How to Choose the Right Home Advisor (and Why It Matters More Than You Think)

Choosing a real estate advisor is kind of like choosing a hiking partner for a really long, really important trail. it’s not just about who knows the route—it’s about who you trust to walk with you, problem-solve on the fly, and actually make the journey better.

This isn’t just a financial transaction. buying or selling a home is personal, emotional, and—let’s be real—a little stressful at times. The right advisor will make things feel smoother. The wrong one? Well… let’s avoid that.

So how do you actually choose the right person to guide you? Here’s what matters—and how I approach it with every client I work with.

I always encourage people to choose an agent who listens more than they talk, who asks the right questions about your goals, your timeline, your non-negotiables—not just about square footage and price ranges. The best advisors aren’t just here to unlock doors or run comps. They’re here to guide you through a major chapter of your life with honesty, strategy, and care.

When I work with a client, I treat every decision like it’s my own. I’ll flag red flags you might not see, walk you through every line of the offer, and fight for your best outcome whether you’re buying your first home or selling the place you raised your kids.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
