Let's Find Your Ideal Home!

And buy you a new lifestyle.

Jeannie's 4 Promises for Buyer Success

01 Knowledge

My job is to help you fully understand today’s market—what’s really happening with home values, interest rates and opportunities most buyers are missing. The more informed you are the more confident and prepared you’ll feel in every decision.

02 Source

Anyone can search online listings. I will find you the right home that matches your goals, in the ideal location and is positioned for negotiation. That includes off-market opportunities and homes with motivated sellers—giving you the edge other buyers don’t have.

03 Negotiate

My proven offer method—7 Elements of a Winning Offer—will not only get your offer accepted by the seller, but will also help us secure you the best deal possible. In a seller’s market where we would be competing with multiple offers, we will eliminate buyer competition. In a buyer’s market, it allows us to secure the best price and/or seller credits which we can use to get you below market interest rates.

04 Close

Once we’re under contract, I make sure you have a seamless process and nothing falls through the cracks. From inspections to timelines, to working closely with the #1 lender in Florida, I drive the entire process to the closing table—so you can move in, on time and stress-free.

First Time Home Buyer?

Buying your first home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I will help you choose areas in Delray Beach that match your lifestyle and budget, set up smart tours, and guide you from pre-approval to closing. We will explore the best down payment assistance and zero-down programs available, then craft a winning offer. With local knowledge and a clear plan, you will beat the competition and get the keys with confidence—whether it’s a walkable home near Atlantic Avenue, a beachside cottage, or a modern condo in Delray Beach.

Why Owning Is Better Than Renting

Save money and build wealth

It is less expensive to Own than to Rent, in most cases.
Fixed-rate mortgages can offer predictable monthly housing costs, helping you avoid rent increases (the average annual rent increase in South Florida is around 18%, making it difficult for renters to stay comfortably in one place).
Tax benefits (deduct mortgage interest & property taxes on your tax returns).
Start building wealth by attaching yourself to an asset that typically appreciates in value, builds equity, and increases your net worth over time.

Freedom and opportunities

More space for your family to grow, thrive, and feel a great sense of pride and accomplishment.
Control over your living space, with the ability to customize, make upgrades, and renovate without worrying about landlord restrictions.
Homes with a pool and/or front yard or garden (or simply making new friends) can be beneficial for your children's health and happiness.
Option to rent out your property or a single room for additional income.

Family security and stability

Live in a better school district and provide your children with access to higher-quality education.
Gain a sense of community and belonging as your family becomes part of a neighborhood and local culture.
Friendly neighbors can become close friends and a valuable support system when you need help.
Financial stability for your family. A home can be passed down to your heirs, providing a valuable asset and sense of family history and continuity.

Not In Your Ideal Home?

Ready to upgrade to your dream home? We can help you sell your current home and find the perfect new property to fit your evolving needs and lifestyle. We will work with you to understand your unique situation and goals, and develop a personalized plan to help you get top dollar for your current home. We’ll handle everything from staging and marketing your property to negotiating offers and closing the deal. Plus, we’ll use our extensive network and market knowledge to help you find the ideal new home that meets all your wants and needs.

If your current home no longer fits—more space, better amenities, different location—I will help you sell for top value and move seamlessly into a better fit. From pricing and staging to marketing, offers, and closing, you will have a clear plan and steady guidance. I will also tap my network to find your next home right here in Delray Beach.

Relocation Specialist (Moving to Florida)

Moving to a new area is easier with a local expert by your side. As a Delray Beach Relocation Specialist, I partner with local organizations and employers to help families settle quickly. From choosing neighborhoods near top schools to finding homes with easy commutes and beach or arts access, I offer step-by-step support. Expect clear communication, strong advocacy, and a confident closing in Delray Beach.

Relocation Specialist (Moving Out of Florida)

Moving to a new state or even a new country can be both exciting and overwhelming. When you partner with me, you will not just get a real estate agent in Delray Beach, FL. You will have a relocation specialist who cares about your entire journey, from selling your Delray Beach home smoothly to landing in your new home across the country or abroad.

