See what your money actually buys in the greater Dayton area.

Advice built on the numbers, the local market and what happens after you close.

Let's talk

Real estate is a financial decision. It should be treated like one.

I worked in banking before I sold a single house, so financing, cash flow and what a lender reads on your file are second nature. I also buy, renovate and sell houses in Dayton myself, which means I look at every deal the way an investor does: what it costs to hold, what it costs to fix, what it will be worth.

The approach

  • Real numbers

    Comps, the tax bill, the monthly payment and what the house should resell for, pulled before you offer.

  • Straight answers

    If the house is overpriced, the repair is a waste or backing out is the better move, I say so.

  • Smarter moves

    Strategy past the transaction: what you can comfortably carry, how to position a sale, and what happens after closing.

Sometimes the smart move is buying this spring. Sometimes it is selling the rental this year. Sometimes it is doing neither yet and spending twelve months on your credit first. The whole approach is the same math either way, and the same answer even when it does not end in a commission.

Homeownership starts before the house hunt.

Homeward is free one on one coaching for anyone who wants to buy and is not ready yet: a written plan for your credit, savings and debt, and a check in every month. There is also a free one hour Homeward class at Dayton Metro Library.

Same metro, different tax rate at every city line.

I work across the greater Dayton area: Dayton itself, Miamisburg, Springboro, Centerville, Kettering, Beavercreek, Englewood and Vandalia, plus Oakwood, Bellbrook and Troy. Each community page carries the same facts: the county, the effective property tax rate, the housing styles and the drive to downtown Dayton and Wright-Patterson. No rankings. If your town is not listed, ask. I likely work there too.
