Bring your real estate vision to life.
For Buyers
The home buying process can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. My job is to make sure your home buying journey is as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Wondering how it works? Here’s a brief overview…
1. Understanding Your Needs — We’ll meet to discuss the specifics of what you’re looking for in a home. I’ll create your custom home search in MIBOR, the most trusted source for Central Indiana listings, so you can check out listings that match your unique criteria as soon as they go live.
2. Touring Homes — We’ll hunt for your dream home as long as it takes for you to fall in love. We’ll tour homes in person by scheduling showings at any of the homes you want to see. This is always a learning process and a lot of fun to do together.
3. Making an Offer — Prior to submitting an offer, I’ll analyze comparative market data to inform our position and ensure you feel confident with our approach. When we’re ready to submit, I’ll walk you through all the details, key elements, and documents involved in creating the contract.
4. Going Under Contract — Coming to an agreement on the offer is just one step of many on the road to closing a home transaction. I’ll be there to support you through the inspection negotiations, home appraisal, title work, and any other issues that might arise while under contract.
5. Closing — I’ll be right by your side at the closing table on the day you become a new homeowner. Now it’s time to celebrate. Congrats!

For Sellers
When the time comes to sell your home, you want to feel confident that you’re in skilled and trustworthy hands. Here’s a brief overview of what it looks like when you partner with me and the experts at The Clayton Team to list and market your home…
1. Preparing to list — Before listing, I’ll preview your home in-person. We’ll talk about the cost-benefit of any upgrades you might want to tackle and discuss your ideal timeline. The main goal is to determine what needs to be done to really make your home shine for potential buyers.
2. Setting a competitive price — Determining an expert list price is key when it comes to sales strategy. I’ll dive deep into local market data and the current competitive landscape to set you up for success from the get-go.
3. Marketing and promoting — Creative marketing is one of the top skills I bring to the table. With my background in writing and content marketing, I have a deep knowledge of proven tactics and strategies, both in digital and traditional channels. From open houses to social media marketing, your listing will get the attention it deserves.
4. Showing off your home — It’s crucial to be show-ready when your home is active on the market. We’ll talk through the ins and outs of what that looks like for you and your family and how to make it work for your lifestyle. And to ensure potential buyers can envision themselves living in your home, I offer complimentary staging and professional photography for all of my sellers.
5. Negotiating through closing — Once you’ve accepted an offer on your home, there’s much more to be done before sitting down at the closing table. I’ll hold your best interests in mind as we go through the process of negotiations, the inspection, appraisal, title work, and anything else that might come up. Bottom line, I’ll be right by your side until the end.
