Ask Jess
01Where do I start if I want to buy a home?

With pre-approval. Know your real number before you fall for a house. Then we talk about how you live and which towns fit, and I set up a search around that.

02What do you charge buyers?

Let’s talk about it in our first call. How buyer agents get paid changed in 2024, and I walk every buyer through it in plain words before they sign anything.

03How do I win an offer without overpaying?

Price is only one part of it. I build the price, the terms and the timing around what homes are actually selling for in that town, and I tell you when a house isn’t worth chasing.

04How long do I have to inspect a home?

The inspection period in a Rhode Island contract is typically 10 days, not counting weekends or federal holidays. Other dates start running once your offer is accepted, so I track every one of them with you.

05I’m moving from out of state. Can you still help?

Yes, that’s a big part of what I do. Start with the Rhode Island Town Quiz, then we talk through your shortlist and I tell you what each town is really like. I’m also licensed in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

06Which areas do you cover?

All of Rhode Island, with most of my work in Providence, Cranston, Warwick, East Greenwich, Barrington, Newport, Narragansett, Middletown, Cumberland and Lincoln.
