side by side with a traditional listing. It's one more option on the table, and you decide which path makes sense.

Offers are preliminary and can change as more information comes in, and closing timelines vary by investor. A cash offer is not guaranteed.

Listing Marketing That Gets Your Home Seen

When I list your home, it gets the kind of marketing buyers stop scrolling for.

Professional photos
Professional photography through BetterHomePictures, so your home looks its best online, where buyers start their search.
Drone photos
Aerial photos through DroneThisHouse that show the lot, the neighborhood and what's nearby.
Virtual walkthroughs
A walkthrough buyers can take from anywhere, which helps out-of-state and relocating buyers fall in love before they visit.
Pricing data
HouseCanary property data alongside my own comparable sales analysis, so your list price is backed by numbers.
Showing coverage
ShowGo, eXp's platform for coordinating showings and open houses, helps make sure buyers can get into your home even when my schedule is full.

Hands-On Help, Not Just Paperwork

Buying or selling a home comes with a lot of physical work. I'm happy to roll up my sleeves.

Free trailer loans
I own two utility trailers, a 7x12 foot and a 6x9.5 foot, and I'll loan them to my clients for moving or junk removal, subject to availability.
Junk removal and hauling
Got things you don't want to take with you? I'll help haul them off.
Curb appeal
Fresh mulch, planting flowers and other quick outdoor touches that help a home make a great first impression in photos and showings.
A contractor's eye
I founded and still own a property rehab contracting company, so I know repairs, renovation work and what things really cost. I can spot issues, give you a realistic sense of the work involved, and help you figure out whether a project has enough ROI to be worth the time, effort and money before you invest in it.
Trusted contractors
I keep an extensive list of contractors and service providers for nearly any need, from plumbers and electricians to landscapers and handymen.

Help Getting Settled

Utility Connect
A free service for my clients that helps you shop for and set up internet, TV, home security and home warranty, and gives you the contacts for electric, gas, water and trash.
Moving to or from the Upstate
I can connect you with eXp-affiliated agents in other markets through eXp's referral network, so the home you're leaving and the one you're moving to are both in good hands.
Local know-how
My Relocation Guide, Neighborhoods page, and the Buyer and Seller FAQs, plus local guides to the area's history and events.
The story of your home
As The Realtorian, I can research your home's history, from the land before settlement to the chain of title. See House History Reports.
Plugged in from day one
I love sharing my favorite restaurants and things to do, and inviting clients to local history events, so you can feel part of the community right away.
A friend in the Upstate
Maybe the biggest perk of all: my clients tend to become my friends. If you're moving here, you won't be starting from a blank slate. You'll already have a friend in the Upstate.
