We just sold 18.87 acres on Boy Scout Road in Oakland, Maryland, for $525,000. Our team represented the seller, secured a contract within our first week of marketing, and closed in just 27 days! 

I am proud of this result, but what means the most is the trust behind it. The seller had owned this beautiful property for more than 20 years. Being asked to help with a transaction of that size—and a property held for that long—is a responsibility I take seriously.

A Fresh Marketing Plan for a Long-Held Property

The property had previously been listed with another Realtor. After that listing expired, the seller called me. We reviewed ideas, talked through the property and the local market, and put together a marketing plan.

With a contract in the first week and a closing in 27 days, I am proud of what my team and I accomplished. Thank you to our seller for giving us the opportunity and trusting our approach.

Local Experience Makes a Difference

I have been selling real estate full time around Deep Creek Lake for more than 20 years. For over a decade, I have been the area’s top-selling Realtor, with nearly $1 billion in career sales. I am proud of those accomplishments and of the team that helps make our work possible.

What I enjoy most is putting that experience to work for people: understanding their goals, knowing the area, and helping them make informed decisions. I live here, know this market, and love what I do.

For this seller, our work began with a conversation and a fresh plan. If you are considering a sale—including a property that was previously on the market—I would be happy to talk through your options.
