The Beach is Calling!
Teddi and her late husband had built and raised their family in her house. The house had served them well for the 30+ years she lived there. It was time now to move on from that house and follow her dream…of living at the beach.
Even the Tupperware had memories!
It was the beginning of fall and I could feel a shift in the air-I know my client Kathleen did to. It was time for her to close a 58 year long chapter.

Is Realtor and miracle worker the same thing?
I have a coffee mug that has become one of my go to's for a while. I was gifted it in 2017 for doing my job.
I haven't really thought about this cup or the saying on it except that it made me smile...until today.
When I walked by my tea station, that cup seemed to shine just a bit more than normal. I reached for it and stared at the saying on front. I knew I had story to tell…

A Tale of Two Heirs
It may be my opinion because I am in the house selling business, But, it seems like homes are pretty high on the list of items that are inherited. When Doug asked me to sell his family’s house, I was very confident that it would be a smooth deal as my team & I have had quite a few transactions lately helping other sellers do the exact same thing…until it wasn’t.
How Can We Control The Weather?!
We had a few days until contracts were due after the open house... and then the storm hit-the biggest hail storm of the year! This house sat in the epicenter that was hit hardest. The 3 year old roof that we had so proudly paraded at the open house was pummeled by softball-sized hail.

Avril and Christian were under contract. We had a clean contract agreement with the seller. Closing was quickly approaching…until it wasn’t. See what happened that prolonged our closing by almost 3 months!
Hint; There was A MAJOR communication breakdown between the municipality and county.
Stalking Can Be A Good Thing!
See How this buyer’s strategy got her a house!
Olivia and Elliott had recently combined living spaces into Olivia's house. They also both now had jobs that allowed them to work from home. The work from home scenario is great in theory...unless you only have a 2 bedroom home and the 2nd bedroom is the only option for the work space. Needless to say, they needed more room! Read more about it below.
Does Timing Really matter?
Even in a great market, being in the right place at the right time still proves to make a difference!

Em's lease was coming up for renewal again. This time Em thought that she was finally in a position to take a leap into the world of homeownership and leave rentership behind her…or was the real estate market going to squash this vision?
