What Ava's Clients Say

“Ava and team were absolutely amazing. She was super responsive, brought several plans and stayed on top of the process the whole time. Her planning, photos, video and marketing was top notch. Because of all this she was able to get the house under contract in under 48 hours with several contracts to choose from and over asking.

Ava truly cared about helping me above all else. She always had the answers and expert guidance when I needed it. I knew whatever choice I made she had my back.

Jess Horning

“I can honestly say that I’d still be renting if it wasn’t for Ava. She really goes above and beyond for her clients and pointed out issues with homes that I would not have caught—showing that she truly cares about finding the right home and not the commission. You will not regret having her as your agent.”

List your must-have features, ideal location, and budget. Consider commute, schools, and neighborhood safety to ensure your new home fits your lifestyle and goals.
Work with your agent to submit a competitive offer. Expect possible counteroffers, negotiate smartly, and provide an earnest deposit to confirm your genuine intent.
