How Buying a HomeIn Bend Works With Me.
A clear, guided path from first conversation to keys — part of my Aligned Move plan, built around exactly how you want to live in Bend.
Let's Talk & Know Your Buying Power
We start with a real conversation about your goals and timeline. I connect you with trusted local mortgage brokers to interview so you know your buying power and loan options before we shop.
Complete your Buyer Profile Form →Your Bend Wish List
We sit down and prioritize your top wishes, needs, and passions — bedrooms and baths, single-level or a big level yard, walkable to restaurants, a specific neighborhood — so your search is dialed in from day one.
Your Guided Home Search
I set up a custom search tuned to your criteria and keep you updated the moment a home fits. Beyond the MLS, I hunt off-market through personal neighborhood letters, agent relationships, and builder connections — so you see homes for sale in Bend that other buyers never do.
Browse Bend homes for sale →Neighborhood & Home Tours
I build you a personalized Bend Tour Day — a mapped itinerary of homes with what to love and what to watch on each. Not in Bend yet? I tour for you with FaceTime walkthroughs and filmed videos, flagging inspection concerns before you write an offer.
Explore Bend neighborhoods →Offer, Negotiation & a Construction Eye
When we find the one, I review every pro and con and build the offer strategy. As a second-generation agent and builder's daughter, I evaluate a home for what it really is and negotiate from knowledge, not guesswork — which is how my buyers average $17,875 in savings.
Inspections, New Construction & Contingencies
I attend every inspection personally and I'll crawl under a house with the inspector. I know what to look for in new construction and custom builds, and I manage your loan, appraisal, and inspection contingencies so you're protected at every step.
Closing & Welcome to Bend
I give you a clear calendar and walk you through closing so you always know what's next. Then the fun part — I love dropping off pizza or tacos the day your movers arrive, and I stay in your corner long after closing.
I Read the Build,Not Just the Finishes.
Construction Eye
Raised in new construction and development. I catch build and inspection issues most agents miss.
Off-Market Access
Personal neighborhood letters, agent relationships, and builder connections surface homes before they list.
Fiduciary First
Your interests come first, every step — advocacy clients say exceeds what they'd do for themselves.
