Sometimes, letting go is the key to unlocking something truly extraordinary. 🔑

Around this time last year, my client bought this property as an investment, a stepping stone towards bigger things ahead. But life, as it often does, threw a curveball: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented itself for him to build his dream home a few years sooner than expected, and it required a shift in plans and a faster timeline.

Selling in the slower fall market wasn’t ideal, but his goal was to sell quickly rather than holding out for the possibility of more profit later (and I’m glad he didn’t wait!). We navigated the challenges with strategic marketing and skillful negotiation. While he may have taken a slight hit in the moment, it allowed him to free up some assets and get everything he wanted in his new home. In the end, it was all worth it.

They say you can never time the market, and after this deal I’d say that you can’t really time your dreams either. When the opportunity knocks, you either answer the call now or risk asking “what if?” forever…

Thank you Cristina Garza Vieau at Burnett Title for your assistance in getting this to the finish line 🏁

Vino & Visions with my girls 🍷
I had never done a vision board before until tonight - I always thought they were cheesy and so unserious. In reality, it was everything I needed: self reflection, accountability, grounding, vulnerability, and just being raw with my friends on what I’m going through and how I want to elevate my life in healthy and realistic ways. It was like a cleansing for my soul. I’m so thankful to have the circle of friends I’ve been blessed with. Being surrounded by like-minded people not only motivates me, but keeps me grounded. 2025 will be everything I want it to be ✨

A tale of two brothers and a dream 🏡
As my clients get cozy in their new home for the holidays, I’m realizing that this deal deserves more than a “just sold!! 🔑!” announcement and short little note that we often see; it was a journey filled with challenges and triumphs and needs to be shared as such. From navigating a competitive market with multiple offers, to securing a lightning-fast 8-day clear to close, to post-closing repairs and projects, we faced it all head-on.

But what truly made this experience extraordinary was the dedication and resilience of my clients. My buyers were soldiers! These incredible brothers, first-time homebuyers, poured their hearts and souls into this process. They spent countless hours working with me, learning the ins and outs of homeownership, and making tough decisions. In the end, it all worked out - and my team and I were able to save them over $14k in closing costs along the way.

Now, as they embark on this new chapter, the real work begins. Moving, making repairs & updates, creating a budget – it’s a lot to take on. But the reward? A home that’s uniquely theirs, a space where they can create lasting memories.

I’m honored to have been a part of their journey, and I can’t wait to see the beautiful home they’ll curate. Here’s to new beginnings and endless possibilities. 🥂

Although we all may have experienced phases of grief, loss, struggle, loneliness, confusion, frustration, and anxiety this year through our own journeys, there is still so much to be thankful for. I am overflowing with gratefulness this year - for my clients who have trusted me with one of the most important milestones of their lives; for my boyfriend, DeSean, and our supportive and loving families; to my tribe (you know who you are 🙏🏼); for my HEALTH - which after a couple years of bouncing back from an injury I am in the best shape of my life; and of course I am so thankful to have kept my faith in God and trusted whatever journey He has in store for me. From my family to yours, I hope you have a happy holiday season 🤎

There’s nothing wrong with saying goodbye 👋
A big congratulations to my client on a smooth sale of his townhome of almost 20 years! He purchased this back in the day as a bachelor, and over the years he’s happily grown in it, turned it into a rental, got married, successfully flourished and is now ready to cash in on his investment. My expert advice on investing in some updates upfront and pricing it strategically in the private listing network paid off - multiple offers in 3 days and a quick and smooth closing 🔑

Client and vendor reviews make my world go round 🌎
Story time: Brittany & David needed a bigger space to grow their family but wanted to stay within their kids’ school district. The idea of selling their townhome and buying a new house simultaneously was stressful for them at first, but I made it a seamless process with the right marketing, data insight and negotiating power. I helped them get top dollar for their old place and saved them thousands on their dream home in Aurora. ✨🏡
