Renting with Confidence: Your Advocate in the Housing Search
Finding a rental should be a fair and transparent process. I work to ensure that happens by representing you throughout the entire rental search, helping you find a home that fits your needs while making sure your state-protected housing rights are upheld every step of the way.
I assist renters, voucher holders, and those exploring affordable housing options to make the process as smooth as possible. I also partner with nonprofits and housing organizations to connect you with resources, assistance programs, and legal protections that help make housing more accessible and stable.

Protecting Your Fair Housing Rights
Every renter deserves an equal opportunity to find housing. I ensure state and federal Fair Housing laws are upheld so that all applicants are treated professionally and respectfully throughout the leasing process.
