No, and honestly, that's kind of the whole point! The traditional path to buying a home was designed for people who already have money and perfect credit. Creative financing strategies like seller financing and subject-to investing exist specifically to get around those gatekeepers. Bad credit after the pandemic? I've been there and it’s not the roadblock you might think it is! Let's talk.

If you're a woman in Tacoma or Pierce County who is done renting, done settling, and ready to start building something real for your family; I built my business to advocate for you! You don't need experience. You need someone who can break this down in plain English and make sure nobody takes advantage of you along the way.

A regular real estate agent in Pierce County shows you what's on the market and collects a commission. I'm also a licensed agent but I go way beyond that. I track down off-market deals, negotiate wholesaler fees down, walk through the properties you don't want to walk through, connect with vetted contractors, inspectors and vendors to make sure you get the best deal possible. I'm an advocate first, an agent second.

Yes. Seller financing and subject-to investing are completely legal and have been used by wealthy investors for decades. The reason most people have never heard of them is because the people who benefit from you going through a bank don't want you to know they exist. I do and I have experience leveraging them for everyday women like you and me.

You're not alone and I hope you’re not beating yourself up for it either! The real estate investing industry is overrun with these sleaze balls. I lost $3,000 to a predatory course before I found the right mentor. It's one of the reasons I vet every wholesaler and every deal in my network so aggressively. I only want you to work with me when you’re confident it’s the right fit which is why I offer low-cost Ask Me Anything Calls so you can get your most urgent questions answered and get a taste of what it’s like to work with me without any long-term commitment.

I don’t just wait for the MLS to update. I use the professional strategies I mastered as an acquisitions manager; working with a curated list of wholesalers and direct-to-seller marketing to find deals other Pierce County agents can't.

A cloud on a title is a legal "mess" that says someone else might have a claim to the house. This is where people get screwed over in private deals. Part of my job is to be your "matchmaker" with the right title companies to make sure the property you buy is 100% yours with no surprise debt attached.

If they are spending more time making YouTube videos than doing actual transactions, be careful. Many "gurus" gatekeep information to sell you a $30,000 course. I believe that knowledge should be approachable, not a ransom. I’m here to be a connector and help you avoid the shady deals newbies often fall for.

You don't have to do it alone. My husband is a contractor, and I’ve spent years building a list of reliable people who won't overcharge you. We look for "good bones" so you aren't stuck with a money pit, and we plan your property’s evolution in stages that you can afford.
