Listing Agent for Residential Homes in Appleton

I have worked with everyone from young couples to families who have lived in the same house for 40+ years. But here is what I have learned: the families who need the most support are usually the ones going through major life changes. As your Listing Agent for Residential Homes in the Fox Valley, I handle everything from strategic pricing to managing the emotional timeline of the sale.


Whether you own a historic home near Lawrence University or a ranch in Grand Chute, I protect your equity by helping you decide Whether to Renovate or Sell As-Is. We look at real data, not guesswork, to ensure your home stands out.


Real Estate Consultant in Appleton

Stop guessing at your equity. As a Real Estate Consultant in Appleton and the Fox Cities, I provide more than just automated estimates. I offer a comprehensive 48-Hour Home Valuation that analyzes local market conditions and recent comparable sales. Whether you need an Instant Home Value check for curiosity or a deep-dive Pre-Listing Price Review to plan your retirement transition, I provide the neutral data you need to make informed decisions.


Moving after decades in one home requires more than just a listing; it requires a team. I provide direct access to my vetted 'Baby Boomer Dream Team'—a network of estate attorneys, decluttering specialists, movers, and estate liquidators. We handle the heavy lifting of the home selling process, from sorting personal property to final clean-out. I coordinate the entire timeline, ensuring a seamless transition whether you are moving to a condo, a smaller single-story home, or an active adult community.


Not every home is market-ready, and that is okay. I specialize in helping clients Sell a Home As-Is and navigate difficult situations like Selling a Home After Divorce. If you are looking to stay local, I am an expert in Buying and Selling at the Same Time, managing the timing so you are never without a home. Contact me today for a Free Home Valuation to see exactly what your home is worth in the current Appleton real estate market.

Whether you are selling a property near Reid Golf Course or Erb Park, we provide access to immediate liquidity for sellers who need a guaranteed sale.


From Corporate & Employee Relocation Assistance to handling Distressed Property situations in neighborhoods like College Heights, we have the institutional resources to close on your timeline. Unlike algorithms that guess, we apply deep local knowledge—understanding everything from school districts to flood zones—to ensure a seamless transaction.
