I always have been, and always will be – proud to be an American. Does it mean I agree with everything, of course not, but at the end of the day I am grateful for our country and all of her imperfections. The vastness, the variety, and ability to experience so much. We as individuals…
I used to dread calling Buyers agents after an offer review when they didn’t get the house. It’s never fun to deliver bad news, but I’ve found that if you lean in, there can be some great bonding moments that happen. Because at some point, we are all Buyer’s agents. For that specific property I…
Longer days and sunny skies mark the shift so summer routines and I’m so ready to mix things up. Once school gets out the energy shifts in our house. It’s more free flowing and a lot less structured. I love that the focus is more about fun and play than checking things off the list,…
I’m always amazed at how life plays out. Does anyone else have powerful lessons show up in the most unexpected ways? One of our epic Covid quarantine ideas was to plan a trip to Pinehurst, NC with some friends. Pinehurst is the Disneyland of golf, complete with the hedges that spell out the name –…

It sounds petty simple, but somewhere along the way motivation stops being enough. And that’s where things get sticky. My guess is that you set some sort…
I hope that you are crazy busy right now selling more homes than you ever have before. But on the off chance you’re not, this one’s for you. If you are like me, you track the market every day and are connected with lots of agents on social media. Some because you are friends, and…
Work – Life balance always feels like a topic worth revisiting this time of year. If you are buyer heavy right now, chances are things are a little nutty in your world. Sellers take a lot of prep time, but it’s time that can be pre scheduled and somewhat controlled. With buyers you are at…
It’s busy out there. One of the benefits of being busy is the ability to “stress test” your systems. It’s a perfect opportunity to recognize what’s working and fine tune what’s not. It’s also an opportunity for marketing gold – if you document it. Last year, I decided to invest in my own staging inventory…
