When most people think of a Realtor, they picture someone focused on listings, negotiations, and contracts. But for me, real estate has always been about something deeper — understanding how homes are built, how they age, and how their design choices impact long-term value.
Before launching Regali Realty, I spent years in the construction world. I started out hands-on — working with tools, learning how homes come together piece by piece — and eventually co-founded a residential construction company focused on transforming living spaces. That journey taught me how to see homes differently, not just as properties, but as structures with stories, strengths, and potential.
Today, that construction background shapes how I serve my clients — and it’s what truly sets my approach apart.
1. I Help Clients See What Others Miss
When walking through a home with a client, I’m not just looking at paint colors and finishes. I’m noticing things that most people overlook: the quality of the framing, the age of the mechanical systems, signs of moisture, or the way light flows through a space.
For buyers, that means I can help them avoid costly surprises — the kind that only show up after closing. For sellers, it means I can identify opportunities to make small, strategic improvements that make a big difference in how their home shows and sells.
Understanding a property’s bones helps me guide my clients with confidence — because I know what’s behind the walls, not just what’s in front of the camera.
2. I See Homes as Investments, Not Just Addresses
My construction background also changed how I think about value. Every home has untapped potential, and smart upgrades — done at the right time and for the right reasons — can dramatically increase equity.
When advising clients, I focus on helping them make decisions that pay off, both now and in the future. That might mean suggesting which renovations will bring the highest return before listing, or helping a buyer see how a dated property could become a dream home with the right improvements.
Real estate and construction go hand in hand — and understanding both means I can help my clients build value, not just buy or sell property.
3. I Bridge the Gap Between Design and Real Estate
There’s a major advantage to having someone who understands both markets — the housing market and the renovation market.*
When clients ask questions like “Should I finish the basement before selling?” or “Is this kitchen remodel worth it?”, I can provide realistic answers based on construction costs, buyer trends, and comparable sales — not guesswork.
That combination of insight saves clients time, money, and stress. It turns what can be an emotional process into a smart, informed strategy.
4. I Treat Every Client Like a Long-Term Project
In construction, every project teaches you patience, communication, and accountability — skills that carry over perfectly into real estate.
I approach every client relationship like a project that deserves careful planning and follow-through. From our first conversation to closing (and long after), my goal is to make sure every decision feels informed and intentional.
For me, success isn’t just measured in transactions — it’s measured in trust, referrals, and homes that truly reflect the people who live in them.
Bringing It All Together
Launching Regali Realty was the natural next step — a way to bring my hands-on experience into the world of real estate and offer something different to homeowners, buyers, and investors.
If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or improving a home, and you want an honest perspective from someone who understands both the design and dollars behind every decision, I’d love to connect.
You deserve more than a Realtor who opens doors — you deserve one who understands how those doors were built.
