For Ingrid, real estate has never been just about buying and selling homes. It’s about helping people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives with confidence, compassion, and a plan.
With more than 25 years as an entrepreneur, Ingrid has built her career around one simple mission: helping people. That passion for service naturally led her into real estate, where she combines careful attention to detail with a genuine desire to understand each client’s unique goals.
Every buyer and seller has a different story, and Ingrid believes the best results come from listening before taking action.
She takes the time to understand what motivates her clients, carefully notes their needs and priorities, and develops a personalized strategy to help them achieve their goals.
“I enjoy helping buyers and sellers by really listening to why they want to buy or sell. Once I understand what’s important to them, I can create a game plan that brings everything together.”
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but Ingrid believes preparation makes all the difference.
Her advice is simple:
- Know what you can comfortably afford.
- Keep your credit in good standing.
- Understand the components of your mortgage.
- Avoid opening new lines of credit before purchasing.
- Research neighborhoods to find the best fit for your lifestyle and future goals.
She also encourages every first-time buyer to work with trusted professionals—including a HUD-certified housing counselor—to make informed decisions throughout the homebuying journey.
Ask Ingrid what sets her apart, and her answer comes quickly:
“I answer the phone.”
It may sound simple, but she believes communication is one of the most important parts of serving clients well.
“I’ve experienced situations where listing agents never answered when I was trying to schedule a showing. I never want my clients—or another agent—to feel that frustration. Being available matters.”
Combined with her love of working with people every day, that responsiveness has helped build lasting relationships and trust with her clients.
A Home That Changed a Family’s Life
One of Ingrid’s most meaningful experiences came while helping a mother find the right home for her family.
Her client needed a home that could comfortably accommodate her sons with special needs. After carefully searching, Ingrid found the perfect fit—a home with spacious bedrooms and a large kitchen that met the family’s needs.
“The excitement on her face was unforgettable. Even today, she still calls me to thank me for helping her find that home.”
For Ingrid, those moments are what make real estate so rewarding.
