Why I do this
I moved to Tampa Bay from Boise knowing almost no one. Now I help people find where they belong here.
I know how overwhelming it is to pick a neighborhood off a map, guess at flood zones, and trust a stranger with the biggest check you'll ever write. For the last 8 years I've been the person I wish I'd had: someone who tells you the truth, does the homework, and fights for you like it's her own money on the line.
I keep my client list small so you get me, not a team of strangers, from the first walkthrough to the day I hand you your keys. And probably a few texts after that, too.

For homeowners
Selling your home? Get top dollar without months of waiting.
Your home is likely your biggest asset. I treat the sale like a product launch: priced right from day one, marketed to the right buyers, and negotiated with real numbers, so you don't leave money on the table.

How I work

No jargon and no surprises. Here's exactly what working together looks like.
Step 1: Discovery call

You get: More money in your pocket

I track every deadline and handle the paperwork so nothing slips. You sign everything online.
You get: A stress-free finish

My promises
Six promises I make to every client.
Whether you are buying your first home or selling the one you raised your family in, this is exactly what you can expect from me. In writing, from day one.
You will always reach me, not an assistant.
Message me directly and hear back within the hour during the day, and by the next morning if it is late. Questions at 10pm are normal when you are making a big move.
I will tell you the truth, even when it costs me the sale.
If a home is overpriced, has a red flag, or simply is not right for you, you hear it from me first. My job is your best outcome, not the fastest closing.
I will negotiate like it is my own money.
Every offer and counteroffer is backed by real market data, so we push hard and stay realistic. No guessing and no inflated promises.
You will never wonder what is happening.
Every Friday you get a simple update covering showings, buyer feedback, new nearby sales, and exactly what happens next.
I will protect you from surprises.
I walk you through every document, deadline, and dollar before you sign. You will know your real costs up front, not at the closing table.
I will be here long after closing.
Need a contractor, a home value check, or advice a year from now? I am still your agent. The relationship does not end when you get the keys.
My no-pressure guarantee
If I ever fall short of these promises, tell me. If we are not the right fit, you can walk away from our agreement, no hard feelings and no fees.

“We'd been outbid four times with another agent. Taylor sat at our kitchen table, rewrote our whole strategy, and we were under contract in nine days. She felt like family by the end.”
Priya & Daniel R.First-time buyers, Seminole HeightsGoogle“She talked me out of listing in February and was right. We sold in May for $42k more than the first offer we would have taken.”
Margaret L.Sold after 31 years, Old Northeast St. PeteZillow“Relocating from Chicago, I couldn't be there for most showings. Taylor FaceTimed every room, every closet, and even pulled the flood zone maps for me before I asked.”

The other half of the team
Meet Tatum.
Tatum is my Cavalier King Charles and the reason I know every pet-friendly park, patio, and dog beach from Hyde Park to downtown St. Pete. She came along when I moved here from Boise, and she's been my co-pilot ever since.
If you have pets, I get it. I'll flag HOA pet rules, fenced yards, and nearby vets before you fall in love with a house that won't work for your family. All of it.

Questions
Answers before you ask
The questions homeowners ask me most, answered plainly.
What does it cost to work with you?
Buyers usually pay nothing out of pocket for my help. My fee is typically covered at closing, and we'll agree on the details in writing before we start, so nothing is a surprise. When you sell, my commission comes out of the sale at closing. I'll walk you through the exact numbers on our discovery call.
What happens on the discovery call?
It's a relaxed, 20-minute conversation. You tell me what you're hoping for, like your timeline, budget, and must-haves, and I'll share what the local market is doing right now. You'll leave with a clear next step, and there's no obligation to sign anything.
How do you decide what my home is worth?
I look at what similar homes nearby actually sold for recently, how long they took to sell, and what buyers are paying for features like yours. You get a price range backed by real sales, not a number picked to win your listing.
How long does it take to sell a home?
It depends on your neighborhood, price, and the season, but I'll show you how fast comparable homes are selling right now. Homes that are priced right, prepped well, and photographed professionally sell fastest, and I handle all three with you.
Can you help me buy and sell at the same time?
Yes. I'll plan the timing so you aren't paying two mortgages or stuck without a place to live. Depending on your situation, that might mean asking for extra time after closing or making your purchase depend on your sale.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we start looking?
It helps a lot. A pre-approval tells you your real budget and makes your offer stronger. If you don't have a lender yet, I can introduce you to trusted local lenders, and you can talk to more than one.
What if I'm moving to Tampa Bay from out of town?
I work with relocating buyers all the time. I can tour homes with you over video, share honest neighborhood breakdowns, and keep you updated at every step, so you can buy with confidence before you arrive.
Am I locked in if I book a call?
Not at all. A discovery call is just a conversation. If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you honestly and point you in a helpful direction.
Free discovery call
Let's map out your next move.
Book a free 20-minute discovery call. We'll talk about what you're looking for, what it really costs in today's market, and a game plan to get you there. No pitch, no pressure.
You'll leave the call knowing what homes like yours, or the ones you want, are actually selling for, an honest budget and timeline, and a clear plan for your next step, whether you work with me or not.
