Vetted by Dave Ramsey's team · Certified financial coach
Most RamseyTrusted agents got the badge. I also went through Ramsey's Financial Coach Master Training, because I came to real estate from personal finance, not the other way around.
Why This Isn't Just A Badge
In 2018 my wife Ashley and I were about $250,000 in debt: student loans, credit cards, two cars, and the mortgage. We went through Financial Peace University together and followed the plan. Today all of it is paid off, including the house.
That's why I got certified through Ramsey Solutions' Financial Coach Master Training, and why I coordinate FPU classes locally for free. Then I got my real estate license, because a house is where most people's biggest money decisions get made.
So if you've read the books or been through FPU yourself, you already know what to expect from me. I'm going to ask about your numbers before I ask what neighborhood you like. And if the right answer is to wait a year and knock out the debt first, I'll say that.
What RamseyTrusted Means
Ramsey's team runs this evaluation themselves. It isn't a directory you buy your way into.
A verifiable history of closed transactions and clients who'd hire you again. Mine: 55 closings, $20.9M in volume, and 5.0 stars on Google.
Judged on how clients get treated, not on sales volume.
Plain answers about trade-offs, timelines, and what things cost.
Advice that fits your budget, not the path to the biggest commission.
The Coaching Side
Ramsey Solutions certifies independent financial coaches through a program called Financial Coach Master Training. I completed it, and I do one-on-one coaching for people who ask. It's separate from real estate, and I don't charge for it.
The line at the bottom of that certificate reads “Heart of a Teacher.” That's how I try to run a transaction: explain what's happening and why, instead of just pointing at where to sign.
Beyond the Transaction
The same nine-lesson course Ashley and I went through in 2018. I coordinate it locally and I don't get paid for it. If you want in on the next one, let me know.
Get Started
I answer these myself, usually the same day.
