Let’s keep it real: most agents only sell 1 to 3 homes a year—so every deal feels like a big deal… for them. And that’s when the pressure starts.

In this episode, we talk about commission breath (yup, it’s a thing) and how to spot the difference between real representation and an agent who’s just trying to cash a check.

I’m breaking down how I actually protect my buyers—from walking away when the inspection turns up red flags, to negotiating for credits that put thousands back in your pocket.

🎧 Press play to learn why buying a home should feel empowering—not like you’re being talked into something you’ll regret.

If you’ve ever been in escrow Googling words like contingency or earnest money at midnight… that’s a red flag, bestie. 🚩

In this episode, we’re calling out the agents who overcomplicate, under-explain, and just drop contracts in your inbox with a “Let me know if you have questions” vibe.

A real agent? They teach you.
They break things down.
They make sure you understand what you’re signing and why—so you don’t feel like you’re winging one of the biggest purchases of your life.

🎧 Press play to hear how I guide my clients through every step of the home-buying process—without the jargon, the pressure, or the guesswork.

Because you deserve to feel empowered, not confused.

Let’s be real—some agents are just there to collect a commission and crack open a lockbox. But you? You deserve more.

In this kickoff episode of the Buyers Deserve Better series, I’m breaking down why real buyer representation goes way beyond unlocking doors. From strategy and red flag spotting to fierce negotiation and real guidance, I’ll walk you through what your agent should be doing—and what I actually do to protect and empower my clients.

If you’re house hunting and feeling like your agent’s just tagging along for the ride, this one’s for you. 💥

🎧 Press play and learn how to spot “commission breath” from a mile away—and why having the right agent changes everything.