A Stress-Free Sale in Florida

I’ll handle everything to get your Florida home sold: pricing it right, marketing it aggressively, coordinating inspections, navigating negotiations.
You’ll have a clear, realistic timeline so you know exactly when we need to hit milestones (staging, showings, contingencies, closing).
I’m always available. Your calls, texts, and questions matter.

Relocation Guidance Beyond the Sale

As your Delray Beach relocation specialist, I do not disappear once your home sale is complete.
I maintain a network of trusted agents across the United States and internationally.
If you’re relocating to a place I already know, I’ll introduce you to a vetted, high-quality real estate agent who aligns with your goals.
If I don’t already have someone in that area, I will interview multiple agents for you — checking track records, communication style, and client reviews — to find the agent who will serve you best.

Continuity, Care & Commitment

I see the big picture. It is not just about selling your Delray Beach home; it is about your next chapter in life.
I will stay involved during the transition, helping with referrals, checking in, and making sure your experience on the other end is just as smooth as it was here in Delray Beach.
When you choose me, you’re choosing a full-service partner. From the first showing to the final signature (and beyond), I’ll be with you every step of the way.
If I don’t already have someone in that area, I will interview multiple agents for you — checking track records, communication style, and client reviews — to find the agent who will serve you best.

Why This Matters

Relocating is more than a property transaction; it’s about moving your life. Having one trusted guide through both ends gives you:

Investment Properties

Ready to grow your portfolio? I will align properties with your strategy, analyze cash flow and ROI, and help you leverage investor loan programs, including options with little money down and no income verification. With market insights and skilled negotiation, you will make informed choices and pursue reliable returns in Delray Beach—popular for seasonal and annual rentals.

Winning In A Multiple Offer

Multiple offers can feel tough, especially against cash buyers, but there is a strategy to win. I have helped clients prevail in head to head situations with five, ten, even fifteen plus offers. We will tailor a competitive offer that respects your budget and speaks to the seller’s priorities, using my 7 Elements of a Winning Offer to strengthen your position and secure the home you love.

Are You Pre-Approved?

What does this mean?

Pre-approval is the first step, before home shopping. A lender reviews your pay stubs, tax returns, and credit to confirm what you can borrow. While some lenders take a week or two, our partner often delivers same-day pre-approvals in as little as 4 to 8 hours when documents are provided quickly. That speed helps you act fast on the right home in Delray Beach, FL.

The first step...

Pre-approval provides you with a clear picture of what you can afford and conveys to sellers that you’re a serious buyer who they can close a transaction with if they accept your offer. Pre-approval also expedites the process for closing on a loan and makes you a more attractive buyer for sellers who want a quick and efficient escrow, or who are dealing with an urgent matter requiring them to sell and move out ASAP.

Do Not make the mistake of pre-diagnosing yourself because you think you have bad credit or too much debt. Going through the pre-approval process allows our team to give you a roadmap to help you increase your score and put you on the right path to overcome such obstacles so you can ultimately improve your financial situation and buy your desired home sooner than later! Simply give me a call and my team and I will guide you through this entire process seamlessly.

What's the next step?

Call me so I can get a basic understanding of your situation. I will help you prepare for what to expect from the pre-approval process to the home buying process and answer any questions you may have.

What My Clients Say

These are real people and real reviews!
All can be verified on my Google, Zillow and Realtor.com profiles.

"If you are looking for a top notch real estate agent, look no further! Jeannie helped my husband and I purchase our forever home located two counties north, which is a little scary when leaving your comfort zone. From the get-go, she made us feel as though we were family. We felt so comfortable and she was always so organized and thorough providing not only details about each home we toured, but also details about the surrounding area and restaurants. She was always on call for us.....very communicative. She went above and beyond and when we needed to get things done on the seller side, she was there for us as well. She did the job of 2 realtors and always made us feel as though we were her only clients and put our needs first. I could not have asked for a better experience in purchasing our new home. She truly is the best and it is evident why she is ranked among the top 1% of realtors."
