Hey there,

If you’re here, chances are you’re somewhere on the journey toward buying a home—or maybe just trying to wrap your head around how the whole process works. Either way, I’m really glad you found this. I wrote this book for you. Because you deserve someone who doesn’t just throw a stack of paperwork at you and wish you good luck. You deserve someone who’s ready to help make this process easier to understand, less stressful, and (dare I say it?) maybe even a little enjoyable.

Before I was an insurance agent here in Joplin, MO, I spent years working in the restaurant world. And if there’s one thing I learned back then, it’s that good service is about more than just getting the job done—it’s about how you take care of people along the way.

I love working with great realtors and lenders—they’re an important part of your homebuying team. But my favorite part of this work is getting to build real relationships with the people I serve. The homeowners. The families. The folks who trust me not just to sell them a policy, but to help them protect what matters most.

This little book is my way of sitting down across the table with you and saying, “Here’s what you need to know. Here’s how we make this simple.” No jargon. No pressure. Just real talk from someone who genuinely cares.

If you’re ready to feel a little more confident about your next steps—and get a free checklist that helps you stay on track—I’d love for you to download the book.

Thanks for being here. I hope this helps.
