Read MoreAm I The Only One Who Feels Weird During The Holidays?
There are so many things I love about Christmas – time with family and friends, the light displays, decorating the tree with sentimental ornaments, baking endless batches of cookies, and so much more. But there is an underlying stress that can make it tough to fully engage. When you are in sales – there is…
Read MoreThe Energy Of Enoughness
The Holidays are here. The New Year is coming. There is a beauty this time of year about reflecting on what has happened in the last 12 months and dreaming into what we want the next 12 to bring. But there is an in between that can get a little sticky – like you’re stuck…
Read MoreA Common Misconception About Gratitude
It wouldn’t be November without a gratitude post. Specifically the energy of gratitude. There’s a funny misconception about gratitude as it relates to ‘what you focus on expands’ and setting goals for the coming year that are different from what you accomplished this year. I see a lot of people afraid to be grateful for…
Read MoreWhat’s Your Value When You Can’t Market Your Stats?
This week’s post is for listing agents. We’ve gotten used to our stats being our point of value. We lead with our average market time, or our list to sales price ratio. And while you can still out perform the market, it feels less exciting to boast about double digit market times and a sale…

Read MoreYour Stuff Has Energy
We’ve been talking a lot lately about energy as it relates to people and situations. So it should come as no surprise to realize that your stuff has energy too. We experience it when we go into homes that are on the market. Some feel welcoming and others not so much. Some feel restricted and…
Read MoreI Don’t Believe In One Hit Wonders
As we head into the final stretch of 2022, I know a lot of agents who haven’t made as much as last year. For many of them, last year was their best yet. Which brings a sense of confidence and accomplishment, but can easily roll over into worry. I wonder if I can do this…
Read MoreInterest Rates Don’t Determine The Market – Life Does
We can’t seem to catch a break with interest rates lately. The Fed voted to increase them again this week. And while mortgage rates didn’t instantly shoot up, it’s going to have an impact. Every 1% raise in interest rates decreases buying power by 10%, and they are up almost 3% from last year. That’s…
