Kayleigh

Kayleigh is a multi-million dollar producing agent successfully selling real estate from high-end luxury listings to many other various price points as well as an interior designer.

As a real estate agent and designer, I offer a holistic approach to the home-buying and selling process. With a deep understanding of feng shui and a connection to my intuition, I help my clients find homes that not only look beautiful but also feel energetically supportive.

My design philosophy is based on the principles of feng shui, an ancient Chinese practice that uses energy and the natural flow of elements to create harmony and balance in living spaces. I use this knowledge to help my clients design spaces that promote health, happiness, and prosperity. As a feng shui practitioner, I apply these [rinciples to evaluate properties and recommend changes that can improve the flow of energy and create a more positive environment.

Furthermore, as a licensed real estate agent, I have a comprehensive understanding of the market and its trends. I use this knowledge to help my clients make informed decisions and negotiate the best possible deals.

But beyond my professional expertise, what sets me apart is my ability to combine my knowledge of luxury real estate with my feng shui experience and intuition. I tune into my clients' energy and personal style, and use this knowledge to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also supports their overall well-being. Whether we're touring a property or staging a home for sale, I trust my instincts to lead the way.

My goal is to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also feel energetically balanced and supportive. I believe that our homes should be a sanctuary where we heal, grow and thrive. So if you're ready to find or create a home that inspires and uplifts you, I'm here to guide you on your journey. Let's work together to make your real estate dreams a reality.

    During the inspection period, you will have the opportunity to review the inspection reports and discuss any concerns with your real estate agent. If any issues are identified, you can negotiate with the seller for repairs, credits, or other appropriate resolutions.

    We work closely with trusted and qualified inspectors in the area and can provide recommendations to help you find professionals who will thoroughly evaluate the property.
