Helping families buy, sell and settle estates across Greater Baltimore.
Nearly 1,000 homes sold since I started in real estate in 2001. Today I'm a listing specialist with Cummings & Co. Realtors, and every client gets a written plan, weekly updates and a hard negotiator.

The market right now
Baltimore metro, September 2026. Here's what buyers and sellers are working with this fall.
Prices are holding steady, but buyers have more choice and are taking longer to decide. Pricing right and presenting the home well matter more this fall than they did a year ago.

Eight steps from our first meeting to closing day. Here's what happens at each one, and what helps.
- 1
Meet with me
There's no commitment for the first meeting. It's a conversation to help you understand the market and decide on next steps.
- 2
Set the price
I'll prepare a market analysis and we'll choose a listing price together.
It can be hard, but look at the analysis and your home's price objectively. The right price brings the most buyers.
- 3
Prepare the home
Look at your home through a buyer's eyes. I'll suggest staging, repairs and cosmetic updates, and bring in the people to do them.
- 4
Go on the market
Once everything is ready, your home is listed and marketed. Make it as easy as possible for buyers to see it.
Buyers may ask to visit on short notice. Say yes when you can. You never want to miss the right buyer.
- 5
Review offers
When a buyer's agent sends an offer, we go through it together.
We'll weigh the risks and benefits of every offer. You can accept, counter or decline based on the terms.
- 6
Go under contract
You and the buyer have agreed on terms.
- 7
Work through the details
The buyer finalizes their loan with their lender and completes their due diligence.
Most buyers order a home inspection and may ask for repairs before settlement. We'll look at your options and decide on a response together.
- 8
Close
Ownership transfers to the buyer. Depending on the move-in date, you'll need to be packed and ready to go.

Buying a home
From pre-approval to keys in hand.
- 1
Meet with me
Tell me what you're looking for: style, price range and location.
Before we tour, we'll sign a buyer agreement that explains my services and how I'm paid. Sellers often agree to cover it, and I'll walk you through your options.
- 2
Get pre-approved
Your lender will ask for pay stubs, W-2s and bank statements. Knowing your budget makes every later step easier.
- 3
Search for homes
We'll look at homes together until we find the right one.
I can show you every available home that fits your criteria, including some before they reach the public sites.
- 4
Make an offer
We'll write an offer together, using the price and terms you choose.
- 5
Negotiate
It can take a few rounds to reach an agreement.
Your contract usually includes time to get financing and inspect the home. I'll keep you ahead of every deadline.
- 6
Go under contract
You and the seller agree on terms, and the home is held for you until closing.
This is when money first changes hands: an earnest money deposit, typically 1% of the price. Budget at least $1,000 for the inspection and appraisal.
- 7
Work through the details
Complete the inspection and appraisal, and finalize your loan with your lender.
- 8
Close
You wire your cash to close to the title company, which handles the settlement. Then the keys are yours.
Cash to close covers the rest of your down payment, plus taxes and fees.
Probate and estate sales
Selling a loved one's home while the estate is being settled.
Settling an estate is a lot to carry. I handle the sale of the house so the personal representative and the family can focus on everything else, whether you live nearby or out of state.
Coordination
- I work with the estate attorney and the personal representative.
- Every heir gets regular updates in plain language.
- I follow the Register of Wills timeline and any court approvals the sale needs.
Care for a vacant home
- I check on the house and manage access while it's empty.
- I refer trusted cleanout, estate sale, repair and staging companies.
- Family out of state can handle everything remotely.
As-is or prepared
- I compare what the estate would net from an as-is sale with a prepared, staged sale.
- Pricing comes from current local sales.
- Marketing reaches both investors and owner-occupant buyers.
Through to closing
- The home gets the same full marketing plan as every listing.
- I negotiate offers and manage the inspection and settlement.
- I coordinate closing with the attorney and the title company.
I'm not an attorney and this isn't legal advice. I'm glad to refer you to experienced Maryland estate attorneys.
"She goes above and beyond to make each of her listings stand out, to sell quickly and for the best price possible."
The Amato family, repeat sellers
"Angela managed to not only sell our home but exceed our expectations in every way. She brought in an interior designer to stage our home, contractors for painting and repairs, and the marketing was better than I could have imagined."
Jim and Stacey, sellers
"Relocating from Boston, it was difficult for us to search for a new home. Angela took over and put us completely at ease. She found us the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood."
Chris, Amy and family, relocation buyers
About Angela
I started in real estate in 2001 and have been a Top Producer ever since, ranking among the top 5% of local Realtors with record sales every year since 2010.
My approach is simple. I out-work the competition, put my clients' needs first, and bring an aggressive plan to every listing. Sellers get a detailed staging and marketing plan, and the track record to back it up.
Outside of work, I'm a competitive athlete. I race everything from Hyrox to triathlons, cycling and running events, and even Strongwoman. Training keeps me disciplined and competitive, and I bring that same drive to every client I work for.
I studied at Penn State and the University of Baltimore.
