The Playbook

What actually happens from the first call to your next deal.

01

We start with a real conversation

A call or video chat to talk through your buy box, timeline, and anything else I should know. You'll also get access to my personal Pittsburgh rental market pricing guide.

02

Your search is live within 48 hours

I set up an automated MLS search matched to your criteria, the same baseline search every realtor sets up. Consider this the floor, not the ceiling.

03

Then I go beyond the automated search

This is where it stops looking like a typical realtor search. Outside your automated feed, I personally comb through daily MLS updates and send you the properties that actually pencil against your buy box, so you're not the only one scraping through listings every morning.

04

See something you like? Just say the word

Reply "interested" to the email leads I send or send me a text. Or if you see a property you like send me a text, call, or email. From there I schedule the showing, walk the property myself, and record a full video walkthrough.

That's the whole ask.

05

The walkthrough lands in your inbox

You'll get the video link by text or YouTube, so you see exactly what I saw, whether you're down the street or across the country.

06

Let's build the offer

From here we get rolling on an offer, or if you want to dig deeper first, this is exactly where you pick my brain on underwriting.

07

You're covered through closing

From accepted offer to keys in hand, I help you navigate the entire closing process, backed by a referral network for anything and everything real estate touches: lenders, inspectors, contractors, attorneys.

08

Closing day isn't the finish line

If you're flipping or running a BRRRR, I'll keep you in the loop as your project progresses and help you sell at top dollar when it's time. I also help buy-and-hold and BRRRR clients get their properties leased.

09

Then we go after the next deal

My goal isn't to be the realtor you call once a decade when you buy a primary residence. It's to help you scale your portfolio and actually reach your financial goals, one deal at a time.

Anytime, no strings attached

Trying to confirm or nail down the numbers on a property? Just ask, and I'll run my personal underwriting on it. I underwrite conservatively, drilled down to true cash flow, not just NOI.
